Mark Topkin writes a preview of the Rays/ Red Sox Series, where not only will the series decide the best in the division, but also the best in baseball. Yep, its true. Half-way through the season, the Rays aren’t just playing the spoiler, they actually have the best record in baseball going into tonight. Gordon Edes writes from the Boston point of view as the team, in second place, heads to Tampa to try to knock off the team in first. They thought the important series would be played in the Bronx this week…little did they know.  And even though I don’t think brawling is appropriate… thats not to say I don’t enjoy it when it happens… I think its great that Rays have really made their presence known as they step into AL East contender seat.    The brawl that Topkin refers to is still being felt as players continue to serve suspensions.  And remember the brawl with the Yankees from spring training? Nope, the Rays aren’t going to be pushed around on the diamond or or pushed out of the media spotlight. Try to listen to a broadcast without the announcer mentioning the Rays. Momentum is on their side.  Can’t believe it, but this is the series that I am excited to watch this week, so expect to hear more about these two teams… the best in baseball.
