Before we moved here, the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays were the laughingstock of baseball, never winning more than 70 games in a season. The year we move here, the Rays win 97 games and beat the Red Sox to win the American League pennant. Coincidence?
Anyway, it's been a fun ride. I've been watching them all season, and I've really gotten into them. Nina and I have been watching the playoff games togather. Good thing they're not playing the Cardinals in the World Series, because it would be really, really hard to root against the Rays.

That's fine. I guess instant disloyalty is what you get for moving to an American League city. You dance with the girl who brung you, shitbrick.
Go Cards!
(next year (of course) and if not, then sometime soon)
It's "dance with the girl what brung you" and hey, I've got no problem rooting for the Rays while the Cards are playing golf and figuring out which roster needs they're going to continue to ignore. I'll root for the Rays until they play the Cards.
boys, boys.. nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gives a shit about baseball, let alone what DAVE thinks about baseball.
I'm glad you obviously got the point of my post, even if you had to sift through my ignorance of a particular phrase. That alone must have taken most of the day - just to figure out what I meant! What keen linguistic skills you must have to interpret such a faulty metaphor. Can you forgive me?
Shitbrick.
By the way, why did they drop the Devil from their name? Is it because the fucking Christian right decided that fewer people will go to heaven if their baseball team has the word Devil in it?
That may be an exaggeration, but I bet it's close.
I've been sitting here for the past two and a half hours trying to apply my keen linguistic skills to your last comment, and all I can really muster is "blow me." So much for wit.
The team's official line was that removing the "Devil" was part of an offseason identity overhaul, in which the team also changed its uniform logo and team colors, changed the name of their mascot from Morticus the Putrid to Flappy The Happy Ray, and renamed the stadium Tropicana Field (instead of The Pit of Despair.)

That explains everything. I once again stand humiliated and mistaken. How 'bout them Rams?
This post has set the record for the most comments on this blog, getting even more comments than that really cool video of Nate going "Kick Kick Kick!" Hopefully, this thread comes to an end.
Screw Barack Obama! NASCAR Sucks!
And, for the record, it's "You dance with the young lady you came with"...
not quite....it's from Molly Ivins I think and it's, Dance with the guy who brung you,
I was just correcting their "english"... I didn't realize it was an actual phrase. But THANKS for one-upping me- as usual.
The actual quote is "Dance with them what brung you."
The Iowa Hawkeyes suck!
For the record, the arrogant & taunting message above was from Dave. What a tool.
