VINDICATION!
The Tampa Bay Rays have defeated the Boston Red Sox 4 games to 3 in the American League Championship Series. The final score was Rays 3, Red Sox 1. Matt Garza picks up his first ALCS MVP Award for his 2-0 performance in the series.
Tampa Bay, under shoe-in for Manager of the Year award, Joe Maddon, won 97 games during the regular season, a franchise record. (The previous record was 70 wins).
It was a tense series, with many ups and downs. I never felt comfortable as a fan watching these games. This is due to Boston's tremendous ability to come back regardless of the score. When Akinori Iwamura recorded the final out, I literally jumped for joy and threw my hands up in the air and screamed so loud, I'm sure my neighbors thought I was being beaten to death.
I've been a long time fan of the Tampa Bay Rays and I'm pleased beyond measure that they were able to pull of a ALCS victory over rivial Boston.
9 = 8? No.
9 = 4. Four wins to complete their Worst-to-First season and secure their first World Series title. To do so, however, they are going to have to beat a tough Philidelphia Phillies team who features a solid starting rotation led by Cole Hamels.
Whatever happens, we, the Fans, are in for a World Series that could very well go down in history as the best yet.
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays for their hard faught victory. And thank you for this. I know its special for you guys, but for me, a fan of the Rays since the beginning, its really special.
Congratulations and thanks again. Best of luck in the Fall Classic.
Go Rays!

You know, I'm not even thinking about the Braves right now, but, without digging to deep into our prospect bin, I would say, just off the top of my head, Rafael Soriano, Manny Acosta, and, if it were me, Jeff Francoeur.
I think its time to let Francoeur have a shot at success somewhere else. San Diego is as good a place as any.
That's my thoughts, at any rate.Thanks for commenting.
