Rays return favor by blowing out Padres
After giving up 13 runs to San Diego in a lopsided series-opening loss, Tampa Bay returned the favor with an 11-4 win over the visiting Padres on Saturday afternoon.

Looking forward: September in the arts
After a long, stultifying summer of too much heat, humidity and a lack of entertainment choices, Tampa Bay comes roaring back in September with one of the most densely-packed concert calendars of the year. The Florida Orchestra and St. Pete Opera return this month, too. Let’s start with the concerts,...

Football Recap: Berkeley Prep picks up fifth straight win at home
There's no place like home for Berkeley Prep, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They walked away with a 28-21 victory over the Booker Tornadoes on Friday. Given the Buccaneers' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Tornadoes are ranked 101st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Junior Caminero meets his hero — SD 13, TB 5
As you can tell from the headline, this was a game worth missing — and lets be honest, most of us probably did because the game was broadcast on AppleTV... The only worthwhile highlight from this game happened beforehand, when the future of Rays baseball — Junior Caminero — got to meet his childhood hero, third baseman Manny Machado:
Dobber’s Offseason Fantasy Grades – Tampa Bay Lightning
For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of fantasy hockey both for the season ahead as well as the foreseeable future. Offensively, will the team perform? Are there plenty of depth options worthy of owning in keeper leagues? What about over the next two or three years? These questions are what I take into consideration when looking at the depth chart and the player potential on that depth chart.
Football Game Recap: Booker Comes Up Short
If Booker was feeling good off their 46-0 takedown of Lely last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Booker Tornadoes fell 28-21 to the Berkeley Prep Buccaneers on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Tornadoes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 101st, while the Buccaneers are ranked 13th).
