RAYS take their 9-3 in their Last 12 Games ACT to the BRONX ZOO as the #1 AL Wild Card Team...YANKS running on Fan Appreciation Week for ANDY & MO & the 2013 PINSTRIPES and this ones for the SANDMAN...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report can the RAYS hold it down in the BX? #TBvsNYY

Rays Skip Joe Maddon and the Rays have come together at the right time as for awhile it looked like a an August/September Swoon that was going to keep them from a shot at the "Fight for October". Now the Rays head to the Bronx Zoo with Skeletons in that Clubhouse everywhere. They will face a Yankees Bunch that is running "Big Tex" Andy Pettitte and the "Sandman" Mo Rivera calling it quits for the Bombers ending a whole Era of Yankees Hardball. They also will not see CC of Jordan Brand as a Hamstring has shut him down for 2013. Everything is in the Rays Favor they just have to play sound October-Like Hardball.

The Rays are not taking anything for granted as they are bring the Boys on the Bump with hr Big Boy Pants on. The Yankees like most when your out of the Pennant Race might bring up some of those "Down on the Farm" Arms to see what they have in a pressure situation as the other team is going all out as they are in a Pennant Race.
