Everything looking bad within the organization as the big league club now has lost 11(!!!!) in a row? Wrong! Two minor league affiliates take on their respective Yankee - rivals in the league finals.

It is funny to say the Rays need anymore speed being the #1 team in stolen bases . Still the bench is pretty weak for late game pinch running for slowpokes like Burrell, Navarro, and Aybar. I have been thinking that the Rays were looking into getting some faster than benchwarmer Joe Dillon , but the Rays either weren't on the same page with me or there wasn't any good trade or waiver wire pickups....
