IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY... October 3, 2010

Here we are... the last day of the season... and not one single Division Series match up has been set.

The Yankees played a combined 20 innings yesterday and very well might have lost the Division in the wee small hours of the morning. And the Twins may have lost homefield advantage in the Division Series and ALCS with a poorly timed losing streak.

But that is NOTHING compared to the potential double choke that would be the Giants and Braves... especially if a 3 way playoff is necessary.

Let's look at the current match ups.

TAMPA BAY RAYS (AL East Champion)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (NL East Champion)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (NL West Champion)

Why do I have a feeling that there will still be things left undecided by the end of today?
