It's almost over for the Rays, in large part due to lose five of sevela games over the last few weeks to the Cleveland Guardians.A seven-game winning streak was sandwiched in the middle, but sitting around .500, losing 3 of 4 to a team with 20 games left does NOT help a team's playoff chances.Thanks so much for listening!
