There is a new sign hanging on the wall above the doors to the Rays clubhouse. It asks:
“What’s important now?”
The sign replaces last year’s slogan of “‘09 > ‘08,” which, when translated, meant 2009 was going to be better than 2008.
Of course, we know what happened in 2008. The Rays turned “9 = 8” into a championship season.
We also know what happened in ‘09. It wasn’t > than ‘08.
