The Rays have a fever .... and the only prescription is ....

.... more cowbell!

The Devil Rays are hosting the Yankees tonight, and to celebrate their 10th anniversary, they are giving away .... umm ... 10th season commemorative cowbells, sponsored by dairy farming company T.G. Lee.

Christopher Walken did not throw out the first pitch. (Former Buccaneer QB Brian Griese got that honor. Perhaps the Rays thought it appropriate given how often Griese got his bell rung during his two seasons behind that Tampa offensive line?)

Blue Oyster Cult apparently has nothing to do with the Rays, or the state of Florida for that matter, given their current tour schedule.

There's nothing I associate more with the Gulf Coast of Florida than dairy farming.

The echoing sound of 40,000 fans banging on cowbells in a domed stadium is probably hazardous to people who have metal plates in their heads. Like Don Zimmer.

2 40,000? The Rays are only doing this for one game, not six.

I have to figure free cowbells bring out a big crowd. They'll be driving in from all over the South. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The fans of the Vermont Frost Heaves (a minor league basketball team, and the only pro team in that small cow-glutted state) employed a many-cowbelled attack throughout this their first season, which ended recently with an ABA title:

Frost Heaves? That name won out over the Vermont Iced Dung? I can't believe it.
