Another night, another time a Red Sox starter can't through the fourth inning.:
Thanks to rookie catcher Ryan Lavernway, the Sox are up 5-3 through four.
I noticed there are more Red Sox fans than Orioles fans at the ballpark.
Rays win and the Sox are winning. Stays this way, the winner of tomorrow's game with the other team losing will win the WC; otherwise any other scenario (both winning or both losing) will lead to a 1 game playoff on Thursday.

Also, in the NL the Braves lost again and the Cardinals are losing to the Astros 6-5 in the 7th inning.
If the Cards come back and win, they'll be tied with the Braves going into the last day of the season.
Wow! Red Rox hung-on to win one in Baltmore this evening...should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
Now you'll find out what the yankees think about the Sox getting in the playoffs ....
Will they start a call up from the farm for the last game, or pitch someone thats capable of winning ?
Truth be told, IF I'M THE YANKEES, I don't want any part of the Rays (and their pitching) in the playoffs.
AND.........
N.L. Wild Card
Cardinals......89-72
Braves.........89-72
Wednesday Night:
Phillies (Blanton) at Braves (Hudson)- 7:10pm ET
Cardinals (Carpenter) at Astros (Myers)- 8:05pm ET
Bill, thats a very good point. I wouldnt want the Rays either but if your the Yankees I'd play the scrubs too. God forbid, Jeter, Tex, Grandson play and get hurt tonight. Even if Red Sox Nation doesnt like it, the Red Sox have nobody to blame but themselves. I mean the Red Sox havent been neck in neck with the Rays all year. The Red Sox had a 9 game lead on the Rays on September 2.
You'll get no argument from me.
The Yankees have EARNED the right to do whatever they want to do! They've completed all their heavy lifting, and are now reaping the rewards from that.
If the Red Sox or any fans don't like it...........tough!!!

Wow! I just got home after a couple really long work days and noticed Boston and Tampa battling in the late innings. Thank goodness I'm working 2-3 hours from home tomorrow so I watch the conclusion of both games.
