Rays... From Worst To First

MLB fans across the nation are witnessing something special this October. As a matter of fact baseball fans have witnessed a special season by a special team here in 2008.
When Joe Maddon took the reigns in Tampa at the beginning of the year no one expected anything major from the team, but Joe thought otherwise. He brought a winning mentality into the clubhouse and got the Rays thinking they were the real deal.
All year long the Rays stayed ahead of the pack in the AL East, but no one thought they would continue to stave off the baseball giants of New York and Boston. However they proved people wrong and in the last week of the season they were able to clinch sole possession of the AL East for the first time in team history.
With a young and inexperienced team many people thought the Rays would falter in the playoff, but Joe Maddon got them to play good, sound, fundamental baseball, and with today's 6-2 victory over the White Sox in Chicago, the Rays are going to the American League Championship Series for the first time in team history.
GO JOE!
