Rays continue to ache, lose James Loney to DL

And now, a word about your still-in-first-place Tampa Bay Rays: Ouch. In a season right out of M*A*S*H, the Rays were aching a little more Monday than they were 24 hours earlier. Three players joined the hobbled masses, most notably middle-of-the-order hitter James Loney, who went on the disabled list with a left middle finger fracture. He expects to be out for 4-6 weeks.

On such days, you think. “This! This is a first-place team!” Then are days such as Sunday, when hitting is cold and the pitching is frayed, when you look at them and shrug.
