A little sun shines on the Rays.
Posted by Eric Snider on Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Uh oh, I’m now doing what I warned the Rays against: watching the standings. It started two nights ago when the Rays beat the Blue Jays while the Red Sox and Yankees lost. I thought, “Hmmm, they gained a game. Good.”
I peeked this morning and saw that that Sox lost again, and the Yanks won. Not too bad. Rays have a three-game lead in the AL East.
But like I said a few days ago: There are more than 50 games left to play (55 to be exact). I think it’s counterproductive for Rays players to start a daily vigil on how the Sox and Yanks are doing.
I know it’s impossible to ignore those scores — the news is everywhere — but the St. Petersburg team has to do its best to downplay the day-to-day importance.
For fans, on the other hand, it just adds to the excitement.
The Rays fared pretty well on their road trip, going 4-3 and taking two out of three (close games) from division foe Toronto (although, collectively, the offense has yet to kick into gear).
The Rays play their next six games at home, three each against the increasingly dangerous Detroit Tigers (6-4 in their last 10) and then the Indians.
I like that Kazmir opens the series on Friday, not so much that the increasingly shaky Andy Sonnanstine pitches against crusty veteran Kenny Rogers on Saturday. Then again, L.L. Cool J performs after that game, and the Rays haven’t lost on concert Saturday nights.
I'm wondering if my bud Sean Daley of the St. Pete Times has started watching the standings? I'm also wondering if he's excited about watching L.L. shirtless.

The way I figure it, this is novel territory for the Rays. Sure, the future looks all shiny, happy, bright. But things happen (or don't happen) around here. So who knows when they'll be hanging in the penthouse suite again. Might as well live it up now with some early standings gawking. Alas, no shirtless L.L. I gotta pay the bills and cozy up to George Michael.
