Tonight at 11, we’ve got the playoff races flowing on tap.

Only one interesting playoff race is going on right now, and it’s in the AL Central.   The showdown between the Tigers and Twins is going to be a fight to the finish. 

I mean for me, what makes baseball exciting is that after the long season it comes down to four games to determine it all.

One team’s going home.

One team’s going to the playoffs.

Who’s it gonna be??

In the NL, it’s plain and simple; the bullpen that pitches the best is going to carry their team in the playoffs.

To me, the Dodgers have the potential to make it to the series because they have the best bullpen.  With Jonathan Broxton, George Sherrill, and Ramon Troncoso firing on all cylinders they could be taking the Dodgers for a long ride in October.

And if we’re talking about bullpens, we should probably talk about the Phillies.  It’s simple, if they don’t get Scott Eyre and J.C. Romero back, it’s trouble.

If Brad Lidge can’t get his game straightened out, more trouble.

Add the playoffs and that’s a whole heap of trouble.  The offense is going to have to score a ton of runs with that bullpen. – Mitch Williams
