ps feel free to bash my picks. I don't know a lot about the teams, lineups, etc so my picks might sound dumb. I think they are perfect. I'd love to see a rematch with the Twins for the WS in Bobby's last year, as a nice bookend to his first year back with the Braves in 1991.

having the rays/rangers game on at 1:37 in the afternoon on a wednesday is stupid. If I was a fan of either of those teams I would be mad. Yeah this is the case for me. It pisses me off that I will have to miss over half the game, and it is no different Thursday.

Twins over Yankees in 5 Rays over Rangers in 4 Phillies over Reds in 4 Giants over Braves in 4 I'll do the rest of my predictions after the Division SeriesThat's no fun. It's odd, but it's a superstition thing I have. Anytime I predict my team to win something, they never do, so I hate doing it. Weird, I know

I have a Master's degree in Statistics and Probability and my calculations indicate that the Twins have a 3% chance of beating the Yankees right now.

It'd be great to see Bobby Cox win it on his way out It'd be great to see Doc Halladay get a ring It'd be great to see the Twins win without Morneau It'd be great to see Longoria, Price etc win it...I thinjk It'd be great to see the Rangers do it with all their fire power It'd be great to see the Giants win behind their pitching It'd be great to see the Reds pull it out with Votto, Bruce, It'd be great if the Yankees do not win.

I'm really going to miss Bobby Cox. I know a lot of people focus on what he didn't do, but when you focus on what he did do, it really is amazing. Even if he did get drunk and punch his wife in the face.

I'm pulling for the Rangers and the Reds myself. Should be an exciting post season. Pulling for them as well.

So in your superstitious thinking, you just cost the Phillies the series against Cincy. Philly fans, Boo this man!!!

You can probably say the same for the Yankees, but it's because of fans like you why I hate the Red Sox. Not because of the team, but because of the fans

Even if he did get drunk and punch his wife in the face. I find I'll kind of miss him too. He was/is the enemy, but he's an enemy you respected. And the bitch probably didn't listen. It happens.

Technically, yes. 2 of that 3% is from the Twins home field advantage and the Yankos history as a wild card entry. The other 1% is anything can happen. But will the Twins even win one game? Francisco Liria- NOCarl Pava- NO

It would be great to see the Yankees pull it out with no pitching. Not trying to be a Lorenzo, but not really too confident in getting anything from not only Burnett, but Vazquez(who I know is not on the DS roster), but also Pettitte. Andy didn't show me enough in those last few starts to give me faith in him. I have full confidence in CC, im about 75% favorable on Hughes depending on how the idiot manager misuses him, and aside from that the guy I had the most confidence in giving 5 quality innings was sadly Nova.

Someday women will learn when we say "do the dishes" we mean, "do the dishes" From police reports, they had a dinner party, and both were drunk. During the party he spilled something on the floor, and after everyone left, she was harassing him about it, and attacked him, and he punched her in the face in self-defense. Both were drunk, I'm pretty sure that is exactly what happened, sobased on the circumstances, I don't think he's really a wife beater or anything. But that being said, she should have shut up and cleaned it up herself.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
