Can the Rays pitching overcome that?

If the Rays can stay within 7 runs heading into the eighth, they should be fine.

Delonte West is working at a furniture store.
I dig the part on Delonte's application where it asks if he's ever been convicted of a crime and if so to explain it in detail and he wrote 'misunderstanding'. That's awesome!

The 6-year-old son of the Rangers fan who died in a fall is throwing out the first pitch in today's playoff opener.

Might have a tougher time in the playoffs ... I doubt Joe Girardi's uncle will get many more innings of work after the last Rays game.

Cooper Stone, the son of the man that died at the Ballpark in Arlington earlier this season, throws out the first pitch of this afternoon's Rangers/Rays game. Wow.

Did I hear this right this morning? As a team, the Texas Rangers have a OPS of .925 in September? How can that be? That's what you call "team hitting" there, my friends.
