In the heat of a pennant chase in late September the Tampa Bay Rays have added a final piece to the championship puzzle. No, they haven't added another left-hander out of the pen, nor another free swinging lefty out of the dugout. The Rays have added---wait for it--DJ KITTY! Huh?
That's right. The Rays now have a cat that appears on the jumbo tron to fire up fans much like a rally monkey. Now, I am not sure which is more pathetic; (1) the fact that the Ray's fans need to be fired up to back their team during a pennant chase or (2) the fact that the Rays fans actually respond to DJ Kitty.
I love the Rays and hope they win it all, but the Yankees fans would never respond to a DJ Kitty. Moreover, the Bronx media group would never even attempt this gimmick. C'mon Rays, if you're going to be BIGTIME ya gotta get with the program. You already play in a tent, no need to add to the carnival atmosphere.
