Texas has an 0-12 record on the road versus the other 3 AL playoff teams(Min, TB, and NY). I have a hard time seeing them getting past Tampa without home field advantage. I think they are a fun team to watch though, and wouldn't mind seeing them advance.

I would like to see Texas win because it's taken them so long and finally they've made it to the post-season, but I just don't see them getting by Tampa. So I'll root for Texas, but won't be shocked if they get swept.

I'll take the Rays. I'm unsure about the pitching staff and Longoria's health though. Lee might be able to steal Game One.

I could see the Rays getting no hit in Game 1 and still win the series.

Uh oh, my Twins are gonna face the Yanks. All I know is that our starting pitchers better get it together. Im not worried about their offense though. I think the Rangers have a chance and it would be awesome if they won this series since it would be their first time ever to win a playoff series.

I'm picking Texas. Cliff Lee in a short series doesn't need much help to seal it away. That's why I didn't want the Yankees to win the AL East.

Texas win 5-1. Lee pitched great outside of the first. I said he might be able to steal game one. He didn't steal it, but pitched very well and gave his team a chance to win.

Haha, I don't have anything against the Rays but I hope the Rangers close them out just so they can finally win a postseason series. They're the feel-good story of the playoffs.

The first game of the postseason was a joke in Tampa, glad to see a real crowd show up in Arlington, but i am disappointed in that weak bunting hanging around the stadium, someone is either lazy and/or cheap......

Davis vs Hunter tomorrow. If Rays keep it going, it's Price vs Lee again.

That whole series was one big buzzkill. The road team won every single game. Nobody in the stands went home happy.
