Rays @ M's 5/4-5/6

[Tobywan]

Probable starters

Shields VS Vargas

Garza VS Lee

Niemann VS Roland-Smith

The games will be on late here so I should be able to catch most of this series, looking forward to Wed. match-up, especially.

[Porter]

I'll probably have to watch the replays of all 3 games from being at work.

Big game James comes through again! Awesome! I am just overwhelmed by their fast start this season especially on the road. I am not feeling so bad now that I see all the empty green seats at Safeco.

I am shocked we were able to get to Lee. Navarro sure likes playing in Seattle he was able to bring his BA up to .164.

Rays have one of the best lineups in all of baseball. I'm far pas the point of being shocked at anything they do. They could score 30 runs in a game and I wouldn't think twice.

Considering the season we had last year as compared to the one before, also compared to the one before that.........hell yes, I am surprised. From what I have seen and heard from our announcers and others in the organization everyone is giddy over this first month and a week of the season. I didn't even witness such enthusiasm when we were going to the WS. That year I think we were all just in complete shock.

Take into consideration that the rotation which was shaky last year and is only different by one guy. BP is still shaky, Navy is batting .164, Burro at .229, ( at least Pena is taking walks) which thankfully Maddon says Jaso and Aybar will now get more time. Yes, I am a bit surprised.
