• Rays the Stakes lays out why they believe the Rays will have trouble hanging around this season...We've said it several times. The Rays will have trouble hanging around in the East, but they do have a 3 game cushion in the wild card, even with their recent 3-6 road trip. And their biggest threat is the Yankees who are 4.5 back. If the Rays do hit a slump in the schedule, they will still be in the wild card race for a long while and they are one hot stretch away from making the wild card a one-team race. [Rays the Stakes]
• Slow day...Marc Topkin points out that some players play better at home than they do on the road...BLASPHEMY! [St. Pete Times]
