Rays have proved point

At the all-star break, I wrote that the Red Sox and Yankees would make the playoffs and the Rays would wilt under the pressure in September.

 

Wrong!

 

In September, I still figured they didn't have enough to hold off the superpowers.

 

Wrong!

 

The Rays not only won the division, they cruised past the White Sox in four games to advance to the American League Championship Series to face my beloved Boston Red Sox.

 

OK Tampa Bay, you've proved your point. We'll all remember your magical run. Now it's time to go away and let us watch the Red Sox go for their third Series title in five years.

 

Wishful thinking.
