They haven't played a good team since September 18. That's a hell of a long time to go without being tested by a winning team. Combined with the three-day layoff, can you say rusty?

Although the stadium will be rockin', i look for the experience of the Rays to shine through.
Everyone said all the same things about the TB/Texas game.... Rays took care of business.
I think Cleveland has more pressure to win tonight and they dont have the postseason/big game resume to make me think they can come through

But..............It's a 1 game series, and they are playing at home.

The thing about baseball is that it perhaps the most difficult sport to will yourself into sharpness for one game. I would say the fact that it s a one-game series is a strike against them. They do have home-field, but I feel home-field advantage is a lot less in baseball than other sports.

The bottom line is that they are a team that doesn't belong in the playoffs with a fanbase that doesn't deserve a team.

Not disagreeing.....just making points, however I do disagree with the home field in based......I am on the fence with this game and will prolly sit out

Oh boy, that is gonna get em fired up the Tribe fans that is, LOL. I am a Reds fan since I was raised in southern Pickaway County, much closer to Cincy, but with the lackluster attendence for many years I understand where you are coming from.

Absolutely agree that of the major sports, baseball home field is least advantageous..no doubt. Like TB myself. Let's roll !

But if Cleveland doesn't deserve a team, neither does Tampa x 10 and they may lose theirs. :facepalm:
