## Resource

The Tampa Bay Rays are off to a mind boggling start of their 2026 season and they are doing it with speed, guile and intelligence. Sully looks at the first place Rays and contrasts them to the slumping Yankees, who lost a game where they had a no hitter in the 7th inning. And isn't the parade of unlikely teams near the top supposedly what everyone wants in baseball?
