Tampa Bay Rays Wild Card Thread

**rsnnh12** · 09-10-11, 09:13 PM

The Sox are playing like shit

Too many injuries to the starting pitchers, with no depth behind them. Unless Lester can pitch every 4th game or our offense turns it up, we're in trouble

i guess i should have titled this "red sox rally thread"

That was Before Salty and Ellsbury went back to Back off your Closer.............................. If you dont sweep the Redsox this weekend, no chance, Redsox lose tonight, Lester puts out the Fire tomorrow and beats shields Easily, Redsox Win tonight, Tomorrow is anyones game!

oh and im not a rays fan (who is?) but i just see what's happening here

Would be Terry Francona's last stand if so. Blow an 8 game lead, with a $200 million team.... "You're outta here".

**jjgold** · 09-12-11, 07:32 AM

Goes to show you do not need big names to win in MLB
I think they can do it

**lunchbawks** · 09-12-11, 07:43 AM

Rays aren't even 20 games over .500

Not going to happen, but i still like the Rays to win tonight

I just love when people post in a gambling with a picture of their favorite team and then act like complete homers.

Tampa should be winning they have a better team right now. Not sure why anyone is surprised here.

They don't have three MVP candidates and the surprise is the red sox going in the tank more than anything

Four game sweep is unlikely but don't forget when the yanks pulled off a five gamer to effectively end the sox season in 2006. If only manny was around to drag everyone down this year

If rays win tomorrow Friday night will be epic.

**InTheDrink** · 09-18-11, 04:37 PM

Nothing like having a big game and having to go to Wakefield for the W

Rays play the yanks 2x and the jays

Sawx play the o's 2x and the yanks

hopefully the yanks will tank vs. the rays

**InTheDrink** · 09-26-11, 11:34 PM

2 game season...maybe 3

orioles playing meaningful games for the first time all year....yanks resting everyone....maybe they can trot El Duque out there one time

**hawley** · 09-26-11, 11:37 PM

Cant wait for the next few days.

Rays will win theirs IMO, just depends on what the Red Sox can produce.

**InTheDrink** · 09-26-11, 11:42 PM

agreed hawley...best time of the year

sox have bedard tomorrow and lester on 3 days rest

and if they go to a playoff then what...lackey or wakefield on 3 days rest?

would they dare toss buchholz out there?

**thebestthereis** · 09-27-11, 07:50 AM

at this point you cannot say lackey isn't just as good an option as anyone, nobody else has done squat.

**forloveofthegame** · 09-27-11, 10:46 AM

**jjgold** · 09-27-11, 11:28 AM

Looks pretty good they will win last 2 games as yanks playing scrubs

Boston should lose one

**Snowball** · 09-27-11, 11:38 AM

there could very well be a tiebreaker game.

even if the Yankees throw 2 games to Tampa, RS can win 2 over Baltimore.

**soxwin** · 09-27-11, 11:56 AM

Sox pitching has been abysmal for entire September. Beckett and Lester have been average at best. 3-5 starters have been brutal. Offense has been pretty good all month. Playing with 2 hands around your throat isn't the way to win games.

Rays have better pitching 1-5 than anybody save for the Phillies. Pitching will always keep you in it. That being said the Rays are very fortunate to be in the position they are in. They have taken advantage of the opportunity no doubt about it.

Maddon in good position for MGR of he year if they make the playoffs.

**BGS 9.5** · 09-27-11, 11:59 AM

I am a huge Tigers fan, so I would kinda like to see Boston finish this off so we play a team that has been reeling. I like TB though, also.

**forloveofthegame** · 09-28-11, 09:48 PM

STRETCHHHHHH!!!!!!!
