A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #143...with the RAYS losing 3 out of 4 to AL EAST Co-Leading O's in Camden...now comes a 3 Piece in the BRONX ZOO...RAYS trailing both the O's and YANKS by 4

The Rays were playing well until they stepped foot in Camden Yards this week for a 4 Piece with No Crab Cakes. The O's take the last Three Games from the Rays and send the Rays reeling into a 3 Piece with the Bronx Bombers in the Bronx Zoo.

The Yankees get a Gem from Pitcher Phil Hughes Tonight in Fenway to win the Series over the Carmines 2-1. The Yanks also have a 4Game lead on the Rays and the Rays if they are to catch either one of the AL East Co-Leaders its has to start Friday Night in the Bronx Zoo.

RAYS @ BRONX ZOO

September 14, 2012
TB Price (17-5) vs NYY Sabathia (13-5) 7:05PM ET

September 15, 2012
TB Shields (14-8) vs NYY Nova (11-7) 4:05PM ET

September 16, 2012
TB Moore (10-10) vs NYY Kuroda (13-10) 1:05PM ET

Game 1 of the Series goes right to the AL Leader for the 2012 Cy Young in the Rays LHP and Ace David Price. Price will be going against Bombers Horse C.C. Sabathia . Game 2 pits the Rays' #2 in James Shields going against Ivan Nova while Game 3 has the Rays sending Moore to the Bump vs the Yanks' Kuroda.

The way the Pitchers stacked up in this Series Rays' Skipper Joe Maddon had to be thinking if I could only get 3 out of 4 in the Charm City with My Aces in the Hole going in NYC on Friday and Saturday. But what Maddon and the Rays received was a 1-3 Start of the Week.  

The Yankees know it is Time to take over the AL East Division and they need to start by putting the Rays a little further back into the race and make it a 2-Team Race because Three's a Crowd.
