What has happened?
Was that one of the four horsemen I saw?
Since when do the Red Sox utter a sigh of relief that they're leaving the Trop and heading to the Stadium?
Sure, the Rays are for real, no doubt. They have, after 12 or so consecutive top 3 draft picks managed to field a very talented and young team (and let's not forget the Kazmir for Zambrano trade - yet another brilliant move by the Mets). Longoria leads a superb defense and they are certainly for real. However, the difference maker this year is that several players are having career years, including the old sock Hinske, who's playing out of his skin.
We'll see if the Rays are still in it when injuries hit in August/early September, as they inevitably will.
Still, not complaining that we're 6 games ahead of 4th (!) place Yankees.
