......The Tampa Bay Rays are good. Like, no really this team is good.
First place good. In August.
4 games ahead of the Red Sox (9 games ahead of the Yankees).
Where did this team come from? I can't exactly answer that, but I know that I am thrilled that someone else in the AL East has stepped up.
The Rays have taken their mixture of youthful exuberance (5th youngest team in the majors)and great pitching to become the feel-good story of this season.
They might hit a little snag in the next week. Despite the injuries, the Rays are equipped to stay on top.
They have a balanced line-up, with no one hitting more than 22 home-runs. Some might argue that that is a problem, but I disagree. Having everyone contribute creates that team atmosphere where everyone feels like a part of the team.
They have rebounded from that awful 7-game losing streak going into the All-Star break to go 16-7 since then.
Here's to hoping that their story continues..........
