Rays win tehir 84th game! 5.5 games ahead of the second place team with 28 games left. Could this be the year they win the division? Well done to the Rays Im not very knowledgeable when it comes to baseball but it seems to me that it is a very long season and intense how do the spectators afford to go all the games when there are so many?And what is the time gap between games ? |

I'm not the biggest Baseball fan myself but when the home team is doing welll you can't help but notice. To answer your question, cleburne, during the baseball season there are frequently games virtually every day with 1 and 2 day breaks every so often during the schedule. Even if I were the biggest Ray fan in history there is no way I could attend 81 games a season. |

We're all very proud of our team. They managed a feat far beyond our expectations and we're very happy about that. As far as the series goes it just seemed that our batting suffered a slump at the worst possible time. We had two hitters that were phenomenal during the previous playoff series that hit a skid. It happens. We'll get 'em next year.  |

Also want to congratulate the Tampa Rays on a great season, atomic. I don't follow baseball much, but I can appreciate what an achievement it is for a team just to make it into the World Series, when I think about how many teams make up the league. Me, I could maybe name 10 teams off the top of my head...and the Rays would not have been one of them. Until now.  |

Your team Atomic is having a mixed start to the season but I reckon they will have a chance of winning their division again , Pena , Longoria are in the runs and got a good few HR to date aswell mind you they have been quiet this week , J Upton has stepped up to the mark this week and scored a few HR.
As for the pitching Garza stands out and that fella Sonnastine who is playing tonight is poor.

Mixed start indeed. Rays fan are hopeful that the team will be floating around .500 by the all star break and only be out of contention for first place by a few games. That should give them a fighting chance to make some noise in the second half. Let's hope.

well they gave LAA good 11-1 beating the other day and Pena and Longoria are back in the runs and HR again they were quiet for a while plus Tampa seem to have alot of players on DL.
Is Tampa Rays ball park near you Atomic?

The Rays are now 2 games above .500 so they're staying interesting.
Tropicana Field is over across the West side of Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg. We're over here on the Eastern side of Tampa so I'm about an hour drive away. I don't get over there very often. Thankfully the Bucs are only a half hour away on the Western side of Tampa. ;D

2009 Rays are currently 44 and 35. Not stellar but certainly better and every other year except last year. 1 game behind the Yanks and 5 behind Boston, there's plenty of season left to make a run at the top spot. We'll be watching. :-)
