And the temperature in St. Pete is ...

Two things:

Craig Monroe just fouled a ball over the stands and into the parking lot, and the PA played the sound of a car alarm. Get it? The ball hit a car and set off the alarm.

OK, it got a big laugh from the near capacity crowd, proving Midwesterners are so friendly they’ll laugh at anything.

Secondly, they just announced the temperature here in Fort Myers, which is 72, and in Minneapolis, which is a bit colder. And there is an inch of snow on the ground.

Now, when the Rays train in Port Charlotte next season, will they announce the temperatures in the two cities joined by the Rays? Port Charlotte and St. Pete.

If so, it would sound like this:

The temperature here in Port Charlotte is 72, and in St. Pete, it’s 71.
