Seriously, Tampa? SERIOUSLY?

That is so fucking stupid. I hate the Yankees, but don't think it doesn't cloud my vision on this. You don't think there are WORSE things at a ballpark than a Yankees Suck shirt?

Really?

REALLY?

Hey, we keep it classy here.

crfische

that's seriously one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in awhile. Good freaking god.

Tampa is weird. And it's entirely possible there are more Yankees fans there than Rays fans. It is pretty stupid that they kicked him out though. The shirt wasn't graphic or anything.

vallyhoo

shut up

I think iit was the FL hockey team that did that same thing up here in Boston.  They got all pissy about these "fact" signs that the rink had put up; nothing offensive just silly smack talk.  The Garden was forced to take them down.

Sounds to me like FL fans/players are a bunch of whiners.

Edited For spelling

I've seen way worse shirts at Red Sox games.  And I am a Sox fan, who hates the Yankees.

KJ, I heard about that.

mica178

I'm irriated at my soon-to-be home city.  WTF, Rays?

crfische

VALLY.

YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT MEOW.

And yes, for serious. I've seen WAAAAYYY worsem things at ball games! Yankees suck is kick outable?

baystateapple

I'm already not a huge Tampa fan (sorry Mica), but up until this point my dislike was only towards their hockey team.

I used to root for Tampa Bay when the Sox didn't make the playoffs.  But I'm not a fan of this development.

I too am a Sox fan and have seen way worse.

Smack talk like that is just a part of sports rivalries.  People really need to lighten up.

crfische

No, they aren't classy enough to swallow.

I wonder if my nephew will get kicked out of Target Field when he arrives wearing the onesies I bought him.

And.... welcome back fishy!

HIYA, MISSY! ♥

AdeleDazeem

Will they kick out the fans who actually yell "You suck," too?  Or is this restricted to t-shirts only?  I want to be sure...

doctabroccoli

Dude, when Manny Ramirez used to come to Cleveland with the Red Sox, there would be a CONSTANT "Manny Sucks" cheer coming from left field (where he played) all. the. time.  No one ever got booted for it.

RobotLegs

If Tampa ever comes to Colorado, I'm wearing my Tampa Bay Sucks shirt.

Even though I used to live there, Tampa really does suck.  SORRY TAMPA PEEPS.

doctabroccoli

Btw, Fishy, did you watch Bones yet?  Did ya?

mica178

It's okay, Bay.  

I thought smack-talk was part of sports?  

crfische

I haven't, veggie!! This weekend, hopefully!!

And RIGHT!? Everyone smack talks in baseball.

Get your stick out of your ass, tampa.

baystateapple

It is!  Without friendly rivalry, it wouldn't be fun at all.

One of my coworkers is a Yankees fan.  The season wouldn't be as fun without us completely talking smack every single day here at work.  I look forward to it.

You must report back.  Either here or on bookface :).

Stackeye210

Hey guys, Tampa does not suck between July 1-8.  IT DOES NOT SUCK AT ALL THEN!!!!!  So hush your mouths.

Now I want a shirt that says Tampa Sucks. It's completely not sports related, but I have an irrational hatred of Tampa. Probably because the vast majority of Tampa natives I met in college were huge douchers.

Again, sorry Tampa people. I like all the Tampa people on here. Just not any of the ones I went to school with.

AdeleDazeem

Because we're talking baseball...

I the Phillies.

In particular this morning, I Wilson Valdez - a utility player who pitched the 19th inning last night and earned the win, on top of his general awesomeness of filling in for both Chase and Jimmy and Placido.

adamar15

This is starting to make me sad.  A lot of Tampa is stupid, but I promise we're not ALL idiots. 

aragx6

I can't believe they're tossing people out of the games -- for a good team they have heinous attendance numbers.

I'm not sure they understand how important a rivalry is for ticket sales -- you've got to get people excited about the game!

And the fact that they are unable and/or unwilling to directly lay out how the shirt violates their policy is pathetic.

** runs out of the room and cries for 3 seconds **

Okay, I'm better now.  :P

Agreed.  And at Fenway - if you're not wearing a Sox shirt, it's practically required to wear a Yankees Suck shirt - even if they aren't playing.

It's just part of the game.
