The first game gets underway in approximately 2 and a 1/2 hours, so here are my first round predictions:
Twins over Yankees in 5 (Sorry, but I can't go against my team right now. All we need to do is get some quality starts from Santana and Radke, and we're in great shape.)
Angels over the Red Sox in 5 (Taking the hotter team. Plus, Pedro seems to be petering out.)
Cardninals over Dodgers in 4 (Was tempted to pick the Dodgers in an upset, since everyone and their mother is taking the Cards, but common sense prevailed. St. Louis just has too many bats.)
Astros over Braves in 4 (Both teams historically kinda suck in the postseason, but I'll take Clemems and Oswalt over Wright, Ortiz and Hampton any day.)
