BREAKING NEWS:
Mark Texiera was dealt to the Angels for Casey Kotchman and a minor league pitcher. This takes the Rays out of the running for him and they will need to look elswhere for a power hitter.
Tonight’s Game:
The Rays need to win this game to show they can win pressure games on the road. It will only be tougher since they are facing Roy Halladay.
Players to Watch:
Matt Garza- We will need him to give us a good performance to keep us close on offense and just hope Halladay has a bad game.
Carlos Pena- He has done relatively well over the years against Halladay. We need him to start doing well in order for us to be able to coast into the playoffs.
Rumor Central:
The Rays are apparently talking to both the Cubs and Braves about their lefties Will Ohman and Scott Eyre. This would likely mean that Trever Miller may be out the door soon after.
