Is there a conspiracy against the Rays??

On Sunday, a national TV audience got to see the upstart Tampa Bay Rays play the Chicago White Sox. Unfortunately (or maybe it's a good thing?) they also were able to see one of the worst calls go against them, ultimately costing them the game. It was the 2nd bad call in a week. 620 WDAE sports talk host Steve Duemig reported of a study that shows the Rays and Angels get jobbed the most, while the Yankees and Red Sox get the benefit of the doubt the most.  Read this article at SureThingbaseball.com and tell me what you think.  I think you may agree to the trend against the Rays.

Well as credible of as source as Steven is

it seems like he could have provided evidence outside of the obvious bitch about the call. Even Dan Akroyd has evidence in that crazy UFO/Aliens movie he made. Bad calls happen and tend to even out in the long run if you don’t whine about it. Good hitters don’t bitch balls and strikes because they know a decent ump will get them back.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

No doubt about it!

There is definately a conspiracy against the Rays just because they are not baseball royalty. I think it also has a lot to do with the northeast media bias.
