IF THE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY... September 25, 2008

Oh it's starting to get complicated!

That's how I like my Septembers! All jumbled up.





Let's start with the American League first:

AL DIVISION SERIES (Best of 5)

LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF ANAHEIM (West)
has home field over
BOSTON RED SOX (Wild card)

TAMPA BAY RAYS (East)
has home field over
CHICAGO WHITE SOX (Central)


That could change if the Twins beat the White Sox and complete the sweep...
In that event the Rays would play the Twins and the White Sox would be playing golf.

Are you following?
Good, because the National League is much harder.

Before the playoffs would start, there would have to be a one game playoff.

The NEW YORK METS would play the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for the Wild Card.
Not sure who would have home field... that scenario wasn't in the Coin Toss

NL DIVISION SERIES (Best of 5)

IF THE METS WIN


CHICAGO CUBS (Central)
has home field over
NEW YORK METS (Wild Card)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (East)
has home field over
LOS ANGELES DODGERS (West)

IF THE BREWERS WIN

CHICAGO CUBS (Central)
have home field over
LOS ANGELES DODGERS (West)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (East)
have home field over
MILWAUKEE BREWERS (Wild Card)

Let's keep jumbling it!

Sully Baseball PLUG OF THE DAY:
DEATH BY CHICK LIT by Lynn Harris

The author is the co creator of Breakup Girl, the website/book/animated series that included a cartoon version of yours truly. Lynn wrote the best of her many books about a young author who gets caught up in a sinsiter web as many of her more successful contemporaries wind up murdered. As she unravels the mystery, she remains slightly insulted that her work isn't worth being killed for.

Go get it... it has Lynn's wonderful wit and imagination at the core.
Now lets look at my cartoon self again, shall we?
