Tampa Bay Rays' ALCS Potential Clinch Game

The Rays have truly been a miracle. Not only have they broke .500 for the first time in team history, but they also got their first taste of the playoffs. After the best two games in Rays history in front of some of the loudest home crowds in history, we now head to Chicago, looking to wrap up our first series win. What a season of firsts.

Time to break out the champagne for the third, and hopefully not the last time. I'm not saying today is a lock. We've had our share of problems against John Danks, so we will have to see. If we can't pull out of Chicago with any wins, we get to come back to THE PIT for Game Five. Not a bad thing.

I will get lineups posted as soon as they come out. Get ready to support your Rays in their run. GET LOUD. Now we need 9=4.

 

Potential ALCS matchups

Boston leads series 2-0, so we will most likely face them, but the Angels can come back. If Boston wins the series, we secure home-field advantage for the rest of the playoffs. (Remember, A.L. got the All-Star Game). We love home-field advantage. Teams are scared in the PIT. Rarely do visiting teams ever win in the PIT.
