The Rays have done it! A victory last week secured St. Petersburg’s MLB squad a spot in the wild card round against the Oakland Athletics.

Could they win the World Series this year?

We won’t venture a guess. We’ll leave the speculation to the experts (and the comment section). But win or lose, it’s an exciting time to be a Rays fan.

Some worried the drama surrounding the team’s stadium, and a potential move to Montreal, would distract the team during the season.

NOPE. 

The Rays were determined and they played their hearts out. It’s a well deserved postseason trip for the team, and a joyous occasion for the Rays most loyal fans who show up to Tropicana for each and every home game.

Oakland is a tough team to beat, and the Rays will have to do it on the road. It could just be one and done. For now, we’re hopeful.
