The "Cleveland Massacre" Again????

by raysfan09 on Aug 4, 2008 1:13 PM EDT

this time i don't think the rays will slip...they are at home and havn't been played to death...Garza vs lee a strong pitcher who has beat the rays....but again the rays havn't played the red sox Yankees and jays all in 2 game plus series before facing Cleveland....i don't see a sweep because i like lee in this match up...he had a shut out 5-0 win in there last visit but coroma has not pitched against the rays yet and sowers not either coming in with a 1-6 record and a era this year 5.82 ...Tampa will eat that up at home but again i see the rays with 2 out of 3 in this series. but what do you think?????? will Lee beat Tampa tonight?

Don't forget

The Indians lost 10 straight (on the road I believe) going into that last series. They were certainly not going to lose that series at home.

Bad timing all around for the Rays on that series.

plus we might have Babe Ruth errrr Rocco Baldelli

remember the guy who may have been a big reason we didnt make a trade before the deadline

as of late, Garza has been the more impressive pitcher.

i don’t give Lee an advantage in this game at all. tough to call.

Lee is the type of pitcher that dominates the Rays

I think we win, but it will be more of the 2-1 type tonight.

I have a feeling this is going to be a low-scoring series

which I think favors us with our good pen and defense. That said, I’ve been waiting for Cliff Lee to fall off all season. Last start was not very good so it is either the start of that trend or one bad outing that he will work really hard on to put behind him. So basically I have no clue. You’re welcome.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
