Well I have to admit, those are some good points. And I watched the Yanks play the Sox last weekend, and even though they lost they look awfully good. They're probably better this year than they've been since they were last in the Series. The playoffs are still something of a crapshoot, though, and the other AL teams are pretty good, too. But the possibility of a subway series looms large, and I'm not talking about the Dodgers and Angels.
And oh yes, the Phillies are tied for the wild card spot as of last night!
Their starters are rockin' right now.
