Eleven seasons. 1,033 losses. And the Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs.
We can't think of a better story in baseball since Sosa and McGwire chased and caught history in 1998. Probably the best season in sports since the New Orleans Saints captured the affection of a battered city in 2006. Last to first is trite as hell, but Tampa was a fucking doormat for years, and they started to believe, have a wealth of young talent, and shit, they're in the playoffs!
Go Tampa! Go Rays! World Series or bust! We're getting our playoff mohawk tomorrow.

Enjoy it now, they'll be back to their 70 win seasons next year.
too bad this news has been totally overshadowed by all the Yankee Stadium hoopla.
