sawx over d-backs...

Angels beat Red Sox
Indians beat Yankees
Angels beat Indians

D'Backs beat Scrubs
Rockies beat Phillies
Rockies beat D'Backs

Angels beat Rockies in W.S.

thought the umpires missed some calls --

the non-homer that CLEARLY went over the yellow line, and holliday's game-ending slide/face-plant.

he never touched the plate, but mclellan's vision was blocked by the catcher.

must've been a union thing.
i bet they were pissed about having to work n extra game...

Good points, but the Padres got themselves into that mess to begin with (lost in extra innings to the Crew on Saturday), while Colorado has won something like 15 out of their last 16. Which is why they are my dark horse pick.

I leave it to you: who is more deserving?

Back to the drawing room.

Boston in 4 over LAA
Cleveland in 5 over NYY (toughest matchup)

Cleveland in 6 over Boston


Colorado in 3 over CHC
Arizona in 5 over Philadelphia

Arizona in 7 over Colorado

Cleveland in 5 over Arizona

(If the Yanks beat the Injuns, then they go & win the WS)

I loved seeing my d-backs beat the cubs. I'm hoping they win tonight so I wear my jersey downtown on Saturday and watch them SWEEP the cubbies.

When the Brewers were still in it, I loved wearing my cap home on the Red Line, especially on game days.

a plague of Canadian Soldier gnats befell
the spankees in cleveland friday...

Only in baseball!

How classic. The Evil Empire felled by a ten-minute swarm of midges.

indian players didn't seem to be bothered by it as much as jobba and jeter...

In Cleveland, I'm sure, lots of people are tipping the groundskeeping crew. Nice Canadian soldiers' nest ya got planted on the pitcher's mound and in the batter's box. Amazing how they trained 'em to mainly go after the Yankees.

all League Championship series times tentative

Question: has it ever happened where all four division series were sweeps?

not in the ALDS, but it has happened 3 times now in the NLDS('96, '97 & '07)...

Thank you, dolling. In any event, it still hasn't happened in the ALDS.
