Ding Dong, the wicked witches of the east are dead!
Um, holy crap the Rays just won the AL East! Admittedly in anti-climatic fashion, but who cares. They won the division! I’m really glad they clinched the playoff spot at home so they could celebrate with the fans.
I totally got all choked up watching Kurk’s Ray gem this morning on sportcenter. I am so in love with these guys right now. I love how they all sounded wasted in their interviews last night. Honestly, I love every single thing about them.
However, I refuse to gush, or sing praise or fawn until the season is over. That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate where they are right now. I made pancakes in their honor! It just means it’s not over yet. Plus I’m way superstitious, so I’m not going to get all cocky and wreck everything. I’ll leave that to the Red Sox fans.
Two more games and then on to the playoffs. Who will they play? Who do we want them to play? That’s a tough call. On the one hand I like the Twins, and want them to make the playoffs. Then Those Girls would get a chance to see Barty again, which I understand would be a major bonus for them. On the other hand, I like the Twins. It is way easier to root against the bad guys when they are actually, you know bad guys. The White Sox fit that bill.
As for the actual baseball side of it. The White Sox have a couple of good left handed pitchers, which the Rays struggle with, but the Twins are just pesky. I guess we’ll just leave it up to the baseball gods.
The game tonight should be interesting. Go Rays!! Winners of the AL East. Phenomenal!
