Joe Maddon, the Rays, and the IL Playoffs

Every now and then something comes along to jolt me out of my little fantasy world in which I think that the folks down in that jukebox between the beach and the bay actually know we’ve got a great team here and maybe they care something about how our season’s going. This comes along from a Bill Chastain item on the Rays website.

Maddon said more players will be called up at the end of the week and next week. But the Rays won’t be leaving players at Durham just to help the Bulls in the International League playoffs.

“We’re not going to leave people there we want here,” Maddon said.

Nice to know what Joe Maddon really thinks about the Bulls and the Governor’s Cup.
