August 19, 200520 yr They won 3 of 4 against the Yankees in Tampa Bay in early May then were swept by Minnesota. They won 3 of 4 in New York in late June and were then swept by Florida. They won 2 of 3 against the Yankees in Tampa in mid-August...now host Texas...
August 19, 200520 yr If my memory serves me right the past 3-4 years they have always played the Yankees tough. It must be a blend of having a big crowd and simply playing a team like the Yankees. The players must get up for those series like no other.

I believe they actually won one series out of four last year, but other than that they have gotten a thorough beatdown. Not this year though, FEAR THE RAYS! GO DAMON HOLLINS! WOOO!

August 19, 200520 yr Author Usually Yanks own Tampa Bay but this year, Tampa has been killing the Yankees. I think it's Lou firing up his boys when NY or Boston plays them.
August 20, 200520 yr Imagine if the owners actually spent money on that team. :whistle 908518[/snapback] DRays hitting and our (Marlins) pitching? hmm :shrugs I don't follow them much, but from what I have seen, they have a pretty good hitting team...their pitching is just non-existant... Which lineup is better? 1-8, no DH Marlins or DRays?
August 20, 200520 yr All I will remember from the games vs TB this year is the one game where we (Yankees) scored like 11 runs after being down and won 20-11
August 21, 200520 yr Imagine if the owners actually spent money on that team.? :whistle 908518[/snapback] DRays hitting and our (Marlins) pitching? hmm :shrugs I don't follow them much, but from what I have seen, they have a pretty good hitting team...their pitching is just non-existant...

August 26, 200520 yr The D-Rays have a lot of talent. If the owners spend some money to get a better pitching staff they'd probably be in 3rd place right now.
August 26, 200520 yr Author They're still 10 games behind Baltimore for second to last. I think the law of averages is just playing out. They'll still be in last at the end of the season.

The Devil Rays becoming a real baseball team. :o
September 7, 200520 yr Author Yanks will now have a losing record vs. Tampa Bay this season after their loss yesterday
September 8, 200520 yr All I have to say is this: Goodbye Tampa Bay hello Boston! I'll be a bleacher creature at tomorrow's game... :cool
September 9, 200520 yr Author They dont even have Upton or Delmon Young. All this team needs is pitching. 936369[/snapback] And to play Yanks & Red Sox for about 80% of the season
