Game 7 today was a thrilling baseball game that went just like you would expect any game 7 to. It was well-pitched, tense and very well-played and managed. More importantly, it saved us all from watching the stupid Sunday night football game between Seattle and Tampa Bay. Big sports day all around in Tampa, but which moron picked this game for Sunday night? I mean, even if Seattle was as good as originally thought and even assuming we didn't have to endure Seneca Wallace at QB, this was not a marquee match-up in my book.
Anyways, the Rays trailed 0-1 for most of the early innings, but got to Lester in the middle innings and scored just enough runs to win this game 3-1. Matt Garza out-pitched Jon Lester, but barely. The Rays bullpen did what it had to and David Price got them a 4-out save. It was all good in Tampa and it was strange to see all 30 year old front-office dudes on the stage. A modern-day, money-ball era team with a manager who is in to new-age stuff and flawed math. Nice to see them win. What the hell does 9 = 8 mean anyways? Now 9 = 2. Also great to see a new face represent the AL-East in the World Series. I thought this day may never come. Toronto has always been my hope for parity in that division, but Tampa surprised everybody this season. Now onto the World series.
