		<description><![CDATA[   There are a ton of rumors swirling around the Rays as the deadline approaches this Thursday and they&#8217;ve got everyone guessing as to what they&#8217;re gonna do. I know my stomach dropped Friday when I saw the Yankees had obtained Xavier Nady and Demaso Marte from the Pirates. I really wanted Nady and thought the Rays could&#8217;ve gotten him using some sort of package involvingguys like Edwiin Jackson, Jason Hammel, Jeff Niemann or Andy Sonnanstine. The Pirates need pitching and the Rays have some to spare, so what happened? It&#8217;s anybone&#8217;s guess. This is hard for me to swallow for two reasons. It really helps the Yanks, who are coming fast, and it blocked the Rays from the deal. They killed us twice so to speak. This all leaves me wondering what the Rays plan to do. They&#8217;re being linked to guys like Brian Fuentes, Ron Mahay, Clint Barmes (god no), Jason Bay (no way that&#8217;s going to happen), Matt Murton, Mark Texiera and Matt Holliday (just for fun on the last two). I&#8217;m getting more frustrated with this because they don&#8217;t seem to be actively trying to move a Jackson, Hammel or Sonnanstine the way they should be. When David Price [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   With the Rays offense struggling to push across runs, and the major need being a right handed bat to help out against lefties, this has to be Jonny Gomes last shot at production this year. I can understand why fans and even his teammates like him but his personality is not enough to keep him on the club. The Rays have been eyeballing guys like Xavier Nady, Jason Bay, Matt Murton and even Matt Holliday (not really). With the A&#8217;s throwing lefties at the Rays for the next three games Gomes has an opportunity to prove he can be that guy. At the start of the season we knew he would have limited playing time, we knew he was a defensive liability and with all that considered we counted on him to hit homeruns, especially against lefties. Mr. Gomes has disappointed in almost every way so far (he has done well stealing and running the bases) and it is time to show and prove. He says he&#8217;s a guy that needs regular playing time to get his swing right, what player doesn&#8217;t? All the excuses are gone now and he must start hitting. The Rays are winning more than [...]]]></description>
