TAMPA, Fla. – It was an odd series in Houston, wasn’t it? The Rays outscored the Astros by an eye-opening 30-9, yet settled for a split of their four-game series. That’s what happens when 29 runs are scored in the two wins while Ryan Pepiot and Taj Bradley are left wondering why at least a little wealth was not spread in their direction during, respectively, Friday night’s 2-1 loss and Sunday afternoon’s 1-0 defeat.

Bill Walsh likened the preparation for the Tampa Bay Rays’ charity yard sale held Saturday to an average household’s spring cleaning. The many items collected range from mugs to shirts and everything in between. In the process, there might a surprise or two in the form of something that had been long forgotten about, but evoked a memory or two. “Everyone that does spring cleaning in their house, I think they find things they didn’t know they had,” said Walsh, the Rays’ chief business officer.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – When is a rainy morning a good morning for a yard sale? Why, of course, Saturday morning in a parking lot at Tropicana Field.

The Tampa Bay Rays were four games under .500 when they returned home from Miami on May 18, right where they were when they embarked on a two-city, six-game trip that began in Toronto. In other words, they broke even on the road. Job well done. However, home had not been sweet. In fact, they headed into their May 19 game against the Astros 11-17 at Steinbrenner Field. A loss that evening made it 11-18.
