I attended the first night game ever at McKechnie Field a few years ago.
Still have the free mug at home given to celebrate the occasion.
Game was rained out!!!

No chance of that tonight with the beautiful sun picture Dejan sent out.

Have a "day at the beach" at the ballpark, Dejan!!

Stewart's hammy isn't helping.

9,018 at tonight's game. Rojas Jr. injured hand on a bunt attempt but he stays at bat.

...and a double-play ends the Tigers rally in the ninth.

Bucs win 9-8.

Actually 8-7. Headline also wrong. But then the scores don't count in ST.

ROOT in mid-season form! Focus on everything but the game and shill! shill! shill!
Promote the giveaways! Show the parrot! Have Steve Blass ramble on about something irrelevent! Forget telling the viewers who's pitching or who's batting.

Thank goodness for the mute button.

With Burnetts endorsement coupled with the spring he is having and the work he has done very visible i will be upset if Tony sanchez doesnt make the bucs opening days roster.

I am happy also that Tony Sanchez appears to finally be turning the corner . . . . . . . . but do you want to base a whole season or roster on 19 at bats? Spring Training at bats?

Let me introduce you to Mr. Monroe over here, our new slugging outfielder.

Do you think Sanchez has any chance to come North in April?
