Congratulations to the 2008 AL Champions Tampa Bay Rays!
That was a roller coaster of a series against the Red Sox, and I was sweating bullets when Maddon left Price in for the ninth inning. But the southpaw from Vanderbilt pulled through and the Rays are playing against the Philadelphia Phillies for the championship.
The coldest story was to be told tonight. The Rays were done. History was against them, but history doesn’t play baseball. This team has shown again and again how true that is. This was freaking amazing series and frankly you couldn’t ask for more emotion and drama. Four more wins. That’s all we need. Four more wins.
Matt Garza had his best start all season. David Price finished off the job and got the Rays the American League pennant. The Rays have done it!
The first game of the World Series will be Wednesday at The Trop. That still looks weird to type.
