Playing A Little Pepper… Over/Under Tampa Bay Rays Wins In 2013: 87.5 Vegas has the Rays’ over/under win total at 87.5. During thousands of projections, the Rays averaged 88 wins. And about two-thirds of the ESPN experts think the Rays will make the playoffs. To me, the Rays feel like [...]
Playing A Little Pepper… Tonight is likely BJ Upton’s final game in a Rays uniform. Only Carl Crawford has worn it more. Five years from now, how will we remember Bossman Junior? I doubt it will be much different from now. If he goes to Boston or Miami and blossoms [...]
