Here is a question, who's is in first place in the AL East as of August 1st? It's not the Yankees, nor is it the Red Sox. It's the Tampa Bay Rays. God, I don't get tired of looking at the standings. I really don't. It's almost better then coffee to take a look at the standings and see the Rays ahead of Boston and New York.

Moving forward, the Rays have a task of shutting down the Tigers. Now, the Tigers have the best squad that is doing poorly, at least in the AL Central. Granted yes, they have been a lot better. But I did truly feel the Tigers would be in first place in the Central this year. Then again, what do I know.

So, Draysbay, what you do think with happen against the Detroit Tigers? I hope the Rays will offend me with some offense, but that's just me.

Let's Go Rays! De-claw the Tigers!
