To our expansion brothers in Tampa Bay:

Hello, Rays fans. As a Dbacks fan, I was reading your story a few days ago about foreign fans invading the Trop. I can certainly sympathize; when it was revealed that we were going to play the Cubs in the NLDS last year, the Arizona Republic quoted some Chicago fan douchebag buying tix at Chase, saying: "We're gonna be here in force. Just call this place Wrigley Field West."

Also, I wanted to congratulate you guys on the awesome season you're having, and I hope you'll keep it up -- at least making a push for the WC, although I'd be happier if you won the AL East. I think I represent every small and medium market MLB team when I say, we're all pulling for ya. Screw the Evil Empire and Evil Empire Jr. ;-)

Stop by the 'Pit and say hello sometime. Oh... and go kick the Marlins' asses?

Thanks

The D-Backs have a pretty impressive team themselves. Hopefully we can both hang onto our limb of the Upton family tree for quite a while.

Thank you!

Good luck to the D-back. I loved when I went to the BoB. It’ was an awesome stadium. I personally loved going to Alice Coopertown after the game!

In the name of Sinji Mori, we shall win!

Was there a man, behind a mask?

What parties are you going to?

Second thought. I don’t want to know.

You have failed us tonight.

Upton didn't play

that’s a recipe for failure.

I ask forgiveness, oh brothers.

Bob Melvin’s fault. With a 4-1 lead in the 8th, he sent Doug Davis out for another inning, and Davis allowed 2 singles. Then Melvin brings in Chad Qualls—the guy who, before last night, had allowed 40% (6 of 14) inherited baserunners to score. THEN Melvin doesn’t pull Qualls until he’s fully given up 4 runs. ARGH.

Sorry, venting.

FWIW, it’s only our first ever L at Fenway. We’re now 4-1.

Have the Dodgers lost yet?
