I couldn't care less who wins the Texas/Rays series... The RedSox really choked. Let's see if the Rays can redeem themselves from last years playoff loss. My gut feel is that they will beat the Rangers.

Rays nearing multiyear extension with manager Joe Maddon

aol.sportingnews.com

The Tampa Bay Rays are “closing in” on a multiyear contract extension with manager Joe Maddon, according to The St. Petersburg Times.

Maddon, who was voted AL Manager of the Year in 2008 and 2011, is under contract through only the 2013 season.

Since taking over as Rays skipper prior to the 2006 season, Maddon has compiled a 495-477 record. Tampa Bay has finished with a winning record in each of the past four seasons, with two A.L. East titles, a wild-card berth and an AL pennant in that span.

In the organization’s first World Series appearance in 2008, the Rays lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in five games.

Perhaps more impressive than Maddon’s record is the fact that he has guided the small-budget Rays to so much success in a division that features big-market franchises in the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.
