Time to establish Sunshine State supremacy...
They did it the hard way again, but the Rays are heading back to the World Series for eighth time in the last eleven seasons and looking to win their second straight and fifth overall after an 8-1 win in Game 7 of the ALCS over Detroit. A 5-run second inning gave
Joe Marlette the kind of lead you knew he wouldn't lose, and the game was in little doubtt most of the way. And the Rays even got
Joe Stack, their top-tier 1B prospect who was added to the roster when
Nate Strickland went on the IL, into a game to make his MLB debut. They'll now face the Miami Marlins as the baseball world turns its attention to the State of Florida.
