The NL has been exciting all season, and last night, there was just the seventh ever one game playoff. Which ended with a controversial call, but, the Padres didn't deserve to win anyway, after they gave up a two-run lead in the bottom of the thirteenth, with none other than the best closer in MLB history on the mound. Colorado won it 9-8, and won the NL Wild Card spot, as they will face the Phillies. Here is my preview of the NL Division Series, which, by the way, starts tomorrow on TBS.
Teams
East- Phillies
Central- Cubs

- Arizona is on fire, and I don't think that the Cubs, who are supposedly surseed, will stop them from going on to the ALCS. Arizona has been hitting great, and pitching great too. I really wish that all of you Cubs fans will get over the Steve Bartman thing, though. I am not a Cubs fan, so maybe I don't know what it feels like to breakdown in the playoffs every year, but, damnit, stop always making that as an excuse. No offense, but you guys are acting like little babies, you didn't see the Sox fans making up a bunch of excuses, and they got over their curse. It would have been O.K. if you guys hadn't worn out the damn topic. I am getting off topic, so anyway, Arizona is looking like the better team right now, and for now, Arizona will advance. D'Backs. 3 games to 0.

- This is a no-brainer, the Phillies are the hottest team in baseball right now, and the wild card team is not going to end teir hot streak. Philly has had great pitching, and hitting, they have two possble MVP's on their team, JRoll and Chase Utley, I think Rollins will be the NL MVP, and if not, then there's something wrong. Phillies win big, and will easily sweep the Rockies, who, some believe shouldn't even be in the playoffs after the two controversial plays in the one-game playoffs between the Rockies, and Padres. Philly. 3 games to 0.
I think the Phillies will play the Yankees in the WS, with the Yankees adding a 27th world series title to their trophy case, and a HUGE monkey will finally be lifted off Alex Rodriguez's back. This has been a great year for Baseball, and I expect to see an even better playoffs this year.
