So very true, hard to enjoy the postseason until one of the ten teams is eliminated. Not sure who I want to win but wouldn't mind seeing a Nats/O's WS. As long as one of the nine teams you mentioned wins, it is fine by me. I like seeing teams win the WS, not buy it.

One thing about Omar Vizquel. He didn't play much shortstop since coming back to the AL in 2009(55 games total), but it is amazing that he didn't make one error at the position in any of the last four years! You would think one would get away from a guy in his 40's that whole time just from rustiness but nope. Finished with a .985 fielding percentage, listed 2nd on baseball-reference just under half a point behind Troy Tulowitzki, but Vizquez has over 8000 more chances at shortstop so I don't think Tulo should really be rated there just yet.
