putting the "D" back in D-Rays

From the perspective of the morning after, our Devil Rays look better than they did at bedtime last night. Maybe it was the shrieking girls that threw me off, but I do have to give the Rays' defense a lot more credit than I felt they deserved last night. The Yankees left 9 runners stranded on base. That's the good news. Bad news: The Yankees scored all of their runs when they had two out. As the old saying goes, a good offense will beat a good defense. The Rays' offense didn't give up, though. Every time the Yankees scored, the Rays came back and tied, right up to the end when they finally ran out of gas.

It is time to add the obligatory, "This is a young team. They should look great next year." May we all live so long.
