ALDS Preview - Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees Thu Sep 29 15:51:55 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - It's no surprise that the New York Yankees are back in the postseason for the 16th time in the last 17 years. However, it is a surprise that the Yankees not only won their 12th American League East title in that span, but that they enter this year's playoffs with more wins than any team in the American League at 97. Their quest for an unprecedented 28th World Series title begins on Friday when they open the best-of-five American League Division Series against the AL Central c

deficit to Boston as late as September 2 to overtake the Red Sox in the wild card standings on the season's final day in amazing fashion. With the Red Sox clinging to a one-run lead in Baltimore, the Rays rallied from seven runs down to the New York Yankees before pulling out a win in extra innings just minutes after Boston lost to the Orioles. "This team never quits," left-hander David Price said. "We didn't quit when we were 0-6 at the start of the season, we didn't quit in September, we didn

A few minutes later in St. Petersburg, Fla., Evan Longoria's solo homer in the 12th inning gave the Rays a hard-to-believe 8-7 win over the New York Yankees after they trailed 7-0 through seven.

Add that to the long list of collapses witnessed by generations of devastated Boston fans.

In 1974, the Red Sox led the AL East by seven games on Aug. 23, but went 7-19 after that and finished third,

Rays clinch AL wild card with stunning rally Thu Sep 29 03:11:00 2011 EST
A startling comeback on the final day of the regular season carried the Tampa Bay Rays back to the playoffs.

Their chances of claiming the AL wild card in jeopardy, the Rays rallied Wednesday night from a late seven-run deficit to beat the New York Yankees 8-7 on Evan Longoria's 12th-inning homer.

Throughout an improbable run for a third postseason berth in four years, manager Joe Maddon and his players talked about the unwavering faith they had in themselves and the prospect of making up ni

Rays, Cards win playoff spots in frenzied finish Thu Sep 29 03:09:00 2011 EST

Wild-card Wednesday lived up to its billing, and then some. Fans needed three TVs, and maybe a few cups of joe to see how it all turned out for Joe Maddon, Joe Girardi and Chipper Jones.

``One of the greatest days in baseball history,'' New York Yankees star Mark Teixeira said.

Minute by minute, inning by inning, the races took shape. One out to go, one strike to go. Then, it all fell apart. Startling comebacks, historic collapses.

And when Evan Longoria hit his second home run of the g

Tampa Bay's 8-7 win in 12 innings over the AL East-champion New York Yankees, coupled with Boston's final-inning collapse at Baltimore, boosted the Rays into the playoffs as the wild card team. Longoria's three-run homer highlighted a six-run eighth inning and Johnson's pinch-hit homer tight to the line in right fiel
Morrow aims to close out Jays' season vs. White Sox on high note Wed Sep 28 11:01:52 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Brandon Morrow tries to cap his campaign with a flourish this afternoon when the Toronto Blue Jays wrap up their season against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. After holding the New York Yankees scoreless for eight innings on September 18, the right-hander scattered two hits and did not give up a run over seven innings on Friday to Tampa Bay, as he improved to 11-11 to go along with a 4.78 ERA. He also struck out nine in the win and has fanned 17 in his last two
Rays hope to come up big again versus Yankees Wed Sep 28 11:01:18 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Rays shoot for a fifth straight win but, more importantly, try to extend their season this evening when they play the finale of a three-game series with the New York Yankees at Tropicana Field. The Rays were nine games behind Boston back on September 2, but thanks to an epic collapse by the Red Sox now find themselves tied with them atop the American League wild card standings with one to go. Tampa kept pace on Tuesday, as Matt Joyce's three-run blast proved to

is evening at Comerica Park. The Tigers will open the American League Division Series on Friday, but who they play is still to be determined. Detroit sits a game back of the Texas Rangers for the second seed in the American League behind the New York Yankees. Should they be in that position at the end of action tonight they would play the Yankees in the Bronx on Friday. However, a win and a Rangers loss in Anaheim tonight would give the Tigers home-field advantage against either Boston or Tampa
