Coming Together As A Nation

Much can be said for the state of America right now. As the government spends your money to promoting actions that would put a few names in old Joe McCarthy's pocket while the most absurd candidates are fighting to lead our country, many people are looking at themselves in the mirror and asking themselves...what can I do now?

I've got the answer for you. Get behind the Tampa Bay Rays with everything you've got.

Never before has there been one team that no one has really cared about with a shot at going to the World Series. Who likes the Red Sox? Who cares about the Phillies or Dodgers (outside of the ManRam)? Would it be great to see the ManRam in Dodger blue crushing everything in site off, over and into the Green Monster? Well, yeah. But...what he, like Jonathan Moxon, is only one man.

The Rays winning a World Series would defy every odd, arguably in baseball history. Never before has a sport been so invested in it's players. You know the salaries and who gets them. But if you go to a Rays game, who's name would you see on the back of a fan's jersey? Crawford? Well, he's hurt anyway. Kazmir? No, I didn't misspell the title of the Zeppelin classic. Longoria? That's Evan not Eva.

You don't know these guys. I mean, I barely know who they are. But they are the American League Eastern Division Champions not named Yankees or Red Sox. So this team of young kids with nothing to lose are staring down the most coveted championship in American sports. A bunch of guys you've never heard of, who play hard, lay down bunts, and pitch well top to bottom...who play the game the way it was meant to be played. The way it was coached to you in little league.

If you need something to get excited about, hurry up and get excited about the Rays. It's an easy thing to do, and believe you me, you won't be the only one.
