in Sports/Top Headlines by

For much of the year, fans have debated whether David Price of the Boston Red Sox was the worth his paycheck. After Tuesday night, they may give him a raise.

If there is anything that the worst streak in the history of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise has shown us, it’s that they know how to fall behind. Take Friday night’s loss (what else?) to the Boston Red Sox. The Rays fell behind in the first inning. They caught up. They fell behind again. They caught up again. They fell behind again. Why?
