pitchers and catchers have reported
I don’t care if this is the first season ever the Rays are expected to break .500. I don’t care that they finally have a decent bullpen. And I don’t care that they got rid of Elijah Dukes and Delmon Young (although who’s gonna throw bats at their baby mommas now?). What I REALLY care about is the great unanswered question going into the season, are the Rays supposed to be fish or sunshine? Maybe one of these fine Rays blogs has the answer…
RAYS INDEXRI has set the bar for excellence among Tampa Bay sports blogs (admittedly a bit of a niche market). From the Cork Board, to the Rays Index Confidence Graph, to the almost daily Devil Rays Webtopia, to the schwarmy know-it-allness projected by its writer Rays Index is worth five minutes of your day. It’s only a matter of time before Cork Gaines is picked up by a bigger outlet.
The grandaddy of Rays blogs, no other Rays site is updated as frequently as the misnamed DRays Bay. The guys at DRays Bay have more access to Rays management than any other site, a fact they have little trouble flaunting in your face. So packed full of information it almost hurts to read the blog.
For whatever reason the MLB blogs are light years ahead of any other sports blogs and consistently provide some of the best reading out there. Rays of Light, the red-headed step child of Rays blogs, is no exception. Of interest are the player spotlights that are running now.
Other Sites Worth Checking Out
Rays Anatomy - Rays Anatomy didn’t make it into the top grouping but not because of lack of quality (the answer we’re looking for is lack of posting).
Rays UltraMega Preview - We’re still waiting on Part 3 of Manny Stiles’ 3 Part Preview of the Rays but in the interim there is more to digest here than any other Rays preview. For those that remember him, Manny Stiles ran a Rays blog last year after Rays prez Matthew Silverman donated $1,535 to AIDS research.
RaysBB.com - The Rays message board for all your messaging board needs.
The Heater and The Rays Report - The official Rays blogs from the St Pete Times and Tampa Trib respectively. The place to go for the access most other Rays blogs don’t have.

Thanks for including Rays Anatomy in your report. We are extremely new as compared to some of the others you mention, so I’m working hard trying to break through in the Rays market.
I agree, I need to post more, so that’s why I’ve added some help. Keep checking us out, we are only going to get better as a site for Rays coverage. Thanks again for mentioning us.
