As the regular season nears the end, a some teams, such as the Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, and Red Sox, Angels, and Cardinals, have all clinched their playoff spots. What are your predictions for the playoffs?
I'm obviously cheering on the Phillies and I think they can/will go back-to-back; how about you guys? I'm leaning towards the Angels for the AL team in the World Series.

As a DIE HARD NY METS fan, I was hope'n to see them v. the TIGERS. I would like to see the Tigers and St Louis, but my hopes aren't that great any longer. I do however have a practicle feeling that the Yankees and Dodgers may go to the finish. I would much rather see the Angels and Cards.

I would like to see a Monday playoff between the Tigers and Twins that goes 15 innings and Verlander pitches 10 of them.PS I am a Yankee fan in case you could not tell.

I'm hoping the Tigers can just clinch their playoff spot either tonight or tomorrow so we can rest Verlander. I'm excited to see the playoffs start, but the Yankees will be a very, very tough match up.

The Phillies and Cardinals are looking good. I have not seen the Cardinals play this year since I watch mainly the American League, but they may have the best pitching staff in the Majors. My Red Sox really slumped in the last two weeks, and they have stumbled into the playoffs. Nonetheless, I have high hopes they can muster some enthusiasm and beat the Angels, but that will not be easy. The Yanks should have an easy time vs. the Tigers.

The Phillies seem to have some pitching problems, so for me the jury is still out. Although I live fairly close to Philly, they aren't really my team. Having been born in Baltimore, I'm more of an Oriole fan.. (I know..but I have never been just a fair weather fan...gotta stick with your team no matter what.)

I'd much rather you be a devoted Oriole fan than a fair-weather Phillies fan. At least they've won a few World Series titles too.

I am glad that the Tigers and Twins have to play off the last spot in the American League playoffs. It gives me something to watch tonight. After that, I almost hope the winner knocks off the Yankees, but since I am a Red Sox fan, I would rather have my boys deliver the knockout punch (after the Sox take out the Angels, of course).

I hope the Yankees get bounced in the first round so they can show us how meaningless their $230 million payroll is, like how they showed us last year by not making the playoffs.

I agree with you. Big money has too much influence in all professional sports today. By the way, in my previous post, I messed up. I said that I would watch the Tigers and Twins play tonight. A buddy just told me they are playing tomorrow.

WHAT a THRILLER---Twins and Tigers all tied at 5 each in the 12th. This is baseball at its best, no matter who wins.

That was an awesome game. I really hope the Twins beat the Yankees.

Your from that town that hates Santa sop I would expect you to hope the Yankees lose.Before you go on crowing you have to get past St Lou so you can lose to the yanks in the series.

Now that the Twins are taking on the Yanks, the playoffs are in "full swing". For baseball fans, this what we have been waiting for.

Phillies have the Yankees' number this year, and what does Santa have to do with anything?

And I'm not a fan of the 2:30 start time...

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
