Let me apologize ahead of time for any typos. I have never written a recap through tears.
It’s great to win the ALDS, of course! Fans of any team heading to the next level are excited.
But to win the rubber game...like this? LIKE THIS? This is Game 162 kind of special. Savor it, friends. In the midst of a very tough year the Rays have given us a moment of pure joy.
I swear I took careful pitch by pitch notes. But the overall drama of this game — the pitching, the dramatic finish — overwhelms any desire for dissection.
