Row, Row fight the (Baseball) Power – Tampa Bay Rays has the Red Sox “nation” in mourning

It’s unfortunate, my baseball team The New York Yankees will not be playing for a 27th World Series Championship, but at least the Boston Red Sox will be joining them this year. Matt Garza (Yes, his last name begins with GAR) pitched an awesome game and as a result the Tampa Bay Rays will be in the World Series for the first time in their existence. While it’s cool to see the Rays in the series, I really could care less about them winning it or not. The only reason why me and many Yankees fans rooted for them is we wanted to see Boston fail HARD. After the unfortunate events of 2004 and the 3-1 comeback in 2007, seeing the Red Sox come back from 7-0 in the 7th of game 5 brought back horrible memories. This time, game 7 would not be lucky as inexperience won out.

So, Tampa Bay is getting to become quite a city of champions lately this decade. First it was the NFL’s Bucs in 2003, some hockey team from the nhl in 2004, will it be the Rays in 08? While they are not geographically in the same area, I hope that the Magic eventually get the golden touch of a Larry O’Brien trophy.

And now for your moment of zen…
