To repeat what is painfully obvious by comparing the amount of payroll to the standings this year and in past years: NO amount of money spent on payroll guarantees you a spot in the playoffs. You can keep claiming it does all you want, but that is at variance with the facts (not that being at variance with facts ever stopped you from claiming rubbish before).

Originally posted by darvlayI'm on board. The Yanks can't come back, in my opinion, so Boston and the Rays will both be there. Not sure who will win the division, but they'll both be there.
The Rays are for real. But don't worry, guys, I'll save some spots on the bandwagon for ya's...

Originally posted by darvlayDoh! I guess that makes it the exact opposite of what I said, then. Interesting.
Season series between the Rays and Sox is even at 6-6. The Rays were swept twice in Fenway. The Sox were swept twice at Tropicana.
Question: Who is more capable of getting a win at the opponents field?

The Rays play 17 of their last 27 on the road and their ten home games are against the Yankees, Red Sox and Twins. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/teamSchedule?categoryId=71616&month=9
They're an exciting team to watch, but I just don't think they have the experience to survive such a tough September.

Yankees smack the Rays 5-0 behind 8 innings of shutout ball by Petitte and a big, 2 out, 2 run double by Jeter coupled with a rally killing play in the hole by the Captain (who has no range according to Bill James).
What a year Pettitte and Mussina are having, I must say...
