Yes you read that right. The Rays nearly swept the best team in baseball this week dealing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels have a near impossible lead to give up and they are struggling with complacency now as they have dropped two series in a row.

A baseball closer is the last line of defense. Closers are responsible for saving (or blowing) hundreds of games each year. A closer has to be tough, confident, and skilled and closers have to have thick skin. They can be anointed the hero, and criticized greatly all in the same week. They have to have a short memory, and continue to do their job with passion and confidence. One pitch can make or break a game, so a closer has to be clutch.

Batter Up! That's right, it's baseball season. Why not celebrate the beginning of a new MLB season by going to watch the New York Yankees?
