Anything can happen during the playoffs but the odds for a Cardinals/Yankees series are pretty good.

BASEBALL PING LIST

If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.

This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

?WHAT?

No way...

Angels vs. Phillies. Phillies repeat in 6 games.

FWIW, the Baltimore Ravens will win the Superbowl over the N.O. Saints (but thats footy-ball)

As a former Metro Detroiter I have to root for my Detroit Tigers to hold off the Minnesota Twins and clinch the AL Central — the first divisional title since 1987. With 28% unemployment in Detroit, 15% statewide and a lib Canadian governor who has ruined the state, I guess my fellow Detroiters and Michiganders need something to cheer about. Go Tigers!!!!!!
