Who Would've Guessed It? Yanks and Sox BOTH in Playoffs-Shocker!
Okay, so after all the fuss and all the talk about the craziness of the American League in 2005, we’re back to where we’ve always been. The Central Division champion is made of Shop-Rite Scrunchy brand paper plates, the Western Division champion is the team that nobody is talking about, and, oh yeah, one other thing, the Yankees are the Eastern Division champ and the Red Sox are the Wild Card.

I said a few months ago that the World Series would be the Cardinals over the Red Sox. I have to stick by it, but I have some doubts about that. A few thoughts on the eve of the eve of the playoffs: and don’t worry, I’ll be blogging regularly during the postseason.

-The Angels might make the World Series again.

-The Astros, if they can get anyone to go pick up some bats from the Louisville Slugger factory, might have a shot at grabbing their first N.L. pennant.

-The Yankees will go as far as Mike Mussina takes them. Randy Johnson will be fine. If Mussina does well, the Yankees could win everything. If he does badly, especially at the start, they won’t even make it past the Angels.

-If the White Sox beat the Red Sox, I will wear a pair of women's thong underwear on my head at a Thai restaurant sometime in the next 3.5 months.
