Rays: By the numbers
Posted May 12, 2008 by Marc Lancaster

In the aftermath of yet another victory, a few numbers for you:
At 22-16, the Rays have their best record ever after 38 games and are six games over .500 for the first time
The Rays are now just a half-game back of the Red Sox
The Rays are now 3 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees in the standings, their largest lead ever over New York
Their five-game winning streak is the longest active run in baseball
Their 10-game home winning streak is a club record and the longest in MLB this season by two games
All 10 of those wins have come against teams that finished with a winning record last season
The Rays have won 14 of their last 19
At 16-11 against the AL East, they are the only team in the division with a winning record in the division
Rays starters have a 1.29 ERA (six earned runs in 41 2/3 innings) over the last six games
And finally, Andy Pettitte’s last (and only other) loss at the Trop came on Sept. 16, 1998. Check out the box score from that bad boy for some blasts from the past.

TALKING ABOUT NUMBERS .. BEING N0.1 ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD <> CAN THE RAYS WIN THE EAST OVER BOSTON ? CAN I CHANGE MY MIND ? MY THINKING WAS WE HAVE A GOOD SHOT AT A 2ND OR 3RD PLACE FINISH BUT NOW I REALLY SEE THE RAYS AT NUMBER 1 IN SEPT.<> WHY REMAIN NEGATIVE WHEN THE TEAM HAS STACKS OF POSITIVES FOR THE FIRST TIME ? <> NOT GOOD BUT A GREAT DEFENSE, SOME SPEED, SOME POWER & WHO WILL KNOCK THE PITCHING ? PLUS, PENA & LONGORIA WILL YET SUPPLY !!!

The subtlty that no one has mentioned thus far about last night was that Bartlett’s triple landed in almost the exact spot that Carl caught a ball destined for the gap a few innings later. The Yankees have a clearly inferior outfield to go with their damaged pitching. The Rays have ability all over the place, the Yankees have only memories!
