Rangers vs Twins noon
The Rangers take on the Twins today in a day game at noon. Chris Young goes up against Brad Radke. Young's innings pitched is now being monitered, and he will surpass his innings pitched total last season in today's start. The Rangers are playing like a playoff team lately, especially in regard to their starting pitching....however it is too little too late. Texas is 9 back in both the AL West and the AL Wildcard, with 23 games remaining.

My Playoff Predictions
Here are my playoff predictions for the AL...I will do NL tomorrow. Please comment whether you agree or disagree.
AL West
LA Angels
AL Central
Chicago White Sox
AL East
Boston Red Sox
AL Wildcard
New York Yankees
AL Playoffs
NY defeats Chicago
I like the White Sox starting pitching to be able to somewhat contain the potent Yankees' offense, but their bullpen lacks playoff experience and their offense is mediocre at best. The Yankees starting pitching has been inconsistent all season, but the signing of Shawn Chacon has given the Yankees a valid #3 starter and the Yanks will be too much for Chicago. Yanks win 3-1.
LA defeats Boston
The Champs fall. Schilling has not been pitching well at all since returning from his injury and the bullpen is weak with a questionable Keith Foulke. The Angels have the starting pitching and bullpen...it all depends if their offense will be good enough and I think it will. Angels win 3-2.
LA defeats NY
The Angels advance to the World Series as they get past the Yankees. The rotation of Colon/Washburn/ and either Byrd or Lackey will be great for them this postseason. Either Byrd or Lackey will join the league's best bullpen to make it even stronger. Expect Chone Figgins and Casey Kotchman to have big postseasons helping relieve some of the offensive pressure off Vlad's shoulders.

Ponson released
Sidney Ponson was finally released today by the Baltimore Orioles. Hart and Showalter are really high on Ponson and if the Rangers sign him and call him their big offseason move I wouldn't be shocked.
