"Good karma and vibes, hustle and heart can take you places where breathing doesn't come easily. Eventually, even if you have become the best story in the land, reality has a rude way of intervening. When it becomes a matter of skill and execution, will and desire were not quite enough for the remarkable (2011 Tampa Bay) Rays." - Lyle Spencer on MLB.com (10/04/2011, 'Toast of the town: Rays' thrilling ride over', Source)
