The White Sox handed out promotional ponchos at a recent home game. Who wouldn’t like a free poncho when your team plays in an outdoor facility, right? However, I might have gone with another color, you know…something other than white. It’s been said the Rays have the best promotional items. Any guess where the White Sox may now rank on that list?

The New What Next: Rays vs. Tigers — the Gauntlet Continues
The Tampa Bay Rays’ 11-game road gauntlet has gone well so far, and they’ll attempt to continue their success this weekend, when they head to Detroit for a four game wrap around series against the Tigers. For the Rays, they are currently 6-1 on the road, coming off a huge three-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Tampa Bay has found a way to remain relevant, thanks in large part to a productive offense that has averaged just under five runs per game (over the last 14-days).
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: How Sweep It Is!
Sweep! The Tampa Bay Rays are able to exit the Bronx in huge, sweeping fashion on the heels of a huge 6-3 win against the Yankees. Despite falling behind early, Tampa Bay battled back — putting up one spots in the third, fourth, and fifth innings knotting things up at three apiece. Then they pulled ahead in the sixth inning on a huge Sean Rodriguez two-run blast to left-center — the longest homer at Yankee Stadium in two years (measuring 102.1 MPH off the bat).
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Price Solid, Loney Goes Yard, and the Rays Won 2-1
Grant Balfour made things hairy in the ninth, yet the Rays were still able to win the middle game of the series by a score of 2-1 — also winning the series in the process. David Price may have fallen short of his 10-K goal by one — a fact that’s irrelevant in the scheme of things — but he still walked away with a “W” behind a strong outing. Balfour was credited with the save.
