Well, it may not be a feel good story if you are a Yankee or Boston fan, but I’m trying to get away from talking about the underachieving teams, at least for one day. The Rays, who have won 14 of their last 18, are the first team (since 1900) to have the best record in baseball through Memorial Day after having the worst record the year before. Scott Kazmir was on fire last night, and even though Cool Carl Crawford says everyone thinks they will fade at the end, and we do, its also nice to hear the Kazmir doesn’t think they have even played their best baseball. I’m enjoying Marc Topkin’s work everyday, both because I think he gets to the essence of the game, and because you can tell that after all these years of having to report on a bad team he’s having fun getting a quote that doesn’t sound like it came from Bull Durham.
