It's (almost) October ladies and gentlemen, so you all know what that means!

Hockey!

The MLB postseason!

Before the year, I made some good calls, such as the Royals making the playoffs, even though I went all out and took them to win their division. I also made some horrendous calls, such as picking the Rays to win the AL Pennant, as well as having the Red Sox and Rangers in the playoffs, but I wasn't alone.

But enough about the past. There are 10 teams still alive, and it all starts tonight with the AL Wild Card game. To get you all set for the playoffs, here are my thoughts on what will happen.

Matt Cain

Yesterday, San Francisco Giants Matt "#2 starter that would be the ace on any team other than one that has Tim Lincecum, or the Phillies" Cain pitched a one-hitter. It wasn't a normal one-hitter. Other than the one hit, he threw a perfect game, throwing 11 strikeouts, while giving up 0 walks and no defensive errors behind him. Usually, this sort of game in thought of as, great game, but he got unlucky. Except when the one hit is by the opposing starting pitcher.
(Yes, you just read a word that started with a p and ended with an itcher, and I was not talking about pgftgtreevgegitcher.)
Pirates starter James McDonald grounded a single through the left side of the infield to break up the perfecto.
The opposing starting pitcher.
