ST . PETERSBURG, Fla. — You know something? It turns out they can get pretty loud at Tropicana Field when there are … well, people in here. They actually had 20,390 in the house Wednesday night. This is what qualifies as turnaway business at The Trop, even in a pennant race.
(They drew under 9,000 Monday night, which looks like a typo but was actually a modest exaggeration, probably. And the Red Sox were in town, usually a big draw in times when they haven’t been mathematically eliminated. And the Rays are very much in a postseason drive.
