[Punch]

AL West - Texas Rangers

AL Central - Minnesota Twins

AL East - Tampa Bay Rays

AL Wild Card - New York Yankees

NL West - San Diego Padres

NL Central - St. Louis Cardinals

NL East - Philadelphia Phillies

NL Wild Card - Atlanta Braves

Playoffs:

ALDS #1: Twins defeat Rays 3-2 (Matt Garza balks home a run in Game 5)

ALDS #2: Yankees defeat Rangers 3-2 (the umps favor the Yanks the whole series)

NLDS #1: Padres defeat Braves 3-1 (San Diego shuts out Braves 3 times)

NLDS #2: Cardinals defeat Phillies 3-0 (Phillies lose on walk-offs all 3 games)

ALCS: Twins defeat Yankees 4-3 (Walk-off single by Jason Repko in Game 7)

NLCS: Cardinals defeat Padres 4-0 (Cardinals demolish series by a total score of 43-4)

2010 World Series: Twins defeat Cardinals 4-3 (Amazingly, this series is exactly the same as the'87 WS. Every single pitch, play, and managerial move is duplicated in the 2010 series.)

2010 Offseason: Twins sign Brett Favre to a 10-year contract. He will be the teams' #1 starting pitcher. Yankees sign George Steinbrenner's grave to a 3-year extension.

No one thinks the Jays have a shot? They're not out of the race yet, and they handled Boston pretty well last night.

This wins the award for most homer-delusional thing said on the boards in a while. The Jays are twelve games back with a month to go. I'm sorry, but the Yankees and Rays are not the Mets, and the Jays sure as hell aren't the Phillies.
