I ended up getting a C in a class because of that ALCS. Those last 4 games I was supposed to be studying for a HUGE test and instead was pulling my hair out and on my knees praying.Good game yesterday, the Rays need to learn not to get too comfortable in the later innings, even if there's a large lead. It's not over til it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be close. Losing to a team you were up to 7-0 in an elimination game could do a lot to a teams momentum. I was at game 1 and game 7 of that infamous Yanks/Sox series. I hate both teams so much it wasnt even fun. Go Rays!!! please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yanks were 1 out away from sweeping, so there is no way this would be a bigger choke. But it would be pretty dam big. Probably leave the perception that the season was a bust.

Keep reaching.well it was the biggest comeback in a playoff game. Good job Tampa Bay.The seven-run deficit was the largest overcome in a postseason game since Game 4 of 1929 World Series, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.In that one, the Philadelphia Athletics trailed by eight before a 10-run seventh inning powered them past the Chicago Cubs 10-8. Depends on whether or not you consider a world series game a playoff game or not. Technically it is a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
