Dear sports community:

1. Indoor, air-conditioned baseball stadiums with artificial turf are not luxurious and comfortable, they are an affront to god. Have we not learned yet that baseball is one of those things that modern science is not helping?

2. The Rays are not a bad team. Nor are they a good team. They don't have any particular reputation whatsoever. Know what they are? A ten-year-old franchise. By contrast, the Philadelphia Phillies are a 125-year-old team. Please stop trying to legitimately compare 10 years of history to 125 years.

3. Game 1, top of the first, Phils are up 2-0. GO PHILLIES!
