ARLINGTON, Texas — The Rays still have got a long way to go and a short time to get there if they're gonna do what they say can't be done.
If the Smokey and the Bandit paraphrase doesn't work for you, then let's try another theatrical reference.
How about the Rays forcing the A's into the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid role, looking down at their relentless pursuers, asking in frustration,
"How can they do that? … Who are those guys?''
We went to the video because if the Rays somehow pull this off, there might be another movie worth making.
