Too bad the council didn't read my post before it voted! LOL.

The Rays are gone and St Pete should look at every possible way not to fix the Trop, even if it involves paying the Rays money for damages.

That $40m the Rays offered St Pete a dozen years ago to break the lease as leave sure looks mighty attractive now. I'm going to be sure to mention that if Wengay Newton, Steve Kornell, or Bill Foster ever run for office again.

Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
