Braves and Red Sox Collapse









The Braves and the Red Sox finished off some of the most epic collapses in MLB history.  The Braves blew an 8.5 game lead and Red Sox an 9 game lead in the month of September.  The Rays came back against the Yankees from down 7-0 last night to win the game in the twelfth inning to steal the spot from the Red Sox who fell apart against the Orioles in the 9th inning to knock themselves out of a one game playoff.  In the National League the Cardinals crushed the Astros for their playoff spot as they watched the Braves blow a lead only to lose in the 13th inning to the Phillies.  One crazy night of baseball.
