Testament to some of those guys. They're going to be in trouble next year without the 5 ring guys around... I am a die hard yankee hater, but I've never quite been able to hate Pettitte or Mo, or even Jeter, really. Anyway - it will be a fun post-season. I can make a pretty good case why any team in it could win it all (except maybe the Indians, though they are certainly hot - though those last 10 wins came against teams that lost 210 games between them, so might not carry quite as much weight against the Sox or Rays or Tigers...)weepingsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885871104310819374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349866.post-53987590459413438602013-10-01T20:27:16.998-04:002013-10-01T20:27:16.998-04:00Sound predictions Stephen!

A big congratulations to you on the Rex Sox dominance and a tie for the very best record in baseball. I'd say they are the odds-on favorite to win the AL crown and earn a WS spot. Only Oakland of the teams that are in would appear to be a possible upset winner. Agreed that Atlanta and the Cards would seem to be the teams to beat in the NL, though the Braves never manage to get out of the first round. I'll be watching for sure. I expected Tampa to beat Texas in that wild card showdown for the right to face Cleveland. The Indians are really hot, having won ten straight.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
