Robert Andino finishes the Red Sox season with a loss by hitting a single to left field scoring in the winning run. Now the Boston Red Sox can only make the playoffs if the New York Yankees can beat the Tampa Bay Rays in extra innings after blowing a 7-0 lead. Three minutes following the upsetting defeat of the Red Sox, Evan Longoria comes up to bad with the game tied 7-7. Instead of delaying the slay of the Red Sox, Longoria decides to finish it now. Blasting a line shot barely over the left field wall in fair territory. Winning the game 8-7, and making Boston fans choke on their chowder like they were the 2011 Boston Red Sox. Only day of the MLB season that baseball was actually exciting. Only took 162 games!

  • Even though the Tampa fans don't deserve a playoff team because they are among the worst fans and the phoniest band wagon jumpers in all of baseball..... I have to admit that it was fun watching the sox CHOKE!!!! Man I hate pedroia, varitek, youkalis and beckett. GO YANKEES!!!!!!
  • Unfortuneatly your comment is way off base (no pun intended)! First, Florida is a highly transient state. Hardly anyone who lives here was born here. Second, when these people move to Florida they already have their favorite teams well implanted in their heart and soul. Third, our teams are very new to the leagues they are in, whether it's, football, hockey or baseball. We love our Rays and you have no right to judge us just because the media likes to blast us. I don't judge you! Show respect to the loyal fans and believe me when I say, WE ARE MANY!
  • OK I respect the loyal fans, all 2000 or so. You watch, the playoff games will be sellouts and all 50,000 plus SO CALLED fans will claim they were loyal to the team all season long, simply not true. I'm a Yankee fan but I live in Arizona after a military career. The Diamondbacks came into the league the same season as the Rays, and their is no comparison as far as a loyal fan base is concerned. AZ is a state made up of people from other places as well. So sorry but your argument doesn't hold water.
  • AWWWWW isn't that a damn shame, the Rays only get to sell out 2 home games this season with their band wagon jumping front runner fans. MLB should take this franchise away from Tampa like they did with the Expos in Montreal.
