What are your predictions?

Mine:

ALDS - Rays vs. Rangers (Rays in 5...I hate to say being a Rangers fan)
ALDS - Yankees vs. Twins (Yankees in 4...Was hoping Morneau be healthy for the Twins, but he will miss all of the playoffs)

NLDS - Reds vs. Phillies (Phillies in 3)
NLDS - Braves vs. Giants (Giants in 4)

ALCS - Rays vs. Yankees (Yankees in 6)

NLCS - Giants vs. Phillies (Phillies in 5)

World Series - Yankees vs. Phillies (Phillies in 6)

And I'm rooting for the Phillies because they are my team & the team to beat!

GOOOOOOO PHILLIES!!!

Lee

[estranged4life]

is no-hitting the Reds in the top of the 9th inning!!! Wow!!!

He did it...A no-hitter!!!!!!

[DavidMn]

Roy Halladay is one of the best pitchers of this generation. He also has perfect game to go with this no-hitter he just pitched. unbelieveable. I dont think there is anyone who can stop the Phillies.

[GODDESS6]

i am rooting for the phillies because cole hamels is dreamy!!!~

halladay's no hitter was phenomenal!!!~

[estranged4life]

so far I have been 100% accurate....at being wrong! I thought the Rays would beat my Rangers team, but 'lo and behold the Rays have to win 3 in a row or their season is over.

Hoping for a repeat of last year, Yankees/Phillies with Yankees on top!

Though I do agree, Cole Hamels is dreamy.

The Twins are once again done in by the Yankees. Even their new ballpark didn't help. It'll be up to Texas now.

having watched the Rangers all season long, They can compete with the Yanks, and have defeated Mariano Rivera when others couldn't (Including on consecutive occassions in September)...But don't count out the Rays just yet.

Woo hoo! I officially love you!

Yeah, Cole Hamels is definitely a cutie. Most teams seem to have that great-looking player, another one being David Wright from the Mets.

YANKEES- All the way!!!

[estranged4life]

CHOKED!!!! And I loved every second of it

And the Giants just went up 3-0 in the 1st inning over the tomahawk CHOKING Braves (Ya know, that team of the decade that yet only won ONE World Series).

To do the much fun & LOVED tomahawk-CHOKE, do the "tomahawk chop" horizontally at your throat

Gwynn: Mouth cancer small, treatable

Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn soon will begin treatment for parotid cancer, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Saturday.

The cancer was discovered last month after Gwynn, 50, underwent his third bout of surgery since 1997 to remove a tumor on his parotid gland, which pumps saliva into the mouth.

The former San Diego Padres star said he faces seven to eight weeks of five-day-a-week radiation treatments and once-a-week chemotherapy treatments, the Union-Tribune reported. Gwynn said doctors told him they feel they caught the cancer early and "there was not much of it there."

"They say this is a slow-moving but aggressive form of cancer," Gwynn told the paper. "I’m going to be aggressive and not slow moving in treating this."

Gwynn suspects the cancer could be linked to his career-long practice of using chewing tobacco.

“I haven’t discussed that with the doctors yet, but I’m thinking it’s related to dipping,” said Gwynn, who resumed using chewing tobacco after the first two surgeries.

Dr. Kevin Brumund, a neck and throat specialist at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, told the newspaper there have been no studies linking parotid cancer and chewing tobacco, which is now banned in minor league baseball.

Gwynn is San Diego State's baseball coach, and the school confirmed Gwynn's condition to The Associated Press. Gwynn plans to return to his alma mater, which he has coached since 2003. He retired from the majors in 2001 after 20 seasons with the Padres, in which he won a National League record-tying eight batting championships and was named to the All-Star Game 16 times.
