MLB POSTSEASON

To me there is no better time than Playoff baseball and after last nights fantastic Tiebreaker game between the Twins and the Tigers i just hope that's a preview of things to come now on to the predictions for the Division Series.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees
First of all you have to applaud the effort by the Twins, they were trailing the Tigers by 3 with 4 games left. They are the most exciting team in the American League, but the Yankees are the best team in baseball and the Twins used so much energy just to get to this point. I love the Twins but the Yanks are to good.

Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels
These two teams have really gotten to know each other pretty well the last couple postseasons. The Red Sox have been on the winning side every time, but for some reason this year i think it will be different. The Angels have gone through so much this year they are my sentimental favorite it wont be easy but the Halos finally get past Boston.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies start their quest to repeat but with one glaring problem, Brad Lidge. Last year Lidge was perfect never blowing a save, this year he has blown 11. The Rockies under Jim Tracy have been the best team in Baseball since Tracy took over the team in May. The back end of the bullpen will kill the Phillies in this series.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
For most of the season the Dodgers were the best team in baseball, but the month of September wasn't their best the Dodger picked the worst time top be playing their worst baseball. The Cards bring in MVP candidate Albert Pujols and Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright. Should be a good series just don't like the way the Dodgers are playing right now.
