Small Market Teams loving Rays

I think I speak for a lot of small market team fans, when I say that a lot of fans from those teams, are absolutely loving how the Rays are doing. 

As an A's fan, I check continually how the Rays are doing for several reasons.  I like the "Build from within" from the farm system that small market teams have to do, and am enjoying the cinderella story that is unfolding with the Rays.

The bullys of the east, are not looking so tough now, and we all have the Rays to thank for that.  You guys will enjoy rooting for this team for years, as I have the A's because they are being built the right way.

Just a "Woooo Hoooo" thrown out to you Rays fans from an A's fan.

Thank you

Good luck to your team, just not when we play eachother.

I want to say thank you to all the men and women who have served, will serve, and are serving in our countries military services

Of course if this continues for a few years, other fans will turn against us (see Atlanta Braves).

Longlorious.

This team reminds me of the Major League movies

only our owner isnt that hot and we dont have as much character. Still it’s almost like a movie the way radio, tv announcers, caoches, players, fans- don t know what to expect and don’t care think playoffs. Its an odd feeling to be the best team in baseball right now

Thanks for the compliments

I always like following the A’s and what they do as well, so that makes the interest mutual. Best of luck to Oakland in the coming years.
