Yea, feel the same way about needing to win - no excuses -esp with the Yankees tearing it up and Boston lurking around! Your lineup would be best, but with no Longoria or Joyce this offense will probably struggle most of the time?
Really have to get Hellickson back and hope pitchers can keep it 3 runs or less for this group to have a chance. I have to admit I had lost some faith in Price earlier, but obviously he has been putting it together and is back to being an ace once again. Hope he starts the All Star game since he'll be the only Ray rep this time around.

Somehow hold on until reinforcements arrive..... Go Rays!!!!

Blame Cobb if you like but whats forgotten is, Even if Cobb pitched a 1 hitter.....No runs crossed the plate....

Rodney will probably be pulled for the ASG aswell.

"Welcome to the big leagues kid. " He may need some more seasoning and with more scouting reports his novelty has temprarily worn off. He will get it back. Maybe a trip back to Durham wouldn't hurt.

Your info sounds encouraging; keep up the good work.Instead of flim flamming with the newbie pitchers, the Rays should keep their eyes open for another proven starter; or rotate the bull pen on a constant basis.
