The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: Clinchability. The Rays can clinch a playoff spot tonight. A win this afternoon followed by a Red Sox loss tonight would punch the Rays [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: The Bullpen. The relief corps has been just as bad as the starting pitching this month. But after Jeff Niemann gave up the Mariners’ [...]

Two years ago on Rays Index we were amused by Hank Steinbrenner’s comments in which he complained about having to play in the AL East. Playing In The AL East Is Too Hard For The Yankees [Rays Index]
