That sickening feeling we have all awoken with after a beyond brutal loss in the middle of a pennant race is the feeling Brewers and Rays fans have today. This is the type of loss that either derails a team completely or is something a team looks back on and says - it's time to shift to the next gear!
When every win counts, giving up 5 and 4 runs in the 9th inning of their games (Rays and Brewers respectively) to blow them is about as brutal as it could get. I don't question the mental make-up of the Rays because they have persevered a lot this year. Their pitching can fail them at any time and that is the only worry the Rays should have - the hitting is consistently good.
On the other hand, the Brewers could be in the middle of another awful collapse (if you recall, they did this last year as well) and may not have the "stones" (the vernacular term for guts) to play meaningful September baseball.
