NEW YORK -- For the past four or five days, the Rays' minds were focused on the powerful hurricane making its way toward Central Florida.
On Monday, for the first time in what felt like forever, Tampa Bay's players, coaches and staff could turn their attention back to baseball, hosting the Yankees in the first of three games at the Mets' Citi Field.
"It's not the most ideal situation, but it's definitely not the worst," pitcher Chris Archer said. "There's a lot of other places that could have been a lot worse. I'm happy the Mets allowed us to play here, and we're going to take full advantage.
