If you could pick the 8 teams to get into the 2009 MLB Playoffs, who would they be?

I want to see a change: specifically in the AL - No Red Sox or Yanks

AL West: Rangers

AL Central: White Sox

AL East: Blue Jays

AL W.C.Oakland

NL West: Giants

NL Central: Pirates - wow. haven't had a winning season since '92

NL East: Phillies

NL W.C. Reds

AL: A's, Rays, Twins

NL: Giants, Brewers, Marlins

AL Wildcard: Rangers

NL Wildcard: Padres

AL

Central: Kansas City (Not counting the Tigers)

East: Baltimore O's

West: Mariners

WC: Toronto Blue Jays

NL

Central: Pittsburgh Pirates

East: Florida Marlins

West: Arizona

WC: Washington Nationals

ALDS

KC vs Toronto

Baltimore vs Seattle Mariners

NLDS

Florida Marlins vs Nationals

Arizona vs Pittsburgh

ALCS: KC vs Seattle

NLCS: Florida vs Arizona

WS: KC vs Arizona

KC wins, Zach Greinke gets MVP after pitching 2, 9 inning shutouts

AL West: LA Angels

AL Central: Twins

AL East: Red Sox

AL Wild Card: Yankees

NL West: Dodgers

NL Central: Cubs

NL East: Phillies

NL Wild Card: Rockies

What do I think will happen?

AL- Yankees (hate to say it), Red Sox (hate to say it), Angels, Tigers

NL- Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, Rockies

What do I want to happen?

AL- Rays, Rangers, Indians, Angels (Indians are my favorite team, but I know it's unrealistic)

NL- Marlins, Cardinals, Giants, Padres

AL: Red Sox, O's, Twins, Kansas City

NL: Giants, Pirates

AL Wild card: Florida

NL Wild card: Arizona

AL: Yankees, Twins*, Angels, (WC) Red Sox

NL: Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, (WC) Rockies

* = Hoping they finish ahead of the Tigers.

PS - Yes, I think the perfect playoffs would feature the best teams of the 2009 season which are the ones I picked.

NL: Cubs, Giants, Astros, Nationals.

AL: Indians, Rangers, Royals, Mariners.

Because by damn, SOMEONE is gonna end their drought this season!

Not gonna happen, of course. But it should.

WOW... what a great prediction.. the Nationals are 32 games back.. and they are eligible with only 15 or so games left.

you're joking...

the O's will not win the AL East in your lifetime.
