Despite getting off to one of the worst starts in team history, the Red Sox were still nine games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays as late as September 2. The team, though, just went into an incredible freefall, and dropped 20 of their final 27 games before ending it all on Wednesday in the ultimate heartbreaker.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - 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.

| New York, NY (Sports Network) - It was a September to remember for all the right reasons for the Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals, and one to forget for the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves. Who would have thought the final playoff berths would be decided not only on the last day of the regular season, but also in extra innings and in incredibly dramatic fashion? That was the case in both leagues. In fact, the Red Sox and Rays were one strike away from Boston going to the playoffs, but s | |

Only moments after the stunning comeback win at Camden Yards, the Tampa Bay Rays finished off an even more improbable victory over the Yankees in 12 innings. That sent Tampa Bay to the playoffs as the American League wild card participant instead of the Red Sox, who ended a game back after an awful September. Jonathan Pap | |

Texas will face the American League wild card winner - either the Boston Red Sox or Tampa Bay Rays - Friday at 5:07 p.m. (et). "It's a great feeling. We parted ways, of course I wanted to do well against them," Napoli said of his success against the Angels. "I was excited that I was dealt here. I couldn't have ended up in a better place. W | |

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays are loose and raring to go, ready to work overtime - if necessary - to win the AL wild card. ``Whatever it takes,'' designated hitter Johnny Damon said. ``It's been a fun ride and hopefully it continues.'' The Rays' improbable bid for a third playoff berth in four years comes down to the final day of the regular season after Tuesday night's 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees left them tied for the wild card with Boston.

| St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Rays turned a crucial triple play during the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. With the Yankees leading, 3-2, and nobody out with the bases full, catcher Russell Martin grounded a ball toward third base, tight to the line. Evan Longoria grabbed the ball as he stepped on the bag to quickly record the first out, then fired to Ben Zobrist for the second.
