Do you guys think the Rays can continue this success after the all star break. I think they can. Kazmir is a great pitcher. Longoria has been a stud this year. and Garza has been great lately. They have a ton of talent and look to be having a ton of fun playing baseball.

I was just about to make a thread similar to this, but I can't believe the Rays are doing so well right now. They swept the Cubs a while ago and the Red Sox again. It's pretty impressive. I think they can keep this up if the pitching is decent for the rest of the season. Kasmir/Garza have been fantastic so far. I hope the Rays win the AL East. It's so unexpected and I have to go with the underdogs. They have potential. A solid young ball club to say the least.

I think they will, although I don't know what it will amount to in the postseason.

[OskarA1991]

I'm sure most of us saw this coming, all the nice young players they have picked up over the last 5-6 years are finally ready to play.

I see them fading a little after the allstar break but I still see them making the playoffs somehow. Yankees always go on a tear after the allstar break so if that happens it will be a real interesting race between the Yanks, Sox, and Rays.

[k90dah]

i dont no if the yanks will go on the tear this yr they just dont have the goods

[Faber]

Yes the Ray's are for real, they will go deep in the playoffs no doubt.

[icadder9]

No. Obviously, the Tampa Rays will find a way to lose 25 games in a row and miss the playoffs. There no better than the Mets of a year ago.

[soxcatch15]

After that magical year the Tigers had a few years back I am very slow to count a surprise team out of contention

[ut_jazz]

yeh the rays finally got it together. i've always been a fan of Kazmir

but it will be tough holding off the sox and yanks
