I'll be rooting for Red Sox Dustin Pedroia. The kid is a fireplug and plays with more enthusiasm than I've seen in awhile. He may not win it, but he sure has been playing well.

Felt like quoting this from page 1 - very nice prediction! It's neck and neck right now in the AL East, Sox lost a heartbreaker last night in the 9th. Rubber game tonight.

Pedroia is that guy no one wants to see come up to the plate against their team.

I agree that he should be considered. Great year for him.

It's all about who's hot at the right time. Look at the Rockies last year.

You can win 110 games, but if you are cool in October... it will be lights outs quickly.

Wow, Rays seem to enjoy waiting until the 9th to start playing.

Another 9th inning win over the bosox last night. Crazy.

They are unbelieveable! I have to respect them, they've performed incredibly all year long. Hats off to 'em, they put the Sox 2.5 games back last night with a crazy win in the 14th inning (although the Sox should have won in the 9th, ump blew a safe/out call at first). Still hoping the Sox can catch them, but they are for real.

The Red Sox clinched a spot in the playoffs last night, so the champs will have a chance to defend their title. The Rays were the better team in the AL East this year and should easily win the division (3 games ahead with 4 left to play). The Sox will face off against The Angels in the playoffs, and the Angels are damn good this year. Good luck to all you fans with a team in the playoffs!

the brewers are gonna screw the cubs over a bit, if they don't make the playoffs.

they're gonna force the cubs to play the mets in the divisional series instead of the dodgers.
