ST. PETERSBURG — Pop singer Avril Lavigne might not be asked to do another concert series for the Rays — at least unless she promises to clean up her language.
After experiencing a dead microphone to begin her performance Saturday night, Lavigne reacted to a chorus of boos by peppering the crowd with a series of obscenities, reminding her audience technical glitches happen during a live concert "at a baseball stadium."
After the concert, Rays public address announcer Rusty Kath apologized to the Tropicana Field crowd of 24,717 — many of them families with children — that remained for the show for the foul language.
"That's not what the Tampa Bay Rays are about,'' Kath said.

Avril Lavigne was all smiles when she through out the first pitch before last night's Tampa Bay Rays game, but she lobbed a few four-letter words at the crowd when a technical glitch messed with her post-game concert.
According to local reports, Avril's mic didn't work at the start of her show ... and she responded to the cavalcade of boos by yelling obscenities at crowd.
Things were apparently so bad, the public address announcer got on the horn afterward and apologized to the crowd, saying, "That's not what the Tampa Bay Rays are about."
Calls to Lavigne's rep were not returned.
