I never thought that I'd see the day where they had reporters in the dugouts and special segments on sportscenter about the rays.  I cannot stop watching the interviews.  James Shields stands out in my mind.  He handled himself very well! Is it me or was it like seeing a family member being on tv? I know we watch these guys every single game and yes, they are televised but don't you feel like that?  Even Maddon handles himself well! I know I know, they're grown men but WOW. This is the most excited I've ever been about these rays.  I am by far no bandwagoner, I was there watching over the struggles and awefulness.  I guess this is why, just as you guys are, am so freaking excited. 

On a side note.  You guys may not believe me but the night before June 30th's game, I dreamt of B.J. hitting a lead off homerun.  Freaky eh?
