Are the Rays up next in ‘Champa Bay’?

Where will the next sports championship come from for “Champa Bay”?

Don’t expect it from the Buccaneers anytime soon. Not until they get the quarterback question answered.

The Lightning? After three straight Stanley Cup Final appearances, the Bolts were booted in the first round of the playoffs. There is work to do there.

So, the Rays then? They’re heading for a fifth straight playoff appearance. The Rays hold baseball’s best home record. It’s early still, but despite all the noise around a new stadium (again) and rumors of new owners, October could turn out to be special in St. Pete.
