On Tuesday, the best part of the year officially begins: MLB playoffs. Can the Red Sox repeat? Will the White Sox break out of their futility and win their first post-season series since 1917? Has George Steinbrenner bought himself another winning team? Or will the Padres go unbeaten and win it all in 11 games?

I say none of the above. And I'm sticking with my original prediction (see linked post) of the Braves over the Red Sox in 6. That's not to say that I'm rooting for the Braves, it's just my gut. And I'll stick my neck out farther and give the WS MVP to Rafael Furcal.

Not that anyone cares, but this is my blog, dammit, and this is what I'd like to see happen:

ChiSox swept by BoSox in ALDS because I can't stand Ozzie Guillen

Angels over Yankees in 4

Cardinals over Padres in 4

Astros over Braves in 5

Angels over BoSox in 6

Astros over Cardinals in 7

Astros over Angels in 5, giving long-deserved rings to Biggio and Bagwell; Morgan Ensberg as series MVP

Yanks over Astros in 6

So I'm a bit of a homer. It's a combination of what I think will happen and what I want to see. I can't imagine anyone wants to face the Astros, especially if they can throw Clemens, Oswalt, and Pettite twice each in a series. Yeah, the bats are sleepy, but they'll wake up, and those three guys are great and experienced. It wouldn't be so bad to see either the Astros or Cardinals win, especially if the Yankees don't. It would also be kinda funny, in a not-so-great way, if the Padres come out and sweep everyone.
