For the first time since they were rebranded as simply the Rays, they lost more than 90 games. Injuries can excuse only so many things, as the on-field product is clearly in need of several upgrades, and many of the off-field items -- none more important than a new stadium -- are still undecided.Whats goodDespite playing in one of the worst environments, according to fans, the Rays remain one of the more affordable attractions in sports, as they are in the top 25 for affordability and bang for the buck. Their average ticket price is about $10 below that of the rest of the league, and there is a limited amount of free parking most games, along with free parking for all vehicles containing four or more passengers on Sundays. You can bring your own food into the park, but concession prices -- $10 for a hot dog plus soda -- are relatively affordable if you dont. Once youre inside, there are a number of family-friendly attractions designed to keep the attention of younger fans, including the interactive touch tank in center field.Whats badIts a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to ownership and attendance, which rank 116th and 117th, respectively. Owner Stu Sternberg has not been willing to increase what is already a meager payroll, often using poor attendance as a crutch. Fans, meanwhile, say he needs to put more into the team before they will support with their own money. The poor condition and location of Tropicana Field do nothing to bridge the gap. The club has received permission to look outside of Pinellas County for a new home, but progress has come at a snails pace. This means the standoff between the ownerships bankroll and the fans wallets will continue indefinitely.Whats newOver the past few seasons, the Rays have been known for their overachieving group of young, likable players who, despite the size of their paychecks, were able to go toe-to-toe with the beasts of the East. They were led by a strong-willed manager who thought outside the box and was not afraid to speak out on any issue. That has all but gone out the window. Evan Longoria and Chris Archer are fine players and ambassadors, but beyond those two, there isnt much in terms of star quality. Kevin Cash, in his second year as manager, seems more likely to choose the safety of Joe Girardis binder than the quirkiness of Joe Maddons glasses, and the club fired its hitting coach, Derek Shelton, with just weeks left in the season. The result in these standings is not unlike the fall in the AL East: a whopping 44-spot drop in coaching and a 60-spot free fall for the roster.Next: Miami Marlins?| Full rankings Isaiah McKenzie Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court.
