Of course, the guy who couldn’t do shit with his bat even though he knew what pitch was coming sucks even worse on an even plying field. f*** you Reddick

 

[darko]

Well done Rays

 

[PBandJ]

Suck it ya cheaters!

 

[Terry Yake]

thank you, rays-the entire baseball world outside of houston

Rays are the ones who made history. No ones ever lost games 4, 5, and 6 and won the series

Very Rays-like....doing it THEIR way.

Luck is bound to change right? I said it last night but I'm still nervous about McCullers. Ideally they start Urquidy on short rest and hope they build a lead. Then have McCullers come in to finish it off. Don't think he'll be happy though and I'm sure Dusty isn't thinking like me and McCullers will start. Hopefully on a short leash.

Well, looks like you were right about McCullers, and I nailed the prediction on the series. Said Tampa would win in 7, that Houston would make them work for it, and they certainly did. Fun series to watch and Tampa will be a handful for either LA or Atlanta for sure.

Now don't be offended if the Sox come in during the offseason and take Springer off your hands

Dang, not watching didn't work. Going out for 10 km jog didn't work. Nothing worked

Congrats @TropicalFruitGirl2 Best of luck in the World Series. I'll be cheering for Tsutsugo although I'll doubt he plays and Morton, even though he ruined our dreams.

If this was the last of Reddick, Brantley, and Springer. Thanks for your services. But please don't leave us!!

Good series between our teams.
At the end of the day, one of us was going to be disappointed, but doesn't take away from the fact that what looked like a runaway for TB turned into a damned good 7 game set, due to Houston not folding their tents!

And nice chatting it up with ya!

Better the White Sox then the Red Sox. Red Sox is my prediction for Springer.

Hey Correa! What do you think we are saying now? BUHBYE!!!

Nice chatting with you as well. Not sure if I'll watch the World Series so not sure if I'll he posting in the World Series thread. If not, hopefully we meet again next season.
Take care

Dream is still alive for the Tri Cities of the Tampa Bay area to be a double champion destination!

Congrats Rays!! Made it far closer than I would've liked for sure, but got there in the end. Good luck in the WS vs Braves/Dodgers!!

Unlike our favorite Stanley Cup playoff commercial, History will NOT be made

Not since 1933 has a team won the WS and SC in the same year(Yankees, Rangers), to my knowledge, the tri city sweep of WS, SC and SB has never happened.

That is cool that our teams have a chance to do that.

Not so sure the Bucs can do it this year in the NFL...but hey, I would really be happy with a Lightning-Rays double title!

 

[c9777666]

OK, maybe the path we took to get here was surprising (3-0 to 3-3), but...... if someone had said before this series the Rays would win in 7, would we have been THAT surprised?

[c9777666]

And irony, this one came against the team his first 2 came with

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Arozarena can cut a promo on the mic as well!

Better the White Sox then the Red Sox. Red Sox is my prediction for Springer.

If it is Boston I hope it's a 10 year / 350 mill contract.

I don't see it. They need to spend their $ to rebuild their horrible pitching staff.

 

[JWK]

Nice job by the Rays for taking out the trash.
