The Tampa Bay Rays Are Playing the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2008 World Series
Ranked #8,699 in Sports, #196,020 overall
Is it Joe Maddon's Coaching Style?
Nike Tampa Bay Rays Navy Blue 2008 Practice T-shirt
The Rays are currently facing the The Philadelphia Philles, and are down in the series 2 games to 1.
They beat out the Chicago White Sox 3-1 and have now eliminated the Boston Red Sox, 4 games to 3, to confront the Philadephia Phillies in the World Series.
They had to beat out the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox, and the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East with a 97 wins and 65 losses.
The only players that I could tell you about off the top of my head are speedy Carl Crawford, another speedster BJ Upton, and Reliever Troy Percival.
There is speculation that it might be Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches that have put them in first place, and kept them there. It keeps you light on your feet and makes you want to play harder.
Or is it Joe Madden's basic coaching style? Could it be that he has managed to bring a team of young raw talent together to play each game as though it were the last.
What ever the Rays do for the rest of the season, this season has been a success.

Is it Madden's coaching Style
"You play the game the same regardless of the date of the year, regardless if it's March 15 and you run the catcher over, or it's July 15 and you're playing somebody, or it's October 15 and you're in a playoff game," explained Joe Madden. He contined "You get used to playing that way on a daily basis. Then as the season's in progress and you get to the end of the year, you don't have to try to do anything differently. Everybody keeps talking about big series and big games. They're all the same. When you treat them with the same respect, you have your best chance of winning the most games."He has taken a team of nobodys, and turned them into a winner. A team from it's inception as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, in 1998 til 2007, they have never had a winning season.
