You'll have to excuse the Tampa Bay Rays if they seem a bit confused at the moment. You see, they're new to this whole phenomenon that is postseason baseball. Generally, the last day of September means the end of six months of suffering a slow death in the AL East, but this year it just symbolizes the beginning of a whole new season.

Of course, to make things even more confusing, the Rays know their first ever playoff game will be on Thursday, but they don't know who they're going to be playing against just yet. So right now members of the Rays organization are scrambling to get the team and Tropicana Field ready for playoff baseball, and it's totally messing with their free time.

"It's wreaked havoc with tee times, and with football schedules and everything like that but what a great position to be in," said Rick Nafe, Rays V.P of Operations and Facilities. "It's my first time in this business going into post season play with the team that I'm involved with so I'm excited. It's a lot of work but it's a lot of fun work."

Golfing: The hidden victim of playoff baseball.

Yes, I'm fully aware that Nafe wasn't really being serious and complaining about it, I just found it funny that the first thing he'd say when asked about preparing for the playoffs is that it's totally messing with his golf schedule. Sounds like a typical Rays fan to me.
