Rays superfan bringing the crazy
Red Sox Monster —
Not that we need another sign, but Big League Stew makes a good point about the growth of Tampa Bay Rays fans this season: You know a team has arrived when it has a superfan... and he doesn't seem like the lone idiot screaming from the bleachers. Video proof, from last night's Sox-Rays game: Yes, that's something you'd probably expect to see from the home fans in Yankee Stadium... or Fenway Park, to be honest. But the Cowboy Kid, as he calls himself, is legit: ...

... in home attendance. Their arrival has truly been signaled now that they have signature bandwagon dipshit fans to call their own. Sure to be the most prominent is the Cowbell Kid, who possesses the hair of Marge Simpson and the grammar of a Yahoo! commenter. What's with the question mark on the Red Sox Nation banner? Are you not sure that's who you want to destroy? And the quotation marks in "America's 'NEW' TEAM'"? Are those meant to be sarcastiquotes?

We’ve Found the Rays Secret Weapon… The Cowbell Kid
Hail Mary Jane —
... this guy does is riles up all the fans around the team. It’s taken him a while to work his magic but now he’s got the team playing like contenders. The only thing that makes me very angry is he’s not actually a kid. I feel duped.

... diehards at each home game. But who am I to make fun of an adolescent fan base? I root for the Nationals . (That would be the Major League Baseball team based in D.C., FYI. There are people here in North Carolina that honestly have no clue who the Nationals are.) (H/T: Big League Stew )

... after the jump, an interview with the Cowbell Kid, who has been a fan since the beginning of "Ray's time". Pretty convenient language if you ask me. I kid, of course.
