I had to share this...
I was on the phone with my pops this weekend and he was all excited because the Mets have this new reliever that's been lights out lately.  When he told me his name was Brian Stokes I almost fell off my couch.  I told him that Stokes was a bad word around these parts.  I also saw that they picked up Al Reyes, so if by chance they call up Ruddy Lugo, their pen will look suspiciously like Devil Rays 07.  If these are the guys they're leaning on down the stretch, the Mets should seriously start worrying. 

So I'm driving to my in-laws house 20 minutes after the Rays just swept the Red Sox in one of the best series ever played by our boys, and I start to get a sick feeling.  I'm getting this feeling because not only did I have to sit through 3 straight games of half the Trop crowd wearing red, but now I'm seeing hundreds of  VOTE NO TO WATERFRONT STADIUM signs everywhere I look!  At first there were a couple here or there, but like pennies and closet hangers they seems to have multiplied like crazy overnight!!!  I live about 3 miles from my in-laws, but in that short distance I must have counted at least 50 of these signs on people's lawns and street corners.

The website listed on the sign is www.stpetepoww.com and I recently checked it out.  Among its many  concerns it lists everything from environmental issues (I might buy that) to ruined existing waterfront vistas (I definitely don't buy that).  Anyway, as a huge supporter of the team and a believer in the proposed stadium I feel obligated to combat this propaganda.  I understand that only Pinellas County residents can vote on this issue in November, so I implore the Rays to create big blue VOTE YES TO WATERFRONT STADIUM signs for local supporters to proudly display. 

Anybody with me?
