Shades of 1978
I remember that year - in August, the Yankees were 14.5 games out, and the season looked like it was over. One amazing month and a one game playoff later, and the red Sox were down.
Now:
The Rays' win came four minutes after Boston blew a one-run lead in the ninth at Baltimore and lost 4-3. The Red Sox, who held a nine-game lead over the Rays in early September, and Tampa Bay began the final day of the regular season tied for the wild card.
The Sox blew a late game lead tonight, and the Rays came back from 7 down (sadly, against the Yankees). However, I'm happy to be back to normality, where the Red Sox choke at the end of the season, and the Yankees win the pennant :)
