I will be there today watching the Rays get their first ever post season win!!

as a met fan, i thought i would only qualify for a post season thread if the title was "who chokes the most down the stretch and doesn't make it to the post season". but all that changed today. apparently, i also qualify if the title is "guess which choking team rewards their gm with a multi-year extension". but i posted this here because i just can't bring myself to start a thread and be the only one who qualifies to post there. oh well, there's always next decade.

Well, how was it?!!!!!

Yes, I want a report too!

I listened to part of it on the way home and only caught the last inning on TV.
Were you close enough to hear what Balfour was yelling at Cabrera
(that was the best Rays strikeout all year )



And Longoria... that kid is just amazing....

It was awesome, the place was packed and it was rocking. I only spotted 4 Sox fans in my section and the sections on either side. They came to life briefly in the 3rd, but shut up and sat down pretty quickly! Couldn't hear Balfour because of the noice in the place. The energy was amazing, we had a blast!!

Longoria is incredible, hall of fame is in his future.

Sorry I couldn't update last night, went from work to the game, from the game to the high school for a practice, and then home at about 9:00pm for a quick dinner before becoming unconscious.

There's only 8 true Sox fans in Chicago, so 50% of them in Tampa is pretty good!

How about those Cubbies?! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Billy, I guess if half of them made the trip that is pretty good representation!

As far as the Cubs, OUCH!! Drop the first two at home, gotta be hard to get on that plane and make that trip to unfriendly territory!! Although from what I heard it didn't seem Chicago was real friendly territory either!

WoooHooo!!! Up by 2!!!

That was a great game!
Nice to see Kaz calm down & what hustle from Baldelli for that last run!

Sorry to say, but the W Sox look old and slow against the Rays - wait, who doesn't?

Who Hoo!!!! Go D-Rays! I am glad for them.

Jimmy got a hit and an RBI, so that's great. And Paul Konerko is obviously on a very bad downhill slide in skills. Man, he's been like a vacuum sucking the wind out of their sails, except for about one week, all season! He obviously has to go.
But wait the White Sox still will suck.

How about those Red Sox?! I guess there is something to this postseason experience thing?! Been there, done that, perhaps?

CUBS LOSE! CUBS LOSE! CUBS LOSE!

Darn it, have to wait another day to see if the Rays get to move on. Hopefully only one more day!!

And hopefully Jim Thome hits 2 home runs and the Sox lose 11-2!

Done deal, moving on to the AL championship series, way to go Rays!!

Now, will it be the other sox or the angels???

I am very happy with the Rays
I will even give credit to lackadaisical Upton for his two homers tonight.

Funny how the media is saying some things tonight that some of us where saying in the spring

The ALCS against the Red Sox will be a tougher series...
