This is it Tampa Bay, you are 4 wins away from advancing to your first ever World Series. And as in previous years, I believe this ALCS will be better than the World Series itself.
Dinner is cooking, the beer is chilling and at 8:30, I'm kicking the cat off the couch to settle in for what will be the first game of a great series. I have to skip the pregame show because the National Anthem will be sung by former American Idol runner up, human muppet, Adam Archuleta, pictured above. Is this all the Rays could dig up for this monumental moment in franchise history? A 90 pound waif who resembles Fozzy Bear when he was a cub? Ugh!
I've read online this afternoon that several hundred Red Sox fans are planning to congregate at Ferg's, the huge sports bar across the street from the Trop to watch the game and imbibe a few adult beverages. Good thing the St Pete Police Department is just down the street, and officers, feel free to use the taser on any obnoxious fans wearing red.
I'm predicting a 4-3 win tonight by the Rays in extra innings, and the Rays to win the series in 6 games.
