• People being tossed out right and left. Haven't seen anything like this at the trop before. (Mark Mcdaniel)
• Sign in left field: "Everybody loves a B.J." (Rommie Johnson)
• Philly fan is about to get ejected. Is it like this in every section? (Rommie Johnson)
• Already two guys tossed out of our section. At this point, security is punching 'em out faster than Kazmir. (Rommie Johnson)
• Drunk guy behind me: "Every time I pee, the Rays win." Really? Every time? So you only used the restroom 96 times in the past 6 months? (Rommie Johnson)
• Phillies fans in front of us have security involved over 'taunting' that happened 2 innings ago. Do they know there's a baseball game? (Rommie Johnson)
• Phillies fan in front of me is bickering incessantly with the Rays fan behind me. Only the second inning. Wonderful. (Rommie Johnson)
• OK, Upton's gun got the crowd revved up again. (Rommie Johnson)
• Kazmir's so deliberate, he sucks the life out of the crowd. You could nod off between pitches. All the cowbells were giving me a headache anyway. (Rommie Johnson)
• I look forward to the later innings, when fans only have enough energy left to act obnoxious about plays that actually matter. (Rommie Johnson)
• 8:51 -first Phillies fan ejection. (Jeff Houck)
• Everything they say about phillies fans is absolutely true. (Jeff Houck)
• Huge number of Phillies fans in left field. Very loud after that 1st inning homer. Rays fans not exactly handling it with composure. (Rommie Johnson)
• Sign: Aki Bay USA (Jeff Houck)
• Phillies fans in front of us and to our right. Behind us? A guy in a Mets jersey. Go figure. (Rommie Johnson)
• Boomer just entered the ESPN set in left field to major fanfare. His ego came in a minute later. Sadly, no women nearby are wearing leather. (Rommie Johnson)
• Couple in front of me taking photos of her pregnant belly at the World Series. The unborn child may be older than David Price. (Rommie Johnson)
• Sign in left field: "Is this heaven? No, it's the World Series" (Rommie Johnson)
• Bathroom lines already insane. Apparently some people enjoy consuming beverages before the game. (Rommie Johnson)
• Sign in 3rd deck: Rays of our lives. (Jeff Houck)
• Just realized I'm sitting 20 feet from Peter Gammons. (Rommie Johnson)
• The number of David Price jerseys in the stands is fairly stunning. I won't use the b-word, though. (Rommie Johnson)
• Joe Redner's in the house. (Rommie Johnson)
• Fans taking lots of snapshots as teams wrap up bp. (Mary Shedden)
• Kinda funny: There's a heck of a lot of Bucs-themed tailgating paraphernalia out in the parking lot. (Rommie Johnson)
