Not sure why everyone is jumping off the Rays bandwagon. They have the best starting rotation in baseball. Young players who hopefully get better on offense. Also more depth than either the Yankees or the Red Sox.

Yes I am a homer, but that seems to be a very good formula for the Rays to win the East AGAIN

What is with the Torii Hunter picture? Maybe I’m missing something…

And just to clarify…the point I was trying to make was that the Red Sox ended the Yankee run of AL East Championships and the Rays ended the Yankees playoff appearance streak…in the editing of the article I removed the reference to the years in which these events occurred.

As for my prediction, again what I was attempting to convey was that I thought the Sox would once again beat the Yankees out for the AL East crown in 2009 as they had in 2007.

Guys – Obviously you are correct. I think, as Sox fan, I am still in denial…though I did at least remember that the Rays beat the Sox on the ALCS.

That said – I’d be more interested in hearing your thoughts on the rest of the Preview portion of the article. Do you disagree with my prediction that the Red Sox and Yankees will make the post season? If so, state your case.

Oh, come on guys. If you want to post your thoughts, post something constructive. No reason to be so negative.

That said, the first sentence of the article does need attention! Sheesh.

What Roger said.

The Tampa Bay Rays were the ones to ” wrestle the AL East Crown out of the hands of the Yankees”.

Give credit where credit is due.

I think he means “repeat” as in “win again”….not necessarily last season
