Playoff Open Thread

Playoffs start today with a TBS triple-header, Phillies and Rockies at 3, Angels and Red Sox at 6:30, and Cubs and D'Backs at 10:00. To say I'm excited is an understatement. If you're looking for a comprehensive list of ex-Pirates in the playoffs, Bugs and Cranks has it. Anyways, there's a new playoff poll over on the right, so pick your World Series winner now, tell us why in the comments, and crow about it in three weeks when you're right.

The results of the Neal Huntington poll can be found here. I would call the results "guardedly optimistic" because that sounds a lot better than "confused as hell as to who the guy is."
