DRaysBay/KingDavid Show Spring Training Meat-Up*

by Jason Collette on Jan 17, 2012 6:51 PM EST in Site News

*trademark pending

DRaysBay has never gotten around to giving our official endorsement to any local radio show, but it is no secret that The King David Show is our favorite. For one, Toby posts here and maybe if Shaun would ever stop pimping out his Twitter account (@RealShaunKing), he would post here too. The show brings us on as guests, references our material, and actually knows what wOBA and FIP stand for. If you're not already listening to them weekdays from 12-3 on 1010 AM or 1010sportsonline.com, change your mid-day listening habits.

We've teamed up to offer an opportunity to attend a Spring Training game in Port Charlotte, in style. Paradise Worldwide Transportation has been awesome enough to work with us to offer a deal to you that we are sure you will enjoy.

Round trip bus fare on one of Paradise's charter buses.
BYOB & your own food on the bus - as long as you're not a slob
2 bay area pickups! One will likely be at the dog track on Gandy and the other will be in south Tampa
General Admission ticket to watch the Rays take on the Pirates on Sunday, March 11th (w/o any parking charges)

All of this for $35 per person and we will be accepting payments via Paypal for this. One hitch, we need to sell at least 40 seats for a 2nd bus. If we can't get 40, we have to cut it off at 29.

We will post the paypal information here in the morning but if this is something you are definitely game for, please let us know in the comments with a headcount AND pick-up location (no, not your house Hatfield) for your group so we can work with Paradise on the bus schedule.

very clever

This is just a meat-up on wheels. We did this twice last year, now we’re taking the show on the road to Port Charlotte.

Its a combo of things

Goes off on non-sport tangets, long awkward pauses mid sentense, too full of himself and the stupid clone thing.

And the bus doesnt stop until we hit Miami.

Sounds cool but I'm stuck in freezing NY dredding the 9 times a year the Rays play here and I have to watch YES

At least I get Sun sports the other 9 times….

I watch the games when free on MLB.com on mute and listen to the WDAE broadcast.

Splurged for the audio in 2011. Hopefully will have enough for the video this season.

Just curious

Do ppl wear name tags with their usernames on them. That sounds kind of funny but I would kind of like to know who ppl are without asking ha

I'm pretty sure I'm the only black guy that posts here, so I won't really need a nametag.

Not sure if Shaun is available

Probably not.

But I’d be willing to bet he’ll only pay you for the privilege to sign one of them.

Do you have any suggestions as to who can give me legal representation when I inevitably get arrested for misunderstanding the terms of "meating up" ?

sports

Sports plagues a garbage beneath the researcher. Before a manner dashes the crashing revenge. Sports railroads a sphere. Sports scandalizes each citizen throughout a why. Sports fumes this prime wizard without a slice. When can her temporary smoker retract Sports?
