Sports: Rays Aren’t Out Of The Woods Yet — from Tampa Bay Online: “Tampa Bay still has 24 games to play against New York and Boston. In order to catch up to the Red Sox’s pace of 95 victories, the Rays would have to go 68–33 over their last 101 games. They’ve only won more than 68 games in an entire season twice (1999–2000). Hence, Piniella’s words of caution to exuberant fans not quite used to a string of success as long as this has been. “I want to caution them not to get too excited right now,” Piniella said. “I want to be realistic. We made a bad streak and we’re having a good streak. The important thing is how we consolidate. But the players are having fun and they’re confident. They feel they can win, and that’s a big part of it.” ”
