Tough to take

As hard as I try to support my new hometown team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, last night's ninth-inning collapse, giving the Toronto Blue Jays a walk-off 12-11 victory, certainly has me rethinking this newfound allegiance.

Granted, I don't expect the Rays to win most games. As a fan, though, I would expect them to hold a five-run league for a rookie pitcher (Andy Sonnanstine) making his Major League Baseball debut.

It's truly a disappointing day to be a Rays fan.

If there was a way to combine the Pirates pitching with the Rays lineup, you'd get a playoff team.

Now that would be a blockbuster trade. Really, it's just the middle relief. The confidence level of that group is pretty low.
