Surprise! Surprise!

Cardinals swept!

Red Sox swept!

Could this really be happening?

You better believe it. With a loss to the Dodgers last night, the Cardinals, who were the first to clinch their division no less, was swept out of the NLDS. And with a 7-6 defeat at the hands of the Angels this afternoon, the Boston Red Sox are goin' home as well.

As a Red Sox-hater, the latter situation put a smile on my face. But as the for the former, I was disappointed that the Cards didn't make it past the first round. I wanted to see Pujols in the World Series again.

Twins Yankees tonight. It's going to be a close one I think. They're back in the Metrodome, which will no doubt favour the Twins. But the Yankees have been hot and they've been hot since May. As much as I want to see Mauer and co. advance, I have a feeling the Yanks will hand them a third straight loss.

It's October in Denver. That means snow!! Woot! After a postponement yesterday, the Rockies and Phillies will be back on the field today. The weather's not that better though. It's only 3 degrees Celsius there right now. Talk about cold! Imaging fouling a 90 mph fastball off the end of your bat in that weather...
