Click the play button below to hear Joe McDonald's comments, recorded this morning, just as he was arriving in Tampa. The topics: excitement in Tampa Bay over the Red Sox-Rays series, the Rays' success playing in front of big crowds, and Rocco Baldelli and Dan Wheeler facing the team they grew up watching.

Here's some of what Joe said about Baldelli and Wheeler:

"[Baldelli] is one of the best stories in baseball this season. Here's a kid that back in spring training didn't think he was ever going to play baseball again, and now not only is he back playing, but contributing and contributing in a big way. And the same thing can be said for Dan Wheeler. Sometimes we kind of overlook Dan because of Rocco's past success, but Dan has played a real important part with the team this year, basically as their closer. So both of those guys will be fun to watch and fun to talk to this weekend."
