With the second worst record in the AL at the All-Star break, are the Rays officially out of playoff contention?
The Rays are going through the worst stretch of play in their history. With a record of 34-54, the Rays would need a miracle to get back into contention. And oh yes, it's happened before.
How do they compare at this point in their season to some of the other "Miracle Teams" in seasons past?
Perhaps the most famous Miracle team was the 1951 Giants, . That team, managed by Leo Durocher, started out losing 12 of their first 14 in April.
