The Sad Reality of a Top-Heavy League:

[clydepepper]

The American League playoff match-ups are already set:

Wild-Card Play-In:

NYY (4) vs. OAK (5)

Division Series:

CLE (3) vs. HOU (2)
BOS (1) vs. Play-In Winner (4 or 5)

League Championship:

(3v2 Winner) vs. (1v(4 or 5) winner)

Parity? Where are you?

FACT: There is NO TRUTH to the rumor that the Orioles and Royals will meet in a Play-In to face the Hawaiian Little League Team.

I think you're right Raymond. The A.L race does look like it's over.

The N.L. still looks totally up for grabs.
As a Cubs fan I still can't believe we picked up Cole Hamels and Daniel Murphy for the stretch run for next to nothing. :D They're our best two players right now!
