Tampa’s Randy Domingo, a self-described Tampa Bay Rays fan, nearly by no means attends video games for various causes, primarily that the video games are performed all the best way over in St. Petersburg and that indoor baseball is an abomination, finds himself at a loss for excuses now that the staff has introduced plans to play their 2025 house schedule at George M. Steinbrenner Area in Tampa.
“That’s like quarter-hour from my housea,” he exclaimed upon discovering out. “Fuck.”
The staff introduced Thursday that the 11k seat house of the New York Yankees spring coaching video games and their Class-A minor league affiliate the Tampa Tarpons common season was chosen as the perfect accessible choice within the wake of harm from Hurricane Milton that rendered Tropicana Area unusable.
”Did they even attempt to see if video games may very well be performed at Amalie Enviornment or the Yuengling Heart? Neither of these locations are appropriate for baseball they usually’re each somewhat farther away from my home, however nonetheless”, he stated. “The Savannah Bananas are taking part in a sport at Raymond James Stadium and that isn’t appropriate for baseball both, though it is open air which is gross, err, I imply, which is the best way baseball is meant to be performed.”
“I imply, yay, nice. It’s a dream come true,” stated Domingo glumly, earlier than brightening up and asking, “However received’t there be rain delays and postponements as a consequence of taking part in open air?”
Sure, there’ll. Over the past 10 seasons, the Tarpons have averaged 6.4 postponements yearly. And on events when it isn’t raining, it will likely be highly regarded as a result of it’s open air in Florida. It is going to even be sizzling when it’s raining due to that very same motive.
Recent out of causes to not attend video games with out wanting like a complete hypocrite, Domingo sighed and stated, “I assume I’m going to some Rays video games this 12 months.”
“Fuck,” he added.
