So we’ve got two undecided playoff spots to debate tonight at 9. 

The Rockies are going into this final weekend series against the Dodgers with plans to knock them from the NL West crown.  Colorado wants to win the NL West and face St. Louis whom I feel they match up better with.   The Rockies pitching matches up better with the Cardinals hitters. And their line up would rather face the Cardinals big right-handers than the Phillies big left-handers. So, look for Jim Tracy to go for it in these three games to try and take the division.

Looking to the AL Central, Detroit will finish this weekend on top.  The Twins have given a valiant effort, but they will just come up a little short.  It just goes to show that even though you can’t win a division in April, you can lose one.  The Twins were just not able to get their season together in time.  

And with the last series being played in the Metrodome, let me just say that it was the loudest place I’ve ever played in my life.  Next year, those Twins better find some hairy ball players because it’s cold in Minnesota. – Mitch Williams
