Spending as much time in New York City as we do, you can imagine that it is never easy being a Crusader in an Unholy Land. But one of our simple joys is always basking at the backpage covers of the local tabloids after the Rays beat the Yankees. And never is that more enjoyable than this season as the Rays now sit 3.5 games ahead of the boys in pinstripes. To put it simpler...if the Rays lost the remaining three games of this series, they would still be ahead of the Yankees in the standings.
