Watch the free live stream online TBS game 3 Monday in what could be a great pitching duel.

"You've got to respect these guys," Cobb told MLB.com over the weekend. "If you don't respect them, you're not going to respect anybody. They're a tough, tough ballclub from top to bottom. They've got everything covered, it seems like. It's going to take everybody's 'A' game every night to try to take this series."

If Tampa loses, it means this young franchise will again not win its first World Series, though manager Joe Maddon knows it can still be done.

"We just went through a week of backs against the wall, so it's not new to us," Maddon said of a Rays team that won three elimination games in three different cities before advancing to play Boston. "It's going to be difficult. There's no question it's going to be difficult ... but I don't think it's impossible by any means. We've been in this boat in the past and we've forced Game 5s in those situations, also. So Boston this time of the year is kind of lovely, and I'm looking forward to coming back in a few days."
