ALCS G6 LB VI: The Return Of The Ninth

Top Nine

Cue Heath Ledger: "And Here.....We.....Go!"

Drew up against Bradford. He hits a bullet to left field, but it's caught for an out.

Jason Bay now. He grounds out gently to short.

Maddon out again, and Trever Miller is on to face Mark Kotsay.

Mark Kotsay, Hitter Without Portfolio, Pops Out to Third.

Bottom Nine

Here comes the Lord of the Dance, Jonathan Papelbon.

He had to face The Desperate Third Baseman, Carl Crawford, and Erick's Brother.

The DTB grounds out to short.

CC Hit Factory strikes out swinging.

Papelbon is not throwing as hard as he usually does.

Aybar hits it hard, but it's snagged by Youkilis, and it's over.

Wow.

From the brink of disaster, all the way back to win Game Five, and now winning Game Six in gutty, demanding fashion, and now onto a Game Seven.

The Tampa Bay Rays have got to be swallowing their gum right about now.
