who do you think will advance further, win the world series and all that jazz?

from the AL, Boston will go far. I want to see them win it all. In the NL, I cannot see anyone beating St. Louis. However, Houston is on an amazing roll. OK, i'll say Boston and St. Louis in the World Series, and Cards win it all.

Tristan, nice way for the dodgers to clinch the division!!! Hope they go far. Id love to see them in the world series.

Well, what can I say... now that the Expos are history, I have 2 teams I wish that can go further.

The Dodgers with Éric Gagné... the only person from Québec in MLB right now... and the Angels with Vlad, the best baseball player ever produced from the Expos organization....

I know I have high hopes, but dreaming never harmed anyone ;)

I'd like to see the Dodgers make it, I'm sick of all these fucking "wildcard" wins. It's great for one year, maybe two, but now we need to let it come down to the overal league leaders. That's what the Series is about. I'm not saying get rid of the wildcard, just let the league cmaps duel it out.

That being said, I'd like to see Boston get to the Series, but I doubt they can match up against the Yanks. Then again, the Yanks have no pitching, they're probably good enough to get by the Twins but not much further.

I don't think the Cards can get up enough momentum to advance to the Series, if only because they're so used to having the National League leadership position that they may be strung out.

And let's not forget the Astros...

Okay, so the post season series showdowns:

Astros VS Braves Dodgers VS Cardinals Yankees VS Twins Angels VS Red Sox Major League Baseball VS Former Expos Shareowners

That will be exciting to follow !!!

Should be quite an interesting playoff, all of the teams have their strengths and weakneses.

Don't think the Dodgers can get by St. Louis, though I'd love for them to, it's 7 to 2 right now for the Cards.

Braves and Astros should be a great series, as well as the Bosox and Angels. Yankees will get by the Twins (again).

Once again, as has been documented here before, there is no way in the world I want Boston to win, their fans I've come into contact with have made me root for the Yanks. Win something first Boston, and then start yapping; until then, shut the hell up, we all know Pedro's late season swoon is no mirage, and Schilling can't do it all by himself, unless there's a ton of rainouts :evil4:

Hope to see an Angels and Astros series, doesn't matter to me who wins.

Does ANYONE care for the Yankees.....anymore?

I do, a little bit, since I hate the Red Sox so much (actually a Mets fan, but hey, I have been since 1969 when I was a little kid)

Just fookin' brilliant stuff tonight, that calls for a :beer:

Oh yeah, two dates for the Red Sox: 1986 (game six) and 1918. :rofl:

Well, Boston is now the closest city to Montréal ;)

It's hard to chose, it seems all damned teams in post season have an ex-Expos in them.......

Anahein: Vlad

Yankees: Vazquez

Boston: Pedro

St-Louis: Larry Walker

Dodgers: Their COACH is an ex-Expos damn it.

Too many options, I'd need to check the rosters of the other teams ;)

You should start cheering for the Bruins if the NHL ever starts up again. :D

I think St.Louis vs. the BOSOX would be the most exciting matchup.

Walk in the door after work, and Vlad smacks a grand slam off Timlin, nicely done!!!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Great ALCS game last night, at least Boston did not go quietly, at least the first game lived up to all of the hype about the series.

Schilling's tough, no doubt about that, and the Bosox certainly have the hitting to take down the Yanks, but we'll see how Pedro responds tonight, and if any of the rest of Boston's maddingly inconsistent staff steps up (looks like Curt probably won't be available, but we'll see).

Yes, really nice effort by Boston last night, but until you actually beat the Yanks when it counts...........

Apparently, now that the Dodgers are gone and the Sox down 2-0, most of the interest is gone from the playoffs. Bit bummed that the game was rained out tonight.

Cardinals look strong, we'll see what happens now that Clemens and Oswalt pitch.

BORING

The only thing that'd spice this postseason up would be a natural disaster like with the Giants-A's matchup, not that I'm wishing Yankee stadium would go into flames from a falling meteor :D

If Boston wins, I'm staying inside. College Red Sox fans are almost as bad as Philly sports fans.

Boston had their miracle last night but I doubt they get another.

Trying to root for the region favves is difficult. Twinns gone. Cubs:confused2: Not a fan of the St Louis Cock Robins.

Who is left in the National League?

Have to go with the Yankees, NYC is my ancestorial home.

What a difference a few days make :evil4:

First Ortiz with that colassal homer to keep the Bosox alive, then he does it again with a bloop to center that sends Jesus Damon around the bags to end a fourteen-inning monstrosity. I'm not saying the Sox are gonna come back and win it all, but the past two nights it's been an actual series, not a walkover for the overpaid, overhyped, overdone New York Yankees. If they want to advance to the WS, they're gonna have to kill Boston to do it. Then again, Aaron "Freaking" Boone last year isn't such a distant memory. But for right now, the Sox are playing their guts out :thumb:

I haven't been keeping up with the NLCS, but I think that's a pretty evenly-matched series, too close to call. :shrug:

October baseball...there's nothing finer :nod:

It's gotta suck for the fans on the east coast, with these looooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggg games on school nights. Yes, I'll give the Sox a ton of credit for continuing to fight, especially after providing Saturday's batting practice for the Yanks :evil4:

Funny how the NLCS is almost seen as an afterthought for a large part of the country, I still see more hype for the Yanks/Sox series by far.

True. The sucking vortex that is the immortal Yankees-Sox series will not even let light escape from it. Even if the Astros trotted out George W. Bush in full flight suit to pitch the ninth, and the Cards countered with John Kerry pinch-hitting in nothing but a thong, ESPN would still devote it's entire staff to the AL East.

But I watched the end of the game between the Astros and Cards last night and it was incredible baseball!!! That Carlos Beltran is really something... have you seen a replay of his fantastic catch from yesterday? UNBELIEVABLE!!!
