MLB Update...
Yeah, the Red Sox won the Wild Card, but screw them... all of them except for Manny and David Ortiz, who should win the MVP.
Curt Schilling picked a nice time to dominate, so I'll stop hating on Schilling if the Sports Guy will stop being all "Curt Schilling is the best pitcher ever!!!" (He's not, just if you're checking.)
What I want to know is this: Why was Scott Elarton starting the must-win game for the Indians? He pitched well enough, but he's not exactly the guy I'd like to have out there. I haven't seen a debacle like this since Phil Garner (knowing that he could start Clemens and Oswalt back-to-back on three days' rest, only needing to win one game) decided to start Pete Munro for Game 6, essentially puttin' all his eggs in one basket.
What if Jimmy Rollins gets a hit in each of his first twenty games next year?
Quick playoff picks: White Sox over Red Sox in five... Yanks over Angels in four... Astros in five... Cardinals in four.
Logic: Well, the Red Sox should win, but I think that the White Sox will outpitch the Red Sox in at least one game, the Red Sox's pitchers will implode in at least one game, and that the White Sox looked pretty good in disposing of the Indians in a series that they had nothing to prove in... so I'm taking them. This is clearly a huge mistake, but I'm sticking with it.
I've always liked Anaheim, but I don't know if they match up well with the Yanks. I'd love to be wrong with this series, though. The Angels have to win game one, or I think they're in trouble (they'll have to face Randy Johnson, possibly twice). Vladimir Guerrero could be a beast in the playoffs, though. He did hit a grand slam of Timlin last year.
The Cardinals might lose to Jake Peavy in game one... the Astros/Braves should be a tough series... will we see Clemens/Smoltz, then Pettitte/Hudson? That would be nice. Nobody seems to care about the NL anymore.
(You know, the Padres could beat the Cardinals... it's possible.)

I think we should ask Drew, Berrymore, that is, about the Red Sox. She seemed to know a substantial amount of information about them in the hit "Fever Pitch." Just a thought. If not, I could give you my current opinion of MLB, which is...
Padres in 9
White Sox in 3
Braves in 5 (even though Clemens will pitch 27 perfect innings)
Yankees in the butt
Isn't anybody going to hate on me for the completely incorrect Yanks/Angels analysis? How disappointing.
