(Sports Network) - Whoa. What a night for Major League Baseball. Unless, of course, you happen to follow the Boston Red Sox or Atlanta Braves, both of whom ripped the hearts from their fans on Wednesday by completing epic collapses, leaving both of them on the outside for a postseason that gets underway on Friday. The Red Sox collapse was just a stunning turn of events following an offseason that not only saw them land Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, but one that saw them draw comparisons fr

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

Now, the team has to await the outcome of the Phillies/Braves game, which is currently in extra innings. Should the Braves manage to win, it will force a one-game playoff on Thursday in St. L
