Rays Tank: Elimination Part 1

Welcome to the Rays Tank, where the Rays have finally been eliminated from the AL East race but are still somehow in wild card contention, and the tanks still look ridiculous with Mike Dukakis in them.

Speaking of blowing huge leads, it was four years ago when it started looking like the Rays might actually be able to reel in the floundering Red Sox. And it was exactly four years ago today when Matt Moore made his first start against the Yankees. He was brilliant.

The 15-8 win (only as close as it was because Dane De La Rosa gave up six runs after the lead got to 13-0) pulled the Rays within two games of Boston with six games left to play.
