Tampa Bay Devil Rays ...

If I read one more time that "The Rays are here to stay" or "The Rays are going to be good for years" or "The Rays are not going anywhere" or something to that effect, I think I'll just have to stop following professional sports. Truly. People are such bandwagon morons sometimes. Has a single "sports journalist" not said this remark recently? How many times has a team had a good season, only to totally bomb later on? Did everyone say that the Colorado Rockies are "not going anywhere" last season?! Shut the fuck up already. If the Rays actually make the playoffs for the next couple seasons, THEN unpack all the "new dynasty" remarks. Are they playing well (excluding the last three games)? Absolutely. But how do you know that they're really not going anywhere?
Rant over.
EDIT: My bad. They are no longer the devil.
Just Rays.

BEAR DOWN!!!!!
They are on a 4 game slide.
They have still played 9 less games on the road than the Red Sox.
Much tougher schedule in the 2nd half for them.
They have improved.
They will finish 7 games out in 3rd place.
I'd just like to point how amazing this part of this thread was.
Well played, gentlemen.

in royalty fees.
They are probably in the bottom 3 in average attendance. kind of
hard to find a bandwagon with those numbers let alone jump on it.

the nothing ventured - the nothing feigned
I dont see this team finishing any better than 3rd, for the reason you mention and the fact that young arms usually falter late when it matters most. The entire staff is young, not just one or two of them.
I may be in the minority here, but this is a crucial time for this team right now today. Not how they handle September, or late August. Right now. They had a 5 game lead on Boston 4 days ago. They have lost 4 in a row. Lets see how they bounce back (if they do), and then how they keep pace after the break with the sox and yankees. If they can keep pace and hang around within 1 or 2 games over the next two months...impressive. I dont see it happening.
This is very impressive.
ya think ?

No, just kidding. I still say they drop like rocks.
