Bah. I had a response going (with research stats), but my browser closed and it is gone.....
While the Division Championship would be awesome, nobody here is thinking they can
really hold off the Sox. Good news? Rays have an 8 game lead on Minnesota for the Wild Card slot.
Suffice it to say, Halladay vs. Sonnanstine (last night's matchup) is a Jays win 9 out of 10 times.
Rays should win the next two with Shields and Garza going.
Sox series on Monday will be a L, W, L.
Rays leading by 1.5 or more after Wednesday night.....
It is thoroughly enjoyable whatching the Yankee fans around here crawl under their rocks. I noticed my neighbor, who sports a Yankee tag on the front of his truck, last weekend changed it to Buccaneers tag. I asked him if being 12.5 back of the Rays was too much for him to handle and he mumbled something about it being football season and went into his house.
