There are two days remaining in the 2011 Major League Baseball regular season. In the American League, AL East rivals Tampa Bay and Boston are tied for the Wildcard lead. Boston has officially blown a lead after their loss in Baltimore on Monday to the Orioles. The last place Orioles looking to play spoiler. Meanwhile the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the AL East champion Yankees to pull even in the Wildcard standings. Tampa has everything to gain and nothing to lose, meanwhile Boston with their off season moves have everything to lose and little to gain. They were supposed to make the postseason some way shape or form. Could you imagine the madness in Red Sox nation, if Boston fails to make the playoffs. Tampa is showing the same grit with their in expensive roster, that they showed in 2008 when they won the AL East and AL Pennant. Tampa then fell to Philadelphia in 5 games during the Fall Classic. It'll be an interesting final two days, be prepared for a possible one game playoff, you never know.
