Rays Fans Meet Hubris, Hubris Rays Fans
The Slanch Report — ... Talk about overweening pride. Hasn’t anyone told them the story of Icarus. I hope someone shows these to the Sox players. Again, it’d be one thing if this were a fan-made shirt. But it ain’t. You can purchase it through the Rays’ official team store on MLB.com. I simply don’t get it. Confident is one thing, cocky is OK too, but c’mon, you haven’t done a goddamn thing yet. I look forward to some drubbings now. Let’s GO SOX!

Fearless Rays-Sox playoff predictions
Red Sox Monster — ... 11. Beckett's stats, on the other hand, were stellar against the Rays. In five starts, he finished 2-1 with a 2.06 ERA, striking out 37 in 35 innings and holding opponents to a .209 batting average. That, of course, is Beckett pre-oblique problems. A return to form would go a long way toward making things easy on the Sox. Things will get chippy somewhere along the way. The Yankees the Rays are not, but the drama between the two teams is well noted. There's also recent developments like this T-shirt , which was endorsed by the team itself: That's right, Sox fans. It's on . ...

It's The Rays Turn To Assume Victory
RealClearSports - Blog — ... where they have developed a reputation for domination, but this is the first year the Rays have won more than 70 games, and already they have this attitude? It seems to me they are trying to convince themselves they can win. So, any curse Barstoolsports.com might have brought upon the Red Sox is completely eliminated by the official Rays shirt. Either way, this will provide a great opportunity to get a highly ironic shirt. The only question is; which one will it be? H/T: Home Run Derby

Tampa Bay Rays T-Shirt Says They'll Beat The Boston Red Sox [Blog Patrol]
FanIQ Blog — ... The Rays will beat the Red Sox in the ALCS. How do I know? This T-shirt told me so. [Home Run Derby] Kellen Winslow has a rather unfortunate injury involving balls, and not the ones you catch. [Deadspin] Former NHL goalie Clint Malarchuk just can't seem to stop nearly killing himself. [Rumors and Rants] Per our hockey post earlier today, Shania Twain might be dating Maple Leafs goalie Curtis Joseph, a.k.a. Cujo. My favorite potential name for the couple - Shanjo.

ALCS Time: Red Sox or Rays?
Intentional Foul — ... series. While the thinking is regular season games don’t mean much in the playoff — just ask the Angels — some Rays fans aren’t convinced. We love reminding them that the Rays have as many AL East titles in the last 11 years as the Red Sox and the Rays only sucked for 10 years, not 86. A good time should be had by all. Of course, it would help if the Rays don’t get as confident/cocky as these t-shirt makers. Things like that have a way of ...

New Rays T-Shirt Proclaims Dominance Over Boston Red Sox
Larry Brown Sports — ... something so bold. And you know, the Rays made me look bad for making them my W.S. pick after the Divisional round was completed. Everything they did well against the White Sox they failed to do against Boston — play solid defense and get clutch hits. They had Dice-K on the ropes and couldn’t come through, and Crawford misplayed that ball in left field. I have a feeling they have a ways to go before they can go around making such claims. Thanks to Home Run Derby who discovered the shirts at the ...

Tampa Bay Rays Still Have A Bit Of Youthful Arrogance [Mlb]
Deadspin — ... some fly-by-night homemade operation either, it's an MLB-sanctioned, "officially endorsed by the Rays" product. In other words, this is how the team wants to be represented. Only problem is, judging by last night's result, they might have played their hand as Evil Vanquishers a little too early. The above isn't just bulletin board material; it's what every Boston player should be wearing under their jerseys to remind them of how they've been disrespected.
