The Rays don't know any more about Tropical Storm Fay's path than anyone else, but they are operating under the presumption that Monday's game with the Angels will be played and Tuesday's game may not be, with the hope of resuming the series on Wednesday.

"We're playing the game on Monday,'' Rays president Matt SIlverman said. "If the storm maintains its current path Tuesday would be in doubt and then we'll make a call on Wednesday based on Tuesday. We're in communication with the league and with the Angels about it, and we're hopeful we're going to get the series in. Two out of three is the most likely case but with the unpredictability of the storms it's pretty much a wait-and-see game.''

A decision on Tuesday's game likely will be made Monday night, he said.

Silverman said there is a chance, albeit unlikely, of playing a doubleheader on Wednesday (which would be the second in Tropicana Field history). More likely, the Angels would return on Sept. 1, which is a mutual off-day for both teams. "We know there's a time we can make up the game, or games.''

The Angels traveled to the Tampa Bay area on Sunday night, though Silverman said there was "a possibility" they could leave the area after Monday's game and go to Atlanta or Miami and wait to see what happens - "it all depends on the path of the storms.''
