do you agree with me that the rays success isnt jut a one hit wonder?

I think they will be competitors. They have tons of talent, they're young, and they're confident. Don't forget the addition of Pat Burrell.

I am, and I'm a Yankees fan.

Their young team is loaded with superstars who still have their best years ahead of them. Scott Kazmir, Carl Crawford, BJ Upton, Evan Longoria, the list goes on. If the Tampa Bay front office can keep together this core group of youngsters and Maddon can keep working well with the youngsters, the Rays should be good for years, unfortunately for me.

Yes, if any team becomes a dynasty over the next five years, it will be the Rays. Their players are still in their early to mid twenties, so the best is still in front of them.

They have a good young team, and will be competitive this year and for a number of years to come. The days of the Yankees and Red Sox kicking the crap out of them are over.

Its time for them to go into Yankee Stadium and sweep.

they do have a pretty good chance of winning the world series, but since they traded edwin jackson, the rays offense have to give more run support for their pitchers. Thats the only way.

they are a great young team and that was a awesome story last year.2008 was not a fluke they held off some great teams last year to win the divison. great young talent too,you guys should contend for years to come!

i think they'll find a way to make the playoffs this year again, but i dont think they get their first world series win yet. but maybe in 2010 or 2011.

Don't look for them to be as successful overall this year.

No. Hope you enjoyed last year and don't have unrealistic lofty expectations of them this year.

Yes I totally agree with you!
