Apparently they are still playing baseball...

I would SO love a Nats-Os World Series!!

As Lee said on The Facebook, for Phillies fans, "Raul Ibanez and Jayson Werth win games on back to back nights with game-ending homers. It's 2009, right? RIGHT?"

Round One Predictions...

Here are my predictions....

ALDS:

Red Sox over Angels in 4

Yankees over the Twins in 3

NLDS:

Cardinals over Dodgers in 4

Phils over Rockies in 3

I could be bold and predict further, but let's wait and see if this pans out.

Some Sox Thoughts From Tony Massarotti

Time for a baseball post!

The Joy of Sox (I am sorry to say I just "got" the title this morning!) summed up Tony Massarotti's most recent Boston Globe chat thusly: Mark Teixeira will be playing first base for the 2009 Red Sox (with Kevin Youklis returning to third), we'll be stuck with Julio Lugo (or at least stuck with his contract), the Papi noise is just that, the Sox will make a deal for either Ranger catcher Taylor Teagarden or Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Justin Masterson will stay in the bullpen.

And he mentioned Manny might fill the hole the Phillies have with Pat the Bat leaving town...

The 2008 Season is over.

The Phillies defeat the Devil Rays in 5 games.

While I obviously wanted the Sox to repeat, I think this is an okay runner-up scenario.

Cole Hamels was named MVP of both the NLCS and the World Series.

Joy of Sox put it best..."The Red Sox are no longer baseball's defending champions."
