This might be the biggest blow out of the first round. TAM in 3, possibly 4. Rangers did well in the AL West which is basically a AAA league at this point, they will live and die by Lee.
Rays are in the midst of a long dynasty, this is CCrawf's last season with them and his playoff performance could be a dealmaker to get that big $$$ next year in NY (Y vs. M).

i love how "smallball" has somehow been distorted to fit a sequence where a fifth batter crushed a ball off the wall in the deepest part of the stadium, failed to hustle and get to third, steals third and advances on a bad throw
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 01:32 (fifteen years ago)
Ha! Cruz showboating to second, stealing third, risking the third out w/ Kinsler up, no-looking Price, sleeping Longoria, airmailing Shoppach...
All we need is a head-first slide into first and someone craning his neck to watch the ball while running the bases. Then we'll have perfect fundamental baseball.

That was definitely sarcasm on my part.
