Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Are the Rays (and A's) here to stay?

From the Hardball Times

This is a solid breakdown of the stats that say, yes, the Rays are for real and the performance is sustainable. Sullivan goes onto show how our OPS and DIPS support the 22-16 record and highlights just how well the pitching staff has been performing this year. Maybe the public will pick up on what the nation is learning because 12,000 fans at a Yankee game last night, in the midst of a 9 game home winning streak, is pathetic. Maybe people are just tired of going to those games and putting up with the idiotic yankee fans..

BP did something on the Marlins yesterday

Basically saying that their winning has been mainly against lower-tier competition and their next month will be the real showing of how good they are. BP predicted that they’d be under .500 within a month.
