The Sox have a shot to eliminate the AL West champion from the playoffs in a quick and economical fashion, thereby justifying the thinking that perhaps it wasn't a bad thing that we missed playing the Red Sox. I'm not sure if I could take getting spanked by that motley crew two years in a row.
The Twins become the new de facto choice when the Dodgers get eliminated as my new rooting interest in the 04 playoffs. Especially since AssJack doesn't catch for them anymore.
