Answer 3

The Rays have been slowly and quietly sneaking up for quite a long time, building a young team.  For a few years, everybody has been saying they're close to a breakout year.

Guess what, folks?  THIS is that breakout year that you've been talking about.  They have talent, they work hard, and when a team gets hot for a while, anything can happen.  If they can keep it going for more than half a season, why can't they keep it going the rest of the way?

When a team gets that swagger, it's hard to convince them that they're not the best around.  When you think you're the best, you might just play like the best.

Keep an eye on those Rays!  If only their own fans would do the same...the size of their crowds would be a disappointment even at hockey games, and that's too bad.

Answer 4

All season many expected The Rays to crumble alike to The Brewers last 2 seasons and so forth. Not happening. With over 100 games played, this fan ( since late last season when I realized what kind of team they were putting togetehr, let alone a very respectable pitching staff), can safely say they will at least get Wild Card. Their Pitching has been ranked with in top 7 all season, which they dont get respect for, and their timely hitting has been doing it in the close games. They almost remind  me of The Braves of years past. Fans need to realize Tampa has an awesome team, are contenders, and will contend till the end of the season. Next years Rays, I think the Royals.
