According to Maury Brown and his staff at the Biz of Baseball, they picked the Tampa Bay Rays. We saw the Rays go from being one of the worst teams in baseball in 2007 to one of the best teams in 2008 as they hosted the Phillies in the first two games of the World Series.

Braves Getting Serious About Peavy
It’s Monday, the World Series has the Rays in it… if you can believe that. And I could become a much happier Braves fan. The rumors have been abounding about Jake Peavy and the Braves this week and it’s looking more and more like reality than a far fetched nicety.

Wild 1 - Lightning 0
Wild go 4-0-0 before their four day break, a well deserved break. I'll be honest, I wanted to see a shootout - to see Backs in action. From the trifecta( Koivu, Brunette, Miettinen Line ): Antti Miettinen had the only goal of the game, he continued his streak, although his game winner won't

Well That Worked Out Well
Nice job, Milwaukee Brewers. The firing of Ned Yost really turned that sinking ship around. Oh wait. Oh they lost last night? They've lost 12 of the last 15? Oh my mistake. I think at this point we can go ahead and count them out of the playoffs.

Gwinnett’s $15 Million Myth
A few weeks ago, there was a rumor circulating that a carcass of a Bigfoot creature had been discovered in north Georgia. The only problem was that no one had been allowed to see more than pictures of it frozen in a cooler. Upon further investigation, the mass of skin and fur was revealed to be
