Rays win AL Wild Card!

In a complete stunner tonight, the Rays overcame a 7-run deficit to win on Evan Longoria's walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning...mere moments after the in-stadium scoreboard announced that the Baltimore Orioles had managed an equally-stunning comeback over the Boston Red Sox, and that Tampa Bay could clinch the playoff berth with a win over the Yankees.

Tampa Bay will now travel to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers in the ALDS. Hopefully they will fare better than last season, when the Rangers beat them out in Game 5.
