"Rays third baseman Evan Longoria ripped his team's lack of fan support Monday night as the Rays sat on the brink of clinching a playoff berth. Only 12,446 turned out to see the Rays' loss to the Orioles. After the game, Longoria brought up the topic of low attendance unprompted. Said the 24-year-old: "It's kind of like, What else do you have to do to draw fans in this place? It's actually embarrassing for us (WEEI)."
Longoria has every right to be upset. The Rays are one of the best teams in baseball, they are young, fast, exciting, and have some of the best pitching in all of baseball yet more fans came out to watch Tyler Seguin's and the rest of the Bruins scrimmage the Islanders. That is just fucking sad. The Rays stadium is a joke, their fan base is a joke, and they really should move and get new owners. Imagine if this team had a payroll to fall back on with all that young talent, they would be unstoppable.
Anyways, it's pretty obvious this Rays team deserves better.
