Who's your horse now?

Mine's the Cubs and Phils.

I like Sweet Lou, and if there's any team that deserves to win it all, it's the (arguably) lovable Cubbies.

It's pretty simple why the Phils are number two. I live in Philly and would like to experience the excitement of this town when the baseball team does well. It's first and foremost a football (Eagles) town, so I'd like to see what would happen if baseball fever took over. They won the division last year but got swept in the LDS. A trip to the LCS would be a lot of fun (I have a bar next door).

FYI: the White Sox will host the Tigers at 2 p.m. because Chicago trails Minnesota by a half game. If the Sox win, they will host Minnesota in a one-game playoff for the AL Central title on Tuesday.

Picks

I am picking Tampa Bay and Milwaukee. Though I would be fine with any of the NL teams making it as none of them have had much success in some time.

Got to go

Rays and Dodgers.
I would be happy rooting for the Cubs, but my loyalty lies with Torre and Donnie. Plus Matt Kemp is among my favorite young players.

Have to root for the Cubs

One hundred years since their last title? How can you not root for that (unless it was the Red Sox, one hundred years is too soon for their next one in my book)?

I think that the first round winners will be the Rays and the Sox (although the Angels will finally give them a series after bowing out in three straight in 2004 and 2007) in the AL and the Cubs and the Phillies in the NL.
