i'm going on record right now.....the RAYS will finish 4th in the AL EAST

[dougconnection]

put it in the bank .The cards have been falling all year for them. They are a good team, but playing over their heads.

Sorry to the 1,000 Rays Fans out there, but it takes time to build a championship team, and it doesnt happen overnight

this is a step in the right direction

behind NY and Boston, ok, but who else?

What kind of odds are you offering?

 

[HugeUnderdog]

As long as they don't win, win, win ...Hope you're right..

 

[OTK]

This is stupid. I'm a Jays fan and would love for them to finish ahead of the Rays (and still think they can), but there is no way both the Yankees and Jays finish ahead of them. The Yankees have a very good lineup, but that pitching is way too bad to seriously contend.

It's not like the Rays are just off to a hot start like the Marlins or D-Backs, they have tons of talent. They are a top 5 team in the league, and possibly the single most talented team. It looks like another sweep of the Red Sox tonight and they'll be 3.5 games up on the Sox for the division.

The Rays have a better shot of winning the World Series than they do of finishing fourth in the division.

Willing to take action on that?

Yeah, me too.

Do the math, crunch the numbers.

Rays are 51-32
Fourth place Orioles are 42-40

If the Rays play .500 ball they win 93.
If they win 93, Baltimore must win 51, or go 51-30, which is what? about .630 ball.

Even if they do that, which is damn near impossible, the Yankees and Red Sox both have to play lights out ball to force the Rays to tumble to fourth.

Bottom line, three teams can not catch and over take the Rays, especially the way the AL East all play each other a lot the final six weeks of the season.

I'll take any action you want.
Basic math says you would lose that bet, and lose it easily.

The Rays just dominated the Sox this series. As a BoSox fan, I have to say that was quite deflating. I can admit when we are beat. And in all 3 games we were thoroughly outplayed.

Hats off to you Tampa, you got a nice squad. Stand behind them!

Bill, shut the fuck up...somebody delete that post.

I want this guy to take my action. Fuck man, you're killin me.

I know man, I know, you would think he would know that without me bringing it to his attention.

I got a Chevy in my garage because of wagers like that.

DC has probably seen the Rays come from behind tonite and won't return to this thread....

I guess you dont follow baseball, they have building a great team for the last few years, baseball america projected them to win the world series in 09 a few years ago...if they DONT make the playoffs i would honestly be shocked

 

[Gator627]

Championships dont happen overnight. That's why Crawford, Shields, Kazmir, Upton, Longoria, Garza, etc have all been there longer than yesterday.

 

[5teamparlay]

AS A RAYS supporter we are all ver excited here in Tampa, yes everbody.

FROM NOW On while being in first place

st pete times:\\

Beginning now, the Rays are the hunted. Yes, they have been in first place several times before this season. And they have swept the Red Sox previously, not to mention the Angels and the Cubs.
But until this series — until Evan Longoria won a game Tuesday night with his glove and B.J. Upton won one Wednesday night with his — the Rays still had the feel of interlopers. Like a bunch of frat boys crashing a party.
That will no longer be the case. July has arrived, and the world is taking notice of Tampa Bay.
From here on, every series becomes big. Every blunder gets magnified. Every loss is a potential slide back to obscurity, and every critic has a joke waiting to be delivered.
In a way, this might be just what the Rays needed. Just when you were worrying they could be seduced by the magazine covers and the national telecasts, Big Papi has come along and tweaked their hardball insecurities.

we will see how they handle the new pressure.

Hey Warren, I think you're wanted in the Investments forum ... something about another stellar prediction of yours.

 

[JackStraw77]

Your going to here that someone like Mr JL in Las Vegas is going to make six figures if they win division and make playoffs. The books are going to get slammed again.
