No Mets, But Plenty of Poetry

It is time to break out the Postseason Haiku for the first time in three years.

American League

Tampa Bay Rays
A reverse deal with
The devil, now they are good
Damn Yankees, go Rays!

Boston Red Sox
If they win again
Yankees fans will be so mad
Beat the Angels please!

Anaheim Angels
I liked Gene Autry
But am sick of this team
Please go away soon

Chicago White Sox
A team that choked
But then turned it around
The Mets should take note

National League

Philadelphia Phillies
Great hitting, clutch team
Dominant closer, J-Roll!
This could be the year

Milwaukee Brewers
I'm happy for them
I love C.C. and bratwursts
They won't go far though

Los Angeles Dodgers
Man-ny! Man-ny! Wow!
How much fun would a Dodgers
Red Sox series be?

Chicago Cubs
This won't be the year
Cubs will never ever win
No way no how. Nope.

Predictions:
ALCS: Tampa vs. Anaheim
NLCS: Philadelphia vs. Chicago

World Series: Anaheim vs. Philadelphia
Champion: Philadelphia

"How much fun would a Dodgers

No fun at all: it would kill my guts almost as badly as Yankees/Sox ALC series do. I'd be living on rolaids and fear of humiliation the whole week.

No ring for Nomar.

i'm not surprised by the dodgers winning 3 in a row despite the fact that i picked chicago.

however, if the red sox sweep, i'll be a but surprised.

i'll be rooting for the rays to go to the series but am fine if it's the sox.
