The Rays come to Tampa

I know it's been two months since my last post and alot of has happened. I'm starting to wish I talked about the Yankees-Dodgers World Series. Probably could have been a better Series if The Yankees got the final out in Game 1 and sorry Yankees fans Game 5. Trust me it sucks losing to the Dodgers in the World Series, my Rays lost to them and some Rays fans haven't forgiven Kevin Cash for pulling Blake Snell from Game 6 after only 71 pitches. Granted yes, Yankees to the Dodgers in More World Series like in 1964 and 1981 in addition to this past season. Also, Juan Soto got 765 Million Dollars for 15 Years to be with the Mets. Sorry Yankees fans. Speaking of the Yankees, The Rays will play the Yankees Spring Training and Tampa Tarpons home for the 2025 season and so far only for that season after the Roof at the Trop collapsed because Hurricane Milton hit the area. If you're wondering, Steinbrenner Field seats 11 thousand people. I wonder if they could add more seats in Left Field and Center though who will pay for that if that happens. Right Field isn't expanding, too close to Dale Mabry. I believe it would be a good place for the Rays to built a stadium in the future but they would have to buy the land from the Yankees (or whoever owns that land) and buy up surrounding areas. However, will Hillsborough County Commissioners play ball (some pun intended)? The team is having a heck of a time with the Pinellas County Commissioners. I rather not get into politics of it. Trying not to go back to talking about politics here. However, I will say that I wished the owners who are mostly billionaires would pay for the majority of the new stadium. Maybe time to time but that's it. Are the Rays ownership negotiating in good faith or they trying to pull what the ownership of the A's did and move out. In a related story, the A's are playing in Sacramento for the next three years at the Triple-A stadium there. I know the Rays copied Moneyball from them and this is ridiculous. I'm sure MLB loves that two of their teams are in minor leagues stadiums. Probably should be three considering that the White Sox would lose to a few Triple-A teams since they lost more games than any other team in the modern era with 121 losses. Will things improve for the White Sox? Who knows? The 2021 Baltimore Orioles lost over 100 games then two years later they won over 100 games. Just saying White Sox fans. Granted yes the A's had a choice, they could have played three more years in Oakland but decided not to. The Rays not so much. As for the Trop, honestly, I don't think it should be rebuilt. For what? Play for another two seasons then the Trop will be destroyed in 2028? I don't think so. I rather the Rays play in Steinbrenner Field for the next three years not just one. I know wishful thinking but spent 55 million for something that's going to be gone in a few years. I believe that money could go elsewhere. At least for a season, us Tampa residents get our wish of the Rays playing in Tampa though again the stadium seats 11K. I better go to a games or several myself.

I have Questions about Only Murders In the Building in the casting

I should say spoiler alert for those who haven't watch it yet. Also, it got a fifth season. Wanted to share Besides who was the target, Sazz or Charles. Anyway, it starts after the play happened which I hoping becomes an actual play on Broadway. Sadly for Oliver, the play only lasts one night as his producers, the mother and son team are facing Murder/Attempted Murder charges and using that money for attorneys. Well the Murder charge with Cliff could be dropped down to manslaughter possibly. That's a shame, I would have loved to see Oliver continue working on that show. Heck I would like to see the play made for real. Charles maybe though he was the only one relived the show ended and possibly Oliver's girlfriend Loretta played by the legendary Meryl Streep who landed gigs in Hollywood. However, it wasn't the end for our heroes as they got emails from Paramount Studio to do a movie on their podcast. Also, if you remember from the season three finale. Sazz, Charles' ...

More Guns doesn't mean more safety in schools

     After the Stoneman Douglas commission led by Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri suggested that school should armed teachers it's been a divisive topic. Heck, I lost a friend because I said he didn't care for his kids and he said among other things I crossed a line. I did I admit especially 1. I don't have kids myself and 2. How would I like it if someone said the same thing to me on me not wanting to arm teachers with guns? I would be pissed too. I know I have said a number of times of Facebook and here that Republicans don't give a shit about their kids. I think when it came to the election in 2016 (and to some extent 2018) a number of people wanted for most themselves like "sorry about your schools and the environment we're about to leave you with but daddy needs a job" or "Mommy needs a job". I know low of me to say especially since I probably still have Conservatives who have kids and aren't pissed at me yet. However, if you reall...

My dream Challenge season

     Not to be confused in my Gauntlet 2 dream post I did last summer. I wished Danny was still alive to ask him if he would have spared me from the next male elimination if he was team captain. Now back to the present. I'm been trying to figure a number of things really but one of those is what would my dream season of MTV's the Challenge. What if MTV gave me control of a season and who to put in (I know wishful thinking but I'm going there). My choice of format is going to be Bloodlines (I also have another dream format called the Wes vs Bananas but I don't know who I would put in team Wes and team Bananas because I don't know who friendly with either guy so I hold off until I heard from both guys or at least Wes because that bitch Bananas blocked me from Twitter and Instagram and yet I don't regret). Also, would I block that bitch Bananas and Ashley M from the Challenge? Thought about it and decided I won't plus Bananas is the franchise plus I want to see...
