Congratulations to the 2008 AL Champions Tampa Bay Rays! That was a roller coaster of a series against the Red Sox, and I was sweating bullets when Maddon left Price in for the ninth inning.

The Sunshine State College Football Rankings according to Ski: It’s the second week of the college rankings for Florida, which means we can expect to see a good deal of shift at the top of the rankings from last week.
