The Rays are not doing better because they changed their name!!!!

The rays did do a good job this year but they will lose to the whitesox in the playoffs.

REd SOx are number 1
Posted by: Anthony G. Largo high school 10th grade | October 02, 2008 at 07:53 AM
I agree with that Dean a kid but i think that kid mike ryan has no clue what he is talking about. I been to a couple of Rays when they were bad the stadium was deserted and now that there in the playoffs everyone wants to be there #1 fans which upsets me very much.
Posted by: paul s. LHS grade 10 | October 02, 2008 at 07:51 AM
Dean I think that the Rays are going to lose to the White Soxs.Boston i think is going to go all the way to the World Series.They are going to play the Yankees in the World Series. Boston is going to win the World Series.
Posted by: Joshua. B Largo High School 10th Grade | October 02, 2008 at 07:46 AM
Its true the rays are not that good,but they are in the playoffs for the first time in a long time.Its good that they are still in it and doing good.There still in first.If they keep playing there hardest they can make it to the world series.
Posted by: Heather J,Largo High School,10th | October 02, 2008 at 07:45 AM
janelle g i think ur right.......
Posted by: kody berletch | October 02, 2008 at 07:42 AM
Mike Ryan i think that you are right about the Rays.The Rays are doing great this year.I hope they go to the world series.I want them to go to the World Series.Anyways great comment
Posted by: | October 02, 2008 at 07:41 AM
Rays are going to lose. People are making them seem better than what they are. I think that .L.A. is going to shut them out and win the world seires.
Posted by: Nadi R. 10th Grade Largo High School. | October 02, 2008 at 07:41 AM
WooHoo the Rays are in the playoffs.Boston doesn't stand a chance against Florida.We will make Boston fans turn to Rays fans.Rays good luck to you in the World Series.
Posted by: Ryan j | September 30, 2008 at 11:30 AM
I like the Rays cuz they did that breast cancer thing while wearing those pink uniforms that was really sweet of them to do that for the women of America who have breast cancer...Its really cool that their getting better and going to the post season...The Rays are pretty cool their good romodels too...The whole pink uniforms proves they're awesome people because they raised money for the breast cancer charity
Posted by: pheobe(felicia) 10th grade largo high school | September 30, 2008 at 11:15 AM
The Rays are the best in the AL EAST and are going to take on either Chicago or Minnisota. The Rays have never been in the post season before. I have a feeling that they will make it all the way to the World Series. the Ray`s are a becon of light amongst Tampa Bay.
Posted by: joe t Largo High School 10th | September 30, 2008 at 11:11 AM
The Rays are doing great this year, I think its because they changed their name from Devil Rays to Rays. They also changed their uniforms too. I hope they get to the World Series that would be great! This would make a difference in the history of baseball for sure.
Posted by: Jake M Largo High 10th | September 30, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Tampa Bay Rays is a young baseball team doing very well. This is the first time they had ever been to the playoffs in 10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!It's amazing how long the Rays where in first place for.If the Rays make it to the World Series, no matter who they verse they are going, because they are the best baseball team ever. They have great pitching,batting,infielding, outfielding, they are just a great baseball team. Boston Red Sox are not better then the Rays, but the Yankees are. Go Rays and Yankees!!!!!!!
Posted by: Brandon R, Largo High School, 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 11:08 AM
The Rays this year have kicked butt.
They have been really really good this year, better than ever if you really wanna get technical. The Rays winning streak has been pretty good except for the some games they have lost. I bet they will make it to the playoffs since they're divison champs already.
Good luck
Go Rays
Posted by: Jessica. Largo High School 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 11:03 AM
I'm a huge Rays fan. I've watch basicaly all of their games. I think there going to go to the World Series. That would be tight because they have the lowest payroll in all of the major league. I think other baseball teams have alot of respect for the Rays since they came in to first place in the hardest division in the majors..
Posted by: mike ryan largo high 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 10:50 AM
The Rays making it to the playoffs would be great!!!:)
It would be great to know that you have inspirations.Letting you know that you can make it anywhere as long as you have a goal and passion for it.And the rays show that people from small towns can pull of such big dreams in their life asd long as they set their mind to it.It would be truly wonderful!
Posted by: Samantha M Largo High School 10th | September 30, 2008 at 10:41 AM
Really to me the Rays are doing good this year. They sucked all the years before. Boston will always suck to me. They have a chance to make it to the world series.
Posted by: Austin P, 10th Largo High | September 30, 2008 at 09:34 AM
I think that the Rays are'nt that good.
The Red Sox are so much better.
But they have picked it up in the last three years. Even though i hate them i honestly think they have a chance of winning.
Posted by: Janelle G. Largo High,10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 09:34 AM
It's gonna be so awesome if The Rays make it through playoffs!!! In my opinion Boston is better than the Rays. However I'm from Tampa so I gotta be a little hyped up!!! I hope it comes down to the Rays vs. the Red Socks in the American League Championship.
Posted by: Dean A.10th grade. largo highschool | September 30, 2008 at 09:29 AM
The Rays are doing good this year. They have a spot in the playoffs and have a good chance at winning. If they keep up the good work they could play in the World Series. Best of luck hope they win it for the home state.
Posted by: Diamante S. Largo high,10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 09:25 AM
The Rays are having the best season ever. I hope they can keep up the good work during the post season, and make it to the World Series. That would be an excellent job if they make it for the frist time in team history.
Posted by: amber l,largo high school:10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 09:15 AM
Well I think the Rays stink. But they have made a good come back. Even thought I think that the Red Sox are better.
Posted by: Janelle G. Largo High,10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 09:15 AM
I'm not a huge sports fan, but I'm glad to see they are doing well this season. I hope they make it to the top! That will be exciting for the Tampa area.
Posted by: Dani L Largo High School 10th | September 30, 2008 at 09:05 AM
First I do not like the Rays, I think they are horrible. They did make it this far so I will give them credit but they will get beat very badly by the Boston Red Sox. I predict it will be the Red Sox vs the Yankees. I think the Rays will choke and lose badly. The Red sox is the best baseball team ever. They will never lose the World Series especially to the dispicable Rays ...
Posted by: paul s LHS grade 10 | September 30, 2008 at 08:03 AM
The Rays are HOT this year WHOOOO!!!!! I believe that they can make it.I hope that they play in the playoff so they can make HISTORY.GO RAYS, WIN THIS!
Posted by: shanice,largo high school,10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 07:51 AM
I think that the Rays will lose. Against the Sox and start losing after that. But it would be nice for the Rays to win. Because Tampa Bay has never made it to the Playoffs.
Posted by: kody berletch largo highschool | September 30, 2008 at 07:50 AM
I think it would be great if the Devil Rays went to the World Series. They have done great this season.Their way better then Boston. Its great that the Rays are in the post season for the first time.They have gotten far this season.It would mean alot to me if the Rays went to the World Series.
Posted by: Joshua, B Largo High School 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 07:48 AM
Wow all three of yeah are wrong especially you Austin P.! The Rays aren't going to make it to the World Series when the Red Sox are in their way. The Red sox are going to destroy the Rays and defend their World Series by winning it. So I actually feel so bad for the Rays for making it to the playoffs for when they get beat by the bigger and stronger teams like the Yankees the Red Sox and the Angels. So you guys are wasting your time with the Loser Rays and for them going to the playoffs to get embrassed. GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Anthony G. Largo High School, 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 07:47 AM

Well i havent watched much of the Rays, But i know that they are doing really good. I heard all positive things about them. The fans have even made a new hair cut that is named Ray hawk. Fans are really going out of their way and supporting them. That has influenced me into be coming a Rays fan.
Posted by: Alisha D, Largo High School, 10th grade | September 30, 2008 at 07:31 AM
The Rays are AWESOME!!!!!!!! It would mean alot to Tampa because we have NEVER been to the playoffs.
Posted by: Robert F. Largo High School, 10th grade | September 29, 2008 at 11:38 AM
They are doing better than EVER!!! Boston is definintely NOT as good as the Rays!! I hope they make it to the World Series
Posted by: Austin P, Largo High School, 10th grade | September 29, 2008 at 10:02 AM
