You’ve been quite the classy ambassador, and if nothing else this is probably the most exciting series of the season.

Hopefully a few of the BCB posters come to realize this instead of saying we’re just going to be ordinary. I guess defensive efficiency means nothing to them.

So while I’m sure you guys will be in the playoffs, we’ll see if we can’t join you.

You are most certainly a classy ambassador for Cubs fans, and although it was annoying to be completed dominated at Wednesday night’s game, I will give Cub fans credit for being true baseball fans, rather than bandwagoners. Seriously though, best of luck to you and your team from here on out.

Class act, as most Cubs fans have been. It’ s rather awkward trying to enjoy a victory when most Cubs fans this dearies have been so damn humble. This is coming from a guy who regularly deals with Red Sux and Stanks fans.

Would I love a Cubs- Rays World Series. Hell I would take any World Series where the Rays appear.

Simply said: the Rays won by string at bats together and continuing to add on runs and relying on sharp bullpen arms.

I was very impressed with Derrick Lee, Fukudome, and Theriot. I was surprised with he errors mad by your club though. If you had to put a finger on the one thing that cost you games, it would be the errors. With the errors made on the field, that cost your pitcher valuable pitches and added runners on base.

Take care of yourself and be safe.

and most Cubs fans were very nice, even when they took the 3-0 lead. However I was in the upper deck and one drunkin Cubs fan started a fist fight with some Ray fan…uncalled for. What made it worse was when the Cubs fan was kicked out a few other Cubs fans threw their beers on that Rays fan.

Call me crazy but those Cubs fans are not the norm…in fact, I’d say they were acting more like White Sox fans-probably South Siders…

Overall, good series.

Note to Cubs fans: Your boys are welcome here anytime!

Unfortunately, there are bad apples in every tree. I swear, if I weren’t so foggy headed and thinking of fishing this afternoon, I could come up with a better cliche.

DancingRays, you are right. Errors have killed us this year. Theriot has had a surprisingly good season at the dish. Lots of us had our doubts - and still do to a degree - on whether he could maintain his average and OPS throughout a full season, but he has really stepped up and handled it well. His defense is a little suspect at times, and he makes baserunning errors, but we knew what we were getting with him. We have Cedeno as a backup, and he has been hitting major league pitching a lot better, and is very slick with the glove. I suspect he will become trade bait come deadline time this year. Derrek Lee is steady, although his strikeouts have been high lately. He is consistent and usually works in streaks. Fukudome has been a pleasant find, and exactly what we were looking for. He works the count as good or better than anyone in the bigs. His power numbers are down since coming over from Japan, but he is far and above what we have had in the past roaming right field.

I apologize for the raucous Cubs fans at the Trop that sully our good name. If it’s any consolation, we throw them out at Wrigley too. :)

I hadn’t really seen the Rays play much this year. I was somewhat familiar with the team and I knew you had a lot of young talent but I didn’t expect anything like what I saw the last 3 days. I’m certainly glad that the Cubs don’t have to play down there on a regular basis. After watching you guys the past few days I have no doubt that you will be in there in the end.

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way. It’d be nice to see someone besides the Yanks or the Red Sox make it to the playoffs from the AL East.

I heard you the first time. You’ve made your point, I just don’t care. You see things one way, and I see it another. BFD.

I’m a Cubs fan too but my sister and mother have both relocated to the Bay area so I’ve caught the occasional Rays game on my visits since ‘98. I will always be a Cubs fan but I’ve slowly developed a soft spot for the Rays and I was thrilled, not just to them playing so well, but see such a good atmosphere in the Trop. Sure, there were lots of Cub fans at each game, but the Rays fans made a lot of noise throughout of the series. From the TV at least, it sounded very loud inside the dome, a welcome change from many of the games that I’ve attended. If they can stay in the race into September and October, that much-maligned dome will be a real home field advantage…

So well done, I was glad to see that such a talented, exciting team is getting the support that it deserves.

Out of curiousity, because I haven’t followed any developments, what is the status of the team’s attempt to build a new park on the Al Lang Field site? If that proposal is still on the table, is the Rays’ emergence as a contender helping to move it forward?

The cubs fans are the best in baseball. The main reason being, they have put up with sucking for 100 years. I am a rays ran, but I wish the rays fans would come and visit Tropicana. Congrants to you few fans who enjoy season tickets and support the rays.
