Default Baseball/playoff races

Twins are now only 1/2 game out of first place. Be interesting to see who wins the division.
Phillies now trail the Dodgers by one game and the Padres by 1 1/2 games for the wildcard(padres have a 1/2 game lead in the division but still have to be considered as one of three teams looking to get a playoff spot).
Thats about the only real drama left this year in a baseball season that has seemed over for a month now.

I would really like to see the Twins get the division so they would have to play the A's in the first round and the Yankees would get the Tigers.
In the NL, I cant see what difference it makes with who gets the NL West between the Pads and Dodgers. The loser will win the wildcard, I am convinced. Phillies will crack like cheap paint.

Cant wait for the Playoffs to begin.

Gander,as far as who wins the NL West goes,it makes a big difference.The Dodgers can't hit good pitching on the road.That is exactly why they struggle against St.Louis.They were competitive in 3 out of the 4 games AGAINST THE METS a couple weeks ago(and took 2 out of the 4 games.)They would have a chance against the Mets,but virtually no shot against the Cards.Dodgers bullpen is struggling (middle relief) now.Tomko has blown games in 4 of the last 5 games that Grady has been dumb enough to use him in.Tomko got into trouble Monday Night against the Padres,and made decent pitches to get out of it.Should have gone out on a high note,and retired that night.The guy is a joke.BTW,the Padres are too good to miss the post.Phils or Dodgers will stay home.I am going to the stadium tonight.Hope Maddux can stop a carefree Pirates team.

Tigers played the Yanks reasonably tough in the series earlier this month in NYC.

I still expect them to fold though. The Tigers wouldn't have it any other way. I can't expect their first winning record since 1993 to result in a playoff appearance.

The METS match up much better this time than in 2000. Both their weakness are their starting pitching. I WOULD LOVE a Subway Series!
