you guys are kidding, right?….you’re really saying the TAMPA BAY RAYS are getting to much “love” and too much publicity in these parts? It’s Red Sox 24/7 365 days a year around here. Of course I realize they are the local team but you get my drift. If some of the scribes are actually writing about another MLB team for a few columns it’s not going to kill anyone….(and this is coming from somebody who for the most part can’t stand the Boston media)

I have never seen a baseball gm do so little with so much hype in my life. The guy gets a pass from the Boston Mediots because he’s loved by the oft-wrong Gammons, and he’s from New England.

Just be glad that the J. P. Ricciardi-led Blue Jays haven’t won anything. THAT would be a media crush.

You know what: as much as the Rays went out and earned every drop of respect they’ve been given over the past year, the man crush that the Boston sports media has on them needs to end now.

Here are the facts:

-They will never have a rivalry with the Red Sox even remotely as tense as the one with the Yankees. One team has contributed to 90 years of heartache. The other has 365 days.
-The Red Sox – banged up and “old” as they are, stretched the ALCS to 7 games. They were 2 games out of the AL east title. This hardly leads me to believe that the Rays have lapped them for the foreseeable future.
-If I was going to be jealous of any team in baseball right now, it would probably be the Phillies given that they just won the World Series. That is the point, right?

Can we please wait and see how the Rays respond to this season before we crown them the best team in baseball for the foreseeable future? Thank you.
