Boy, it must be tough to be a Texas Ranger. Beat in the Series twice in a row and then upset by the A's with a 13 game lead.

For me....The Orioles keeping me glued to the T.V. for the entire season! It's been a long time since that's happened.

For me, 9 teams to chear for and one to root against. Not saying who but let's hope they get knocked out quickly and I can enjoy the rest of the post season. Go Nats, Cards, Braves, Giants, Reds, O's, Rangers, A's or even the Tigers!!

So very true, hard to enjoy the postseason until one of the ten teams is eliminated. Not sure who I want to win but wouldn't mind seeing a Nats/O's WS. As long as one of the nine teams you mentioned wins, it is fine by me. I like seeing teams win the WS, not buy it.

One thing about Omar Vizquel. He didn't play much shortstop since coming back to the AL in 2009(55 games total), but it is amazing that he didn't make one error at the position in any of the last four years! You would think one would get away from a guy in his 40's that whole time just from rustiness but nope. Finished with a .985 fielding percentage, listed 2nd on baseball-reference just under half a point behind Troy Tulowitzki, but Vizquez has over 8000 more chances at shortstop so I don't think Tulo should really be rated there just yet.

There could possibly be another great retire, Darren Oliver. The Jays have an option for 2013 but who knows. Darren had a superb season this year and i would love to see him back as a Jay.

The Nats winning 96 games and the NL East is huge for this team and for Washington, DC metro (where I live). What a major turnaround! Surprised no mention of Bryce Harper?! Here's hoping to see the Nats go all the way.

Ugh, try being a Minnesota Twins fan. At least the other cellar dwellers (99 losses last year, 96 this year) have hope, even the rebuilding Stros and the Cubbies, but things are bleak for the Twins whose best players (not including Mauer) are still in A ball.

A Bay Bridge World Series? A's and Giants! The last time that happened, we had a major earthquake here so I'm not sure I'm rooting for that. The A's were a great story here. Buster Posey for MVP? It's a great year to live in the SF area.

I'm hoping its Yanks against the Giants. I'd give anything to be at AT & T for one of those games.

I agree, it was a great season.

Not sure about the movie-team scenario.

I remember a couple movies called Major League & Major League 2 and they did nothing for the Indians.

+1.. and with Posey a true MVP candidate (Kevin Mitchell) and a 4-1 Niners squad, it really is 1989 all over again.. hopefully minus that quake. I just got my tix to game 1 on Saturday and if it's half as electric as NLDS game 1 in 2010 when Timmy had 15 K's, it'll be the best money I've spent this year. Go Giants!!.. but like the previous poster said, it's really tough to not root for any of these other teams (A's, O's, Nats, Braves and Chipper, etc).
