Well, when it was 1-0 going into the eighth inning, you could almost certainly see where this one was headed. It just happened to take a couple of extra innings to finally end the way we all knew it would... With another blown lead, blown save, and eventual walk-off for the New York Yankees.
The Rays entered the day at .500 and ended the night below .500 for the first time since May 25th. The precipitous fall from just a half game back of the first place Yankees to a now staggering 9.5 games back in just over a month has been an agonizing watch.
