John Romano's take on Sternberg's comments re: attendance

by bobr on Oct 6, 2011 9:38 AM EDT

From today's paper:

http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/tampa-bay-rays-success-and-maybe-the-franchise-wont-last-with-status-quo/1195459

Perhaps a minor point, but he makes a comment that reflects something that occurred to me. Sternberg responded immediately after the loss. He was frustrated as all fans were and vented. Look at his comments again. They focus on the view that with more money he might have been able to acquire 2 or 3 big bats to put them over the top.

Maybe he should be more careful to censor himself, but in a way I appreciate what seems like his passion to build a winner.

Romano's column was certainly better than Chip Carter's piece on Fox13

Carter’s was more of a rant. Instead of whining, tell us WHY you need a new stadium. Tell us what problem this is supposed to fix. Um, Chip? He has. The organization has. Study groups have. Repeatedly. That the major media players in this market continue to perpetuate the “there’s nothing wrong he’s just a whiny millionaire” stereotype (or worse, the “maybe we’re just not a baseball town” trope) is a huge part of the problem here.
