It would put all the more pressure on the upcoming series against the Sox. It would definitely put doubt in players' heads. And that leads to losing. Just look at the record after the the most recent swept series against the Sox. The bigger and IMHO more realistic question is how would the Rays respond to a sweep or even losing 2 of 3? They have not been playing at the level of NY and BOS and they could take a big step out of contention.

@ Corey:
Exactly why I think we’ll get a 5th even if we sweep Tampa.

If CC, AJ, and Joba cant get it done, we have bigger problems than a 5th starter.

The optimists will shrug it off and look ahead, and the pessimists will freak out and call the season done. This happens with pretty much every loss we have.
