I keep hearing how much better the Rays are this year. They keep playing like this, I'm liable to start believing it.

Don't believe what you hear about the Rays, they still stink. The Yankees however are much worse than last year. Cashman should have been fired the day he even made a phone call to Latroy Hawkins. There isn't a person on this site that doesn't realize that Hawkins is a choke artist along the lines of Armando Benitez, yet the Yankee GM signs him and is probably surprised when he gives up 6 runs to Tampa. The only saving grace was that Manny Del carmen decided to throw Frank Thomas a chnageup after blowing everyone away with fastballs, which led to a 2 run double for Toronto as they beat Boston.

I got on their bandwagon last year. They have some young players that really play well. They have a strong rotation that could get a lot of wins. Not too sold on their bullpen yet though.

I thought their pitching staff would be better than what they have shown us so far. They have pitched nearly all 12 of their pitchers with only 4 games played with little success. Andy Pettitte will be activated from the disabled list prior to Saturday's game against the Rays, so we'll see what happens from here on out.
