Tampa History - Dime Cabs
2008-07-22 04:31:00 Using Google Scholar, I came across this interesting little article about dime cabs FROM TROLLEYS TO BUSES AND IN BETWEEN by Robert Sims from the USF Library. "Picture, if you will ... It is 7:30 a.m., of awork-day and you are due at yourdowntown Tampa office in one halfhour. Outside the day has dawned uglyand gray; a hard rain is pelting down.You step to your telephone, dial, andpresently are answered by a cheery"Economy Cab, good morning." Yourorder for a cab to drive you downtown istaken and within five minutes a latemodel Chevrolet taxi pulls into yourdriveway as close to your front door aspossible so that you may encounter nomore rain than necessary. Twopassengers are in the rear seat, you takethe front. The driver heads downtownand two more passengers are picked up.Fifteen minutes after leaving your homethe cab stops in front of your officebuilding. The rain has stopped; it?s goingto be a nice day after all. You hand thedriver a DIME, and he cheerfully thanksyou.

Garza, Navarro scuffle in Tampa dugout
2008-06-09 17:06:00 Now the Tampa Bay Rays are fighting among themselves.Rays starting pitcher Matt Garza and catcher Dioner Navarro had to be separated in the dugout — minutes after an angry confrontation on the mound — in a 6-3 loss at Texas yesterday in which Tampa Bay missed a chance for its first series sweep on the road this season. "This wasn't pretty today. It was a bad day all around," leftfielder Carl Crawford said."It was nothing, in-house kind of stuff, things that happen on occasion and we took care of it," manager Joe Maddon insisted, without being specific. "It was shoving, that was it. It's been taken care of."After Rangers No. 9 hitter German Duran hit a two-run homer for a 3-0 lead in the fourth, Garza and Navarro had a heated exchange on the mound, sticking their gloves into each other's face. Pitching coach Jim Hickey pushed Navarro back toward the plate when he visited the mound. When the inning ended, Garza approached Navarro in the dugout. Television cameras caught...

Tampa Bay Hardware
2008-06-09 01:28:00 Today Seminole heights lost a neighborhood institution as a 3 alarm fire claimed Tampa Bay Hardware at 55oo N. Nebraska. The fire closed Nebraska Avenue and 9th Street for several hours. The store property extends from Nebraska to 9th St. bordering the Hampton Terrace Historic District.Tampa Bay Hardware was the oldest continuous hardware store in Tampa. A part of the neighborhood since 1941, the store had continued to operate in a very different environment of big box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. It outlasted some chain stores like Sears hardware that came and went. While not flashy or modern, it was convenient. Over the years, they have been reliable for that quick trip to get a part or two when I just didn't have time to wait in line at Home Depot.The store is totally destroyed, with today's economics, the question will become will they rebuild? If not, what will take its place on the site.

Red Sox-Tampa a rivalry that is heating up
2008-06-05 13:20:00 It used to be the mercury of a series against the Tampa Bay Rays had little or no movement on the Red Sox Nation thermometer. The best thing about such a series was that it gave Red Sox fans an excuse to fly to Florida and take in a game at Tropicana Field, where it was easy to get tickets. Or when the Rays came to Boston, it was a chance for season ticket-holders to sell their seats to folks who normally couldn't get to a game otherwise. Last night in a 5-1 win that vaulted the Sox over Tampa Bay and into first place, emotions flared. The Rays accused Coco Crisp of trying to hurt second baseman Akinori Iwamura with a slide on an unsuccessful steal in the eighth inning. Crisp claimed he had injured his thumb on what he called a "shady" play by shortstop Jason Bartlett, who blocked the bag with his knee when Crisp stole second in the sixth."I was not pleased with the slide," said Rays manager Joe Maddon, who jawed from the mound at Crisp in the Sox dugout during a pitching change la...

Boston, Beckett Breeze...Red Sox 5 Tampa Bay 1
2008-06-05 11:35:00 Josh Beckett and the Boston bullpen made it look easy Wednesday night at Fenway Park with a 5-1 thumping of the formally first place Tampa Bay Rays. The Red Sox, with the victory, vaulted into first place ahead of the Florida team. They just refuse to lose at home. Tonight they go for the sweep, with Jon Lester facing James Shields. Beckett, who ran his record to 6-4, breezed through the first six innings although he was not quite as sharp as we're all used to. He slipped during a sixth inning delivery but struck out the batter with the very next pitch after a mini-conference at the mound. We do not need to add to the bulging disabled list, although Coco Crisp injured his thumb trying to slide into a knee-blocked second base. He'll be OK for tonight, we have to hope. Here's what the Captain had to say of his battery partner..."His location is getting better," said Varitek, who attributed Beckett's comparatively slow start this season to missing most of spring training because of...

Sox Overpower Rays...Boston 7 Tampa Bay 4
2008-06-04 11:39:00 The Boston Red Sox just do not seem to lose these days while playing at Fenway Park. After Tuesday night's 7-4 triumph over the first place Tampa Bay Rays, their home record is an AMAZING 22-5. Not bad, not bad at all. It was Justin Masterson who took Matsuzaka's turn in the rotation, and he was good, not as good as his two previous starts but good enough to earn his second victory. He went six innings, giving up four runs on six hits while walking only two. Skipper Terry Francona had this to say about his young star hurler...?I think he enjoys pitching, I don?t think this atmosphere has gotten out ahead of him or anything. He just likes to pitch. I said before the game Masterson?s pitching and we really didn?t give it a second thought, and I meant that as a compliment. He goes up and we expect him to give us a good ballgame, and he did that.? After Justin's 91 pitches took him through that first six, it was the bullpen's turn to shine. First up was Little Manny Delcarmen, who h...

Tampa Inshore Grouper Fishing
2008-06-02 23:23:00 Conventional wisdom says you need a boat for grouper fishing. And, yes, the bite is strong now in 70′ to 140′. But, it’s also good standing on the Merry Pier on 8th Avenue in St. Pete Beach. Of course, there were plently of snapper and mackerel around, even a few sheepshead. But the highlight this weekend was grouper: There were big greenbacks- and I mean BIG, like 6″-7″- that were popping on the surface soon after sunrise. Although they were scattered, it was possible to get a few with a sabiki. And they were just the ticket for big grouper, like the 23″ and 24″ pair pictured above. Sunday’s fish fry brought over a dozen guests, who dined on blackened grouper fillets, panko crusted deep fried grouper fingers, and a grouper-peppers-onion-sausage creation, along with salad, veggies and pasta. Yum- gotta love fresh grouper! Â

Poison Dart DJ’s Murdered in Tampa Bay area
2008-05-31 05:43:00 Poison Dart DJ’s Antone “Tony Montana”Geargo-Neely (some reports are that he was not part of Poison Dart, but had his own sound system), Michael “Chris Rock” Rottigan, and their friend Kevin “Bumba Blaze” Jordache Webster were murdered last Saturday, in what appears to be a senseless act of retaliation, from an incident which occurred the previous weekend. Around 2:40 am on Saturday, May 24th police were called out to The Thunderbird Bar, where Poison Dart reportedly played every Friday night, due to a noise complaint. Once police arrived on the scene they found Antone Geargo Neely and Kevin Jordache Webster dead on the scene, Michael Rottigan died later at an area hospital, all three men were the victims of gunshot wounds. Police immediately suspected that the three were specifically targeted, because the club had at least 300 patrons and no one else was injured during the brutal crime. Investigators have identified and issued a warrant fo...

Tampa Bay Bucs Receiving Corps as fragile as ever?

This is getting ridiculous The Bucs have invited old man Eric Moulds, old man Eddie Kennison, and no-name Bryan Gilmore to become Tampa Bay Buc Wide Receivers... eh. This doesnt bode well for the current guys on the roster. Dexter Jackson will certainly bring some excitement to the table, but who else will show up? Clayton? Stovall? Bryant? At least Galloway and Hilliard will come to play It's insanely early, but bringing in these three guys for looks doesnt exude confidence in one's current corps of Receivers, yikes...
