Tampa Bay Rays/Tipping

Let us first talk about the Rays. The bull pin let the team down again. Nieman had pitched 7 great innings. He left with a 3-1 lead. Granted the relief corps did it yesterday but more oftain than not they have messed up a nice game. They traded Kazmir for who I can't find out. They have 17 very important games coming up with New York, Bostan and Detroit again. I notice Upton got two hits today, whoppee. The way he runs out grounders or long fly balls Billy Martin, rest his soul, whould have his ass. I recall a quote from Don Drysdale regarding Sandy Koufax. Sandy pitched one of his no hitters, Drysdale was hurt and wasn't there. However, when he was told about the no hitter, he asked if Sandy won. In those days the Dodgers offense wasn't to good. But the Rays offense is good. But they need a big time closer and sit up man. Now folks about tipping cab driver.s. I took this person and his wife to the airport and he was from out of state and we got into a discussion about tipping. He said that the fare on the meter should be good enough, Oh my here we go. I asked him he tipped the waiter or waitress when he goes to a resturant. He said sure. I asked him why, they don't cook the food all they do is bring it to your table. Now with a cab driver you and your wife and maybe a couple of kids are going to the airport to see Grandma and Grandpa. You put your life and the life of your wife and children in the cab drivers hands. You are hoping that he is a safe driver. Don't you think you should award him for getting you there in one piece. The meter amount is for the car and gas. Think about that folks. Be careful out there
