What about the Dodgers? Behind 3-1 in the series. Two must win games tonight.

Born and raised in Tampa, so I am a Rays fan since the beginning. Funny thing is, before the Rays came into existence, I was a Braves fan. They were the closest team to us way back when. Remember listening to Milo Hamilton calling the Braves games on radio (showing my age), back before the days of 24/7 cable TV coverage. As a kid, I got to go to lots of spring training games for the Reds, but my very first regular season game was Phil Niekro's retirement game when he signed a 1 game contract to retire as a Brave in 1987 I think it was.
So a Braves / Rays would be interesting to probably only me - I'm sure the network is dreading it for viewership numbers. If the Astros go on to win, I would only be happy for one member, Dusty Baker - love that guy as a player and as a coach!
