I am pleasantly surprised that DO will be calling the Red Sox series. But, Buck Martinez doesn't shut up!
UGH!!! As Cosmo correctly pointed out earlier in this thread, I'm sick and tired of the way Buck mispronounces Ortiz's name!
Good. Maybe he can bring some life to Orsillo. Sox announcing team is one of the dullest announcing teams in all of baseball.
I'm a Red Sox fan but to be honest I don't care who wins as long as the Yankees don't . Send them a message that money can't buy a World Series.

Does anyone know the Twins or Tigers pitching plans for tomorrow?
I'm guessing Blackburn for the Twins and Jackson for the Tigers, but that's just a guess.......
Given the recent history of surprising teams to make the World Series, would it shock anyone if the Twins won the AL Pennant?

Here are my predictions:
Phillies in 4 over Rockies- Philly is a team worthy of possibly repeating as champs- they have good starters and a lethal lineup. I don't think these Rockies are quite the same team they were a few years ago- they don't have Matt Holliday and I wonder about their starters. Still, it will come down to one thing- closers.
Dodgers in 5 over Cardinals- Dodgers have more threats at the plate. St. Louis does have great power in Pujols and Holliday, but who else is going to drive in those crucial runs?
Angels in 4- I think they are due to get the monkey off their back.
Yankees in 4- Minnesota will be a bit fatigued, but they are REALLY dangerous; also, the Yankees have had a tendency to struggle in the ALDS, and after last year's top teams went out early, nothing would surprise me. Still, I am going with rest over rust- this situation reminds me of last year's Brewers.

It is being reported that Kate Hudson may be pregnant with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez's baby!
If true it would be the first time A-Rod has ever produced in October.

That's just wrong!
