What goes through Aaron’s mind when there’s no baseball to watch?

Boston Red Sox (98-64, American League champions) vs. St. Louis Cardinals (105-57, National League champions)

The greatest comeback in baseball history by — who would have guessed it? — the Boston Red Sox.

With over $300 million in combined payrolls and the two best records in the league, the American League Championship Series may come down to a war of attrition. Well, that and Curt Schilling’s ankle.

St. Louis Cardinals (105-57, NL Central champs) vs. Houston Astros (92-70, NL Wild Card)

New York Yankees (101-61, AL East champs) vs. Boston Red Sox (98-64, AL Wild Card)

For the second straight year, the Yankees knocked the Twins out of the playoffs in four games.

Aaron sure picked a fine time to actually defend Ron Gardenhire.

After a victory in Game 1, the Twins had plenty of chances to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five series with the Yankees. Instead, the two teams head to Minnesota all locked up at one game apiece.

The Twins took a 1-0 lead in their best-of-five series against the Yankees behind Johan Santana and timely defense.
