      <title>DRays Bay Makes a Splash</title>
      <description>&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/tam&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 80px; height: 112px;&quot; src=&quot;http://ps.theport.com/blogs/portblogs/u/s/e/r/userfiles/4/F/E/E/4FEE53DF-00B2-473A-A2E9-5295FF33BD4F/images/20070504.4923738.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/tam&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Tampa Bay&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; has never finished better than fourth in the &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;AL&amp;nbsp;East&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; since the team's inception in 1998. But rest assured the team is number one with Rays' fans...and there are more of them than you might suspect. &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.draysbay.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.draysbay.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;DRays&amp;nbsp;Bay&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt; is where they swim in the current of Tampa Bay news and blog posts. With so many good young players, the Rays future looks bright. As for the present? Rather remarkable, because heading into the mid August the team still holds a slim lead in the AL East. Rays' fans and &lt;em&gt;DRays Bay&lt;/em&gt; have a lot to cheer about these days.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>Yankee Fans Meet at Pinstripe Alley</title>
      <description>&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 100px; height: 100px;&quot; src=&quot;http://ps.theport.com/blogs/portblogs/u/s/e/r/userfiles/4/F/E/E/4FEE53DF-00B2-473A-A2E9-5295FF33BD4F/images/20070802.1628747.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;If you want the real skinny on the Yankees, pay a visit to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pinstripealley.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pinstripe&amp;nbsp;Alley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt; and read the latest posts. &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/users/John%20Amato&quot;&gt;John&amp;nbsp;Amato&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.pinstripealley.com/user/jscape2000&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/users/anaconda&quot;&gt;anaconda&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;and
crew keep things lively before and after every game with stats, recaps and opinion you won't find anywhere else. New York is a clear third in the AL East, but they now head out on the road still trailing the surprising Rays by 5.5 games. Yet Pinstripe Alley fans know there is a lot of baseball left, including six games each against &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/tam&quot;&gt;Tampa&amp;nbsp;Bay&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/bos&quot;&gt;Boston&lt;/a&gt;. At this stage, anything can happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;

      <title>D'Backs Fans Dig AZ Snakepit</title>
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://ps.theport.com/blogs/portblogs/u/s/e/r/userfiles/4/F/E/E/4FEE53DF-00B2-473A-A2E9-5295FF33BD4F/images/20071004.1402894.gif&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;95&quot; hspace=&quot;6&quot; width=&quot;85&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;If you like your baseball news with a little bite to it, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.azsnakepit.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;AZ Snakepit&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;rikes a fine balance between reporting and opinion. Mainstream media just can't match the personality of blogmaster &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot; href=&quot;http://azsnakepit@gmail.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jim&amp;nbsp;McLennan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; and his members. Will the D'Backs make a big move prior to the July 31 trading deadline? Well, Arizona fans know where to go to hear about it first. Whether the team's in last or first (like they are now), &lt;em&gt;AZ Snakepit&lt;/em&gt; tracks the wild, wild NL West every day of the season.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/span&gt;
