Thanks RH I will have a look - are they any good ??

Baseball season is in full swing (pun intended) Hope you get to see a better team than the Devil Rays, though. (I'm talking Tampa Bay..not Tampa)

The only professional football team in Tampa Bay is the Buccaneers. Season doesn't start for another month. Might catch a preseason game though.

Never heard of the Rowdies.

Hope you have a terrific time, Gord. Wish I lived in Florida so you could visit. Love to hear your accent.

They have a new coach this year, so there may be some re-building. They're loaded with talent though.

Their first preseason game isn't until August 12th though, so it may be too late for you.

Basketball team is the Miami Heat. It doesn't start till fall. Sorry. You're kinda stuck with just baseball right now.

Cheers for that - they are playing the Yankees this Friday night - will try and get tickets or maybe wait for Baltimore the following week.

Will look forward to it - or will I struggle to get tickets

I think you can get them online under tickets. I know on the Cubs web site you can and they tell you the section they are in before you commit. Might be different on the Devil Rays site, but worth a try.

Thought so - your location tab confused me for an instance. You should just get over for a trip- the flights are not too bad , you can get good deals .

You got good friends here ?

Yes you can buy online - and through ticketmaster. I will have a think tonight about what game to see, I am there for over two weeks so I will have time to see at least one.

Will have to look up the rules as I have little idea -

will get my jargon - bases loaded and pitcher throws a slow curve ball - !!

I have Lit friends there. I've never met any of them in real life. Just on the phone or chatting online.

I have a thing about accents. British ones. I've always said that if I came to visit, you guys would never get rid of me.

If you want to see a good team play, go see the Yankees.

(That was sort of hard to say)

I see - you would have a blast - it is not too bad here. I have travelled a bit in the states and I must admit the accent has done me no harm what so ever

well you never know -

Well, the Cubs aren't playing the Devil Rays while Gord is in town, so I guess he will have to settle for a good team.

British accents are panty drenchers. I was in a computer store a couple weeks ago and the guy working there started talking to a customer behind me. It was like turning on a faucet inside my jeans. His accent was almost identical to Starblaydes.

Yea..I'm easy. I know.

where are the cubs from ? I suppose I just want to savour the atmosphere - have a few beers and at least see what is is all about -

so I dont suppose the teams invloved will really mater !

LMAO - well if you put it like that !!

As I have a half scottish / half english accent with a bit of south african thrown in for good measure !!

so it is not your typical english accent

 

[chanaud]

Gord,

The Rowdies team you are referring to is a soccer team or what you refer to as football. Btw, I'm a huge Featherstone Rovers fan!

You won't have any problems getting tickets to a Devil Rays game. Their attendance has been poor hence the bankruptcy rumors. You are in luck though if the Yankess will be playing the same time you are here. You will see that the stands will be filled with more Yankee fans than Devil Rays fans. George Steinbrenner, the owner has a huge impact in Tampa due to the fact he owns half the city and the Yankess hold their spring training camp in Tampa. J

Just a quick note, although the Devil Rays belong to Tampa Bay, their stadium is in St. Petersburg. So, don't get confused when you see the 'Welcome to St. Petersburg' sign.

Enjoy your visit!

You're such a tease. You know that don't you? Flaunting that accent around.

You Brits are bad for me.
