Tampa Bay Rays - The Beast In The East

The Tampa Bay Rays are showing everyone exactly how good they are. The young talent of this team is amazing. The manager is doing an awesome job of leading these bright young stars to the World Series. He continues to show confidence in every one of his players.

The Rays are tearing up the Red Sox in this year's ALCS, making them look like a minor league club. Even my brother, the biggest Red Sox around, has conceded that the Rays are the best team in baseball. He hasn't given up on his Sox but it's obvious he knows the Red Sox can't compete.

It looks like the Red Sox time is up, just like the Yankees time was up after 2000. I look forward to watching the Rays playing at the highest level possible. I mean they hit homers, play outstanding defense, have 4 quality starters, finally have a reliable bullpen, don't make the mental mistakes, steal bases, have egos and basically intimidate all the teams in major league baseball. And finally, they are having fun, and that is something that I love to see - that tells the whole story.

Many of the Rays stars have been "farm raised", and they are so young - bad news for the American League teams, especially the Yanks and Sox.

Look out America - the Rays may become the next Evil Empire (not with money but with talent). My hat goes off to the Rays!

Now it's time for a new stadium!

If you want to show your youth baseball players what baseball is all about, just have them watch a Tampa Bay Rays' baseball game, the best team in baseball.

Good article Bob. You called it. I thought after game 6 that they might fold but they took care of business. Now, who is going to win the world series?
