Do the Tamp Bay Rays already have the AL East "chip" on their shoulder?

Question

Win Somethin 1st??

Answer 1

See, this sounds like a vicious cycle to me.  While I understand your sentiments, I have the feeling that a lot of people with that opinion would only say, "Well, try getting to the ALCS" if we made the playoffs, then, "Well, you can talk once you make the Series", and even if we somehow won the Series, all we would hear would be, "Well, good for you, but come back when you have X number of rings."

Yes, there are Rays fans who are jerks, and most of them probably started following the team about 3 weeks ago.  Or, maybe they're just trying to have a little revenge against all those Yankees/Sox fans who have done the same to us for years.  Every team has them, at least when said team is having a good run.

Answer 2

No but their fans do! How can you say the Rays do as a team? What proof of this? Cmon give me a break!

Answer 3

The Rays are so sick of being in last all these years. Of course they love where they are right now. They wanna prove people wrong fo sho. I got Rays fever. I live in San Diego, and as far as I know, we have a team called the padRAYS.

Answer 4

I don't think the team does but some of their fans do & when they go around saying that the Yankees & Red Sox suck is pretty dumb considering the Rays haven't won anything yet.  They are just in first place right now & could win the AL East but until they win a play off game, play off series & a World Series, they can't say much in my book & I have nothing against the Rays
