Neal, the brooms have been needed in quite a few series this season.....Red Sox X2, White Sox, Cubs, Angels, Blue Jays.
The Rays encountered the hardest schedule in baseball, yet they have the best record. The team really doesn't have any holes....PLUS, no one has hit well yet. Once the team starts hitting, boy, that could be scary.
I think they are going to be good for years. Their team is sooo young and the minors are loaded with talent, so get used to what you are seeing.
I think it's funny hearing all the people talk about fan support and the attendance "if" we were to host a playoff game.....if this did happen, the Trop would be sold out for every game and it would be rocking in there.
I called one of my friends last night to see if he was watching the comeback....he was at the game and I couldn't even hear him, nor him hear me. This usually didn't happen, sure you had to strain to have a good conversation, but it could be done.....well, not last night. You could hear it on TV and hearing it through my phone re-enforced the notion....PEOPLE ARE EXCITED. Heck, I became teary-eyed watching Longoria hit that double to give them the lead last night.
I was really thinking/hoping for a wild card this season, but I guess I set my sights to low!
BTW, if and when they bring up Price, I really hope it's out of the pen. They could use a good lefty and he could be one of the best. They've been rumored to be interested in Fuentes, but why trade for him when the already have a better version to help????
