Rays win tonight against the Angels 10-3.

Bullpen did well again, which is going to be critical in the post Price era.

I didn't get to watch it but love beating a team in blowout fashion!

Rays avoid a sweep in Oakland.

Hellickson actually pitched well, bats produced some runs

Rays beat the Cubs in 10 innings, Archer was solid for six.

Don't understand using McGee in the eighth and Boxberger in the ninth.

Just doesn't make sense as McGee faced only one lefty in the eighth.

Rays beat Chbs again behind JO who had a great start.

Rays 5.5 back of the wildcard, and just need to keep winning series from here on out.

There is a ton of head-to-head action coming up.

Rays need to win the series against the Rangers and keep building momentum as they play the Yankees next in what will be a crucial series if they expect to make a wild card run.

Rays win the series against the Rangers and now host NY for the weekend series.

I believe that 32 of the last 41 games are against the AL East.

Lost interest in this team months ago. Cant afford to keep your better players and cant afford to add free agents except for thirft store signings. This team hasn't had a legit DH for years. Sure they will compete but they will always have a hand tied.

Sell off continues as Zobrist and Escobar trading. I am done following this team. I can only handle one rebuilding project.

It's sad and just a matter of time until they are sold and moved.

I hope they are moved, not sold. St. Pete is not cutting it. A small move across the pond to Tampa would work. I wouldn't complain if Orlando were a possible destination either :)

The leadership of St Pete continues to fail the region.

With the previous mayor gone, there were thoughts that the impasse might end, but the city council again denied the Rays the opportunity to just investigate other local locations.

This team will be eventually sold, and that buyer will probably leave the region high and dry with regard to baseball.
