Positives from negatives

There are few positives to take out of the weekend for Tampa sports fans, but we'll have a go.

First, the comeback of Cadillac Williams to the Bucs offense. True, he was part of an outfit which lost 34-21 to Dallas and never looked like doing anything but, but the very fact that Williams was there at all should give Tampa fans some hope this season.
Williams ran for 97 yards, combining with newcomer Derrick Ward (12 carries, 62 yards) to lead a ground game that produced 174 yards on 31 carries. "The loss just spoiled everything," Caddy said. "I didn't come to stand out as an individual and lose ballgames. I'm a winner, and this team is a winner. Unfortunately, we lost, but the team is going to get better."
Er, whatever you say old boy.
And if you follow the Rays, well, take heart in the notion that now the only way is up for a beleaguered team which has now gone 11 straight without a win after dropping both games of a doubleheader to the Red Sox, 3-1 and 4-0, for their 10th and 11th losses in a row.
That's the longest losing streak in the majors this year, and it has dropped the Rays to 12 1/2 games behind the Red Sox just two weeks after they looked like viable contenders for the AL's wildcard playoff berth.
"It's embarrassing," said James Shields after taking the loss in the second game. "Eleven losses is embarrassing. It's not fun right now. We've got to play better baseball from here on out … and end our season on a high note."
Well, and here is the only positive I can find, at least the Rays are above .500 (one game above at 72-71, but above none the less) and have 19 games remaining to add some of those high notes Shields is referring to.
Hands up who thinks they are going to...
