Prepare for the Apocalypse: The Rays are Going to the World Series

Holy shit.

The Tampa Bay Rays (nee Devil Rays) have beaten the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS to advance to the freaking World Series.

I don't know how many MamaPop readers actually follow baseball, but the Rays have never ever had a winning season before. Ever.

I'm serious. Before this year they had never gone to the post season. They never even finished about .500. I could go into details about how they have one of the lowest payrolls in Major League Baseball or how strong their division is or how the ownership never invested much into the team in the past but I would probably bore this crow to death. Instead I will say this, the butt of all baseball jokes for years is going to the Worlds Series and they just might win this thing.

Cinderella story? Sure.

Is this the one way to get me to actually watch baseball on tv. Yes.

Buy gas masks and quickly accept Jesus Christ as your savior because this is the first sign of end of times? Absolutely.

This is the sports equivalent of Britney Spears releasing a well written song or Ashton Kutcher winning a Tony for his moving performance as Hamlet.

(Note to self: learn photoshop so you can make an image of Kutcher holding a skull.)

But I digress... The Tampa Bay Rays are going to the World Series.
