Anyone going to any of the games in New York this weekend?

Assuming the Rays get the sweep of the Royals today, a monstrous series with the Yankees awaits. I'm planning to go to the Friday and Saturday games and am wondering if any fellow Rays fans are going. Got to make sure we represent! Can't wait to sport my Price and Longoria shirts and be "that guy". Figure it couldn't hurt to find some other Rays fans to unite with. Fight the power!

No

After having spent so many childhood days in the real Yankee Stadium, I will never set foot in that pompous imposter. But yeah, should be a good series and a chance for the Rays to get right back into the race. Try not to get killed up there!

Yes

Planned to go to the Price game but it fell through

going Saturday Chamberlain vs Garza is cool also.

Rotation: 1. James Shields 2. Matt Garza 3. David Price 4. Jeff Niemann 5. Andy Sonnanstine...... Coming Soon: Wade Davis......Scott Kazmir?

I saw a Twins series at Yankee stadium

And there were a lot of Twins fans, I mean a lot. So the same could bode for Rays fans.

Thought about it since I know someone with tickets who would take me

but then I went back to sleep.

Haha, I hope she doesn't get "cunty" either

I'll be there Friday and Saturday with my woman.

I was hoping to have a Drays bay shirt by then.

those prices showed me why the attendance has been so bad

I better get a win and at least a blow job for the money I spent.

If she's a Yankees fan you should make a bet with her on the game

Then 1 could lead to the other

my plan is more evil

I will pretend to be a Yankees fan with her and try for either a “pity” or “celebration” Upton

I still think you should go with this

If the Rays win she has to give you a beej, but if the Yankees win she gets the privilege of gicing you a beej.

Good luck either way. I hear fat chicks give good head!

shes actually hot and has been nice

so I expect to be incredibly dumb which can work in my advantage

You expect her to be incredibly dumb or yourself?

Just giving you a hard time anyways, so no need to defend yourself.

I wasnt insulted and I meant I expect her to be incredibly dumb

Out of being hot, nice and smart, you are lucky to get 2, all 3 doesnt happen

Why?

I’ve gone to Yankees Stadium in Rays gear a bunch of times and never had a problem. Only the bleachers are an issue, and in the old days they had a separate entrance (I have no idea if that’s still the case).

Never been a problem for me.

And I get belligerently drunk and incredibly loud. Despite that everyones been cordial to me. I just make sure to keep the language civil.

Be there Saturday

Was going to go Friday too – but the weather looks terrible. Was up there in Sept last year when one of the games was rained out after I sat there forever…sucked.

Be in the bleachers (and wandering around the stadium) Tallest guy you’ll see in a Rays shirt.

Tomorrow will be rained out.

by davelrogers on Jun 4, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah - i'm expecting the same

Wonder if they’ll add a Saturday night game as makeup?

by TallMatt on Jun 5, 2009 9:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'll be in the bleachers Saturday, too.

I’ll be the short girl in a Rays shirt. I had more problems in Philly last year in my Rays gear than I did at Yankee Stadium. But this will be my first visit to the bleachers.

by razorgirl on Jun 5, 2009 11:27 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'll look for you

btw – I’m not kidding…I’ll be fairly easy to spot. I’m Jeff Niemenn size

I'd love to

But I’ll probably be working.

Um we could have a problem here

If tonight gets rained out and it sure looks like it will and Price goes tomorrow, he would be on 3 days rest for his next start which wont be happening.

Could we see Kaz make a start next week?

This really sucks too

cause I have tickets for what would be the next start

by nolesblogger on Jun 5, 2009 3:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'll be there tomorrow and Sunday

Posting this from the Syracuse Airport, after spending the day at the Hall of Fame. Amazing. The Rays locker is mostly Devil Rays-ridden, but there’s a big display in the World Series room that has BJ’s cleats from the ALCS game where he stole three bases, his bat from the ALCS, CC’s jersey, a cowbell, and Maddon’s Elmer Fudd hat. Pretty sweet. I took pics. Maybe I’ll post them next week.

So long, Sweet Lime!

and I bought a Durham shirt, hat, and a Biscuits shirt at one of the little souvenir stores

If you see a guy in a light blue BJ shirt and black Rays hat this weekend at the stadium, say hey. I would’ve worn my Rays-colored Puma hightops, but there wasn’t room in the suitcase.

So long, Sweet Lime!
