What a first half the Tampa Bay Rays enjoyed as the majors 'surprise team of the season. Their goal now? To make the second half just stunningly as good.Back-up catcher Shawn Riggins homered among his three hits yesterday and drove in two runs and the first-place Rays completed a remarkable first-half turnaround, beating the Pirates, 4-3 behind Andy Sonnanstine's effective seven innings.
The Rays are 49-32, the most victories midweay through a season by a team that had the majors' worst record last year. All this by a team that has never had a winning season or won more than 70 games since joining the American League in 1968.
The Red Sox are coming into town today, Shields, shown above putting a right cross on Coco Crisp. I guess Coco doesn't want anymore of that so he is doing his suspenion for the three games. Now a half of a season doesn't make a full season. But I have a gut feeling about this years Rays. At least my Dodger s made the papers had a no hitter thrown at them but won. Wow! UC157 Larry
