Rays Try To Advance To 2008 World Series

Stephen Kersey — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 05:22:01 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays had it in their grasps. Leading the series against the Boston Red Sox 3-1, the Rays had a 7-0 late in Game 5. However, with multiple heroic hits by the never say die Red Sox, Boston was able to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in postseason history by winning the game 8-7.

Even though the Rays still lead the series 3-2, it appears as if all the pressure is now on the Rays to advance. Previously, the Rays were able to play free and easy. It will be interesting to see what happens now that the Rays feel pressure — for perhaps the first time all season.

After coming back from an 3-0 deficit against the New York Yankees, the Red Sox have been known as a team that never gives up. Their current situation may seem bleak but it compared to the 3-0 hole they dug out of, it’s a walk in the park.

Will the Tampa Bay Rays be able to beat the Boston Red Sox in Game 6 to advance to the 2008 World Series? Find out on Saturday at 8:07 PM ET.

Here is the highlight video of Game 5 of the Rays versus the Red Sox if you missed it:

On Monday, both the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays advanced in the American League playoffs. The two AL East teams will now play each other, with the Rays having home field advantage in the best of seven series.

To advance, the Red Sox got a big hit from rookie Jed Lowrie. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Lowrie delivered a series winning single against the Los Angeles Angels to end the game. Scoring the winning run was Jason Bay as the Red Sox won 3-2.

The Rays had a hero of their own on Monday night. BJ Upton hit two home runs — solo shots in the 1st and 3rd innings off of Chicago White Sox starter Gavin Floyd. Carlos Pena also chipped in with a 3-for-4 and two RBI effort.

The first game between the Red Sox and Rays will be on Friday at 8PM EST. Here is a Red Sox versus Rays video preview:

Tampa Bay Rays Tribute Song Video

If you have Tampa Bay Rays fever, you have probably heard a few Tampa Bay Rays tribute songs. Here is yet another Rays tribute song — accompanied by a video.

I suppose the title of this song is “Go Rays” since that what it repeats about thirty time during the song. I’m not sure who the singer is but he looks like he was about 75 when the Rays came into an existence. No doubt a lifelong fan.

Although this Tampa Bay Rays tribute song and video is amazingly corny, it’s worth at least one listen. And yeah, it is definitely hard to root against the Rays right now.

Here is the tribute song video:
