I think we would most likely play the A's in the first round actually. I'm not sure how it works, but our record will either be 2nd or 3rd best while the Yankee's are the best, so I am pretty sure the only way we would play them is if Boston got the Wildcard and we were third in the AL. I don't know if that makes any sense?

Cleveland will be real good in a year or two, but they don't have the pitching to catch up this year.

I think we have a better chance of upsetting them this year than last. As of todays newspaper Santana is the AL leader in ERA as well as K's, Juan Rincon has a 9-4 record with the second best ERA as a middle reliever, Joe Nathan is one of the top closers in the AL this year, and Radke is top 15 in ERA. If we could somehow get Miguel Batista through wavers I wouldn't call us a huge underdog if we played right now. Than again, a lot will probably change, they will have everyone back and we won't be as hot, so meh.
