Phuck the Fillies
It shouldn't have taken a baseball genius to predict that the Cubs and Phillies, with one World Series win between them since 1908, wouldn't advance beyond the first round of the playoffs this year. But i'd hoped that the Cubs, at least, would show a bit more spunk instead of rolling over and surrendering.
Fans of great baseball names will be rooting for a Rockies - Indians matchup in the Series, with the possibility of Ubaldo Jimenez striking out Asdrubal Cabrera, or Fausto Carmona retiring Troy Tulowtizki on a pop up to Ryan Garko. Not to mention Jhonny Peralta simply taking the field.
Today's prediciton: Roger Clemens doesn't make it past the fourth inning, but the Yankees come back and send their series to game 4. The Red Sox will finish their sweep of the Angels. Gotta see Coco Crisp in the ALCS.

From your post, it almost sounds like we could have a good all-name championship series team.

Come on, he would have never rooted for the Yankees.
Derek Jeter, maybe, but not the Yankees.

Joe - i haven't put the all-name team together, but i will say that Ryan Spilborghs is a lock for the all-worst facial hair team. God, that thing looks like a strip of electrical tape under his chin.
And was that a pretty good call on Roger, or what?
