Rays vs Redsox

[ChrisP]

Awesome series for the Rays....They only have 6 games left against each other (3 game sets in Sept).

As a Orioles fan I want a rematch with the Rays. The rays are slowly replacing the yankees as my most hated team. :cussing:

The Rays might be better than the Orioles. You're just saying this because right now, they have a better record than the Orioles.:rofl:

I am curious... why?

Oh shut up Pedroia, you annoying little twit!

Oh man, what did he say now?

I was completely psyched to see the Rays sweep the Sox. And particularly happy to see that Pedroia didn't hit for the cycle, because somehow that would manage to overshadow the sweep.

Right now, I'm kind of sorry the Rays are in our division, but they're the feel-good story of the season. Good for them.

Big Papi says the Rays are no big deal, since everyone knows the Yanks and Red Sox are the only thing that matters...

“The two best teams in baseball playing against each other, it don’t matter,” said Ortiz regarding the reality that the Red Sox and Yankees will be starting their four-game series tonight with both clubs out of the division’s top spot.

“There’s time. There’s a lot of games left. One way or another, (the Yankees) know how to figure it out. Time will tell, it’s a long season. These kids down the street (the Rays) have been playing well, you can’t take that way from them. But things happen. Sometimes experience shows up and takes over."

Also, your fact of the day...

The last time the Yanks and Red Sox met after July 1 with neither team in first place was Sept. 15-16, 1997.

The Rays were yet to play their first game.

I met a few rays fans and they love to rub our nose in it. I told them wait till we play them again. So I can't wait to kick their butts.

I'm not sure why anyone would that hates the Yanks and Sawx would hate the rays.

I was in Florida on vacation so I made it to the Trop for game 2 of this series. I walked up and was able to buy tickets but the place was basically full and sadly there were many more Rays fans than the Orioles had for their series against the Sox. It was a great game, and I have to say the place was pretty electric. Lots of bandwagon fans, who clearly just started paying attention (with Longoria jerseys). Speaking of Eva, he made an unbelievable play at 3rd and the place erupted. Very happy for the Rays to sweep the Sox.

Im sure for every annoying Rays fan out there, there's about 20-30 annoying Sox and Yankee fans.

That's true, But what they are saying is that every year the Birds and rays would battle for last place. Now the Orioles have last place all to themselfs. If that's not fighting words I don't know what is.
