I'll admit it, I never thought the Rays would be in this position. I am not surprised the Rays won the east, beat the White Sox, or even salvaged a split in Tampa. I am shocked that the Rays beat the Red Sox 9-1 tonight, in Fenway, with John Lester on the mound. I keep waiting for the Rays to play like the young team who is just happy to be there. John Lester had been annoited this year's Josh Beckett, and I had bought into the hype. All day today I saw articles praising Theo Epstein's genius for not trading Lester for Johan Santana. I guess the Rays weren't reading the same articles.
Now the Red Sox are down 2 games to 1 with Tim Wakefield on the hill to save the season.
