We had to wait for it. The Rays didn’t manage to clinch until the first game of the last series of the season. But now that it’s all locked up, doesn’t it feel good?
Third place in the American League East, baby.
That sounds like a joke, but no, actually, it does feel kind of good. I don’t know that we need to run up a banner or anything, but I’m pretty happy to see my team finish in front of Baltimore and Toronto. Definitely happier than I’d be watching them finish behind Baltimore and Toronto. Pride is funny thing.
