I was wrong.
It’s hard to believe, I know.
Philadelphia won the World Series on Wednesday night and I didn’t see it coming.
There was something almost magical about the Tampa Bay Rays in the postseason. Beating the Red Sox in game seven of the American League Championship Series, Tampa took all of the momentum and promptly wasted [...]

About 12 hours later, we’re still tied in the 6th.
Thanks to a B.J. Upton steal in the slop and a Carlos Pena hit to left field, the Tampa Bay Rays stay alive in the World Series.
Needing to win three games to take home the trophy, Tampa may actually sit in the catbird seat whenever [...]

It’s a safe bet to assume that the tournament hasn’t started yet.
Sitting a day away from the [...]
