A Brief Reset
10:55pm- Here's what we know.
The Rays are gritty, gutty and whatever other overused adjective you want to apply. From 7-0 to 7-6 to the final strike and now a tie game. I imagine Scott Proctor, the Yankees ELEVENTH pitcher of the night will finish things up. Sorry about that Boston.
Red Sox game is scheduled to resume at 11pm with Boston ahead 3-2 in the 7th.
Texas won, so Detroit is coming to New York Friday (gulp) with the Tampa/Boston winner playing Texas.
The Cardinals won so the Braves must win. They are tied in the 12th inning right now.
Looks like Milwaukee will earn the #2 seed in the NL.
If you like baseball, get to a TV or computer, this is amazing!
And BL and I are chatting away in the comments, feel free to join.

Freeman should have aggressively gone for it.
Interesting call in Sox game at first, clearly safe

Yeah, not sure what the argument was.
Tough break on that liner by Pedroia, hit too hard. But, you are setup here.

Do the Braves have strong fan support in Atlanta? I have been led to believe that Atlanta fans care about UGA, G Tech, The Falcons and then other stuff.

As a Red Sox fan I think you should start a collection for Scott Proctor's medical bills. He's earned that from you guys tonight.

they got spoiled from '91-2005; yes, college football rules the south, no question. I didn't understand it when I first moved down here but I get it now even though I'm not a huge fan.
Losing to the Yankees in '96 killed this town. They (Braves) were the better team that got derailed quickly. Would have made the Braves kings of Atlanta for a long time.

Interesting. So we can blame Wohlers and a hanging slider for all of it?
And BTW- if you haven't been to UGA-UF, you are missing one of the great sporting events in the world.

Wohlers and Leyritz, yes.

That's my point I don't think anyone is coming in for Proctor it is him or a position player at this point.

I'm almost certain that there was no way he could have touched homeplate in that crowd. Umps should call him out on principle.
