Phillies in the lead now 4-3 in the 13th. Braves trying for greatest collapse if Boston misses it. ---

Rays and Sox both have rallies going now. It appears the Braves went quietly. ---

The Braves lose, completing their collapse. St. Louis wins the wild card. The Braves have set a new major league record for the biggest lead blown in September. If the Red Sox lose tonight or tomorrow, of course, the record won’t last long, but the Rays-Yankees game is still going. Rays and Yanks going to the 12th. Holy moly. ---

The kid Catcher ([Lavarnway](http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/players/playerpage/1799267)) killed the rally and is 0-5 for the day. Ouch. From Hero to Zero so quick. Lets see what the O’s have left to keep this interesting. ---

Yanks turn with a lead off single. Meanwhile Papelbon has to get just 3 outs. ---

Wow Golson just made a terrible base running blunder getting caught off 3rd on a grounder. Os have runner on 2nd but 2 outs. ---

The Yankees have tied a major league record (as far as I can tell) by using 11 pitchers in the game. ---

Which team was playing for a pennant? That is some celebration for the O’s. ---

Woohoo!!! Let’s Go O’s! Again. Andino’s now beaten Papelbon twice in the space of about a week. It’s so satisfying seeing all the bummed-out Red Sox fans at Camden Yards. 🙂 ---

Robert Andino, of course. Unbelievable. And we thought there’d be no pennant races. My goodness. HOLY SHIT!!! LONGORIA HOMERS! RAYS WIN! SOX CHOKE! ---

and Longoria ends the Sox season. I was hoping for some baseball tomorrow. Oh well. Nice for the Mets to get some company. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2011/594832.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlb-september-2011/594832.md?page=9)
