Jacoby is Ready for the Rays

Now that the Angels are in the rear view mirror it is time to focus on the Rays. The bad blood is there and it makes for an interesting match-up. Jacoby Ellsbury is ready for the challenge:

We've seen the Rays 18 times already this year, and we're excited to see them again in the ALCS. We're excited to go down there and try to get to the World Series.

Tampa Bay had a tremendous year, but we're excited to go down there and take a shot at it.
We get a couple of days off now, and we'll be ready to go again on Friday night in Game 1 of the ALCS.

The Red Sox go into the series with the experience to go the long haul. The ALCS has been a minefield for the Red Sox in recent years so don't expect a smooth ride. The days ahead will be full of joy and heartache but Boston has the tools to come through in the end.
