I'm pretty happy with the Astros winning, they'll play the braves and those two will beat each other up while the Cards should be able to take care of the Dodgers. They won the season 4 games to 2 against the dodgers and frankly I'm not really too impressed with the Dodgers staff. They're good, but they're not great. I'm just glad we don't have Bonds to worry about and the Astros will be tough for Atlanta to beat. I feel bad for Atlanta as I've sort of adopted them now that I live in the south (i root for them if it doesn't affect the Cardinals). I'll be pulling for the braves against the astros, mainly cause I hate the astros and they're tougher than the braves in my opinion. Should be some great play off baseball either way.
Obviously I want the cards all the way, but I'd be happy with the Braves pulling it out over the yanks mainly just to show steinbrenner that Bobby Cox is a great coach that doesn't need his high priced players to win. But Cards hopefully.
AL... well i'm not a fan of the AL, its a little inferior to the NL in my opinion. I mean maybe there'd be more injured pitchers in the AL if they had to bat once and a while. But I'd like to see those insane red sox make some noise. The twins are doomed to die, and the Angels aren't great, it will probably be yanks vs redsox before we know it here. And that will be interesting.
