The Rays were mathematically eliminated from the postseason Tuesday night, though they were officially eliminated sometime early in their 11-game losing streak.
You know what that means?
No champagne showers.
No Rayhawks.
No playoff tickets.
No playoff crowds.
No Grant Balfour kicking dirt at Orlando Cabrera.
No home runs from Evan Longoria.
No games ending past midnight.
No auxiliary press box in the tbt Party Deck.
No missing deadlines because the games ended past midnight. No writing for the Web site only.
No 11th inning dashes to the plate by Fernando Perez.
No bombs over the Green Monstah by B.J. Upton.
No Matt Garza out-pitching Jon Lester.
No saves for David Price.
No beating the Red Sox for the pennant.
No moving the center of the baseball universe to Tropicana Field.
No Joe Buck. No Tim McCarver.
No cold nights in Philly.
No rain in Philly.
No side trips to Wilmington, Del.
No memories.
No fun.
Sigh.
