Right.

But then you go to Tampa.

You know, that's a, a mediocre to bad outfit, and you had to scramble to win that.

Carolina's okay, but not amazing.

Pittsburgh, you know, a, a quality win, no doubt.

Dennis Manoloff, host of Sportsline, what do you, what do you make of 25 out of 30 saying the Rays are gonna clean us up in five, at the most six games?

Only 10 teams in Major League Baseball history have come back from an 0-2 best of five, but why not make it 11?

I just need evidence, uh, to talk me off the ledge.

I, I need reason to believe.

Like I, I just don't, I don't see it.

Um, I'm try- I'm not trying to be pessimistic.

I just don't see any signs that this team is going to, uh, stem the tide and, and is gonna upset, uh, you know, the White Sox right now.

The White Sox are in such a rhythm.

Would you feel comfortable going with Espino, a rookie, in a game that either ends your season or pro- or, or prolongs it?
