It is almost my favorite time of the year - postseason baseball! Win or go home!
Actually, this year has been a little dull, since - unless something dramatic happens - the teams going to the postseason could have been picked weeks ago. Anyway, once we find out who officially goes to the postseason, I will post my bracket, and I want to see yours too!

Well, I'd say there's quite a bit of suspense over whether the Braves and Red Sox can hold on to their Wild Card spots. I'll bet the division winners are rooting for them to eke their ways in because neither is likely to do much in the playoffs if they make it.

Yeah, the Rays are more worrisome than the Red Sox. But I still want the Yanks to kill 'em this weekend (rather they ruin their season and face the Rays than lose to the Res Sox now).

Lardy, my apologies. The Rays are now tied with Boston. Boston plays Baltimore, while the Rays have to play the Yankees.
Atlanta is a game ahead of St. Louis, but the Braves have to play the Phillies, while the Cards get to play Houston. Could be an exciting end of the season after all!

Yeah, it's like the Braves and Red Sox have just forgotten how to win! I know there's pitching problems, but DAY-um!

It's tha swoon, I tells ya! Tha SWOON!
Honestly, I can't watch the braves right now. I knew after the first couple of games of september that they were gonna pull a fast fade, and I was right. You can set your watch by it. In the league's rankings right now, the braves are a C club that keeps trying to make the jump to B ball but never quite getting the needed pieces.
Say what you will, at least Ted would go out and try to get major players. We only get guys past their primes hopping for one last good quarter season outta them (derek Lee) and it fails, or some no name guys that don't gel with the club and break the rhythm that they set up to win with .
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Um, Dev, not to rain on your parade, but when the Tigers went to the World Series a few years ago, they played the worst defense since..well, since the last time the Cubs were in the postseason.

Wow. Sitting in Tampa...I was on a long conference call for work...watching the game in the background. I was born and raised in Tampa...still live here.
That was amazing. I felt like I was 12 years old again for a minute.

This is not that team though. Best Pitcher, best hitter. Just sayin... Doesn't guarantee anything...but c'mon.

Braves seemed to keep trading down instead of up. Bats went to sleep, pitching was off.

I started this thread, so I guess I had better get my bracket in.
American League
Rays over Texas
New York over Detroit
New York over Rays
National League
Phillies over St. Louis
Milwaukee over Arizona
Milwaukee beats the Phils, and the Brewers take it all this year.
After every round, we all get to make new brackets too.

Well, Lance, your American League bracket is completely shot! We'll see if the home teams can pull it out tonight in the NL.

Ha! I noticed that too! I'm not doing any better here than I have been with college football.
Just a point of interest - a few years ago I actually overcame the 128-1 odds, and I picked every single series - wrong. Here's hoping I don't do that again.
The plus side is, as long as I get just one series right, I'll have the best result on this thread.

Yeah, I meant to pick with ya but forgot. I'm not sure who I would've picked in hindsight, but I doubt I would've picked against the Yanks. Maybe we can re-pick for the LCS's and WS?

Sure. In the past, we have done new brackets every round. Extra bragging rights go to whomever doesn't need to make a new bracket.

I'll take Rangers over Tigers for the ALCS and Cardinals over Brewers in the NLCS. And I'll take the Rangers to win it all.
