First you have to know this...baseball means so much to me. I love all sports, but nothing (other than dodgeball) can come close to matching baseball in my world. I played for fourteen years and I miss it all the time. One of my dreams is to coach it. I know a lot about the game from a strategy standpoint and I'm really good at stealing the other team's signs so it makes sense to coach. One day, it will happen.
The first round has come to a close. My beloved Angels took their best record in baseball and wasted it away to the Red Sox losing 3 games to 1. Neat. Staying in the American league, the very surprising Rays took it to the White Sox. I mean, the White Sox were playing like crap anyway, they really didn't deserve to be in the playoffs. In the National league the Cubs choked as usual. They got swept by the Dodgers who looked pretty strong. And finally, the Phillies pretty much rolled all over the Brewers.
I predict and really hope that the Rays beat the Red Sox (I really hate the Red Sox) and that the Dodgers beat the Phillies. That would leave the Rays and the Dodgers. And it would be really nice to see the Rays win since they have been absolutely terrible since they entered the league in 1998. This is actually the first time they've had a winning record. So, I'm rooting for the Rays because my team is out.

Ditto on the Rays! I also dislike the Red Sox, so I hope the Rays can take it to them too. I hate to say that I like the Phillies and hope they can advance.
Just saw your comment on mine. Thanks for the welcome back. Hopefully I can stick with it this time. I'm not so upset anymore but it's still frustrating to think about. Sucks to see your team plow through the whole league for 162 games and lose it completely. I wish I could root for the Rays, but a bitter part of me doesn't want another expansion team winning before the Cubs. I was hoping the Dodgers could pull it out but it's looking bleak right now. They'd probably be my favorite team if I didn't like the Cubs.
