I don't think closer is the issue. The Rays just went 11-5 with Percival on the DL.

If they falter down the stretch, it will be because of their lack of offense. They desperately miss Crawford and Longoria's bats.

This is really starting to catch up with them. They are getting some pleasantly unexpected production from Aybar, but they desparately need a consistant stick in the outfield. Hinske and Gross have been surprising, as has been Zobrist, but without their 2 big bats, it's going to be a tough series at Fenway.

Thought I read that they expect Longo back after the Boston series, I think CC is out until the playoffs.

They've got the deepest pen in the league, and the starters have some of the best stuff in the AL. If we get swept at Fenway again, it really isn't the end of the world by any means. Longoria back for the home series and two cream puff series with Detroit and Baltimore to close it out should open the gap back up. It may come down to the road series with the Yankees, I still don't see Boston winning the division.

Rays gave one back last night (very sloppy D) and the Sox took one away from the Jays late.

Should be a fun series starting tomorrow.

I'm not sure about you Mike, but it's seasons like this one that makes me wish the Orioles were in another division. Nothing would be finer than seeing the Evil Empire are the bottom of the AL East
