Playoffs are just around the corner, and if you have a favorite team or have been following one of the teams in the hunt rather well, then feel free to write up a little ditty about them going into the final days of the season ( Read more... )

Johan Santana and Chien-Ming Wang lead the majors with 19 wins. Originally due to pitch Sunday, Santana is being held back for the ALDS and Wang just got his 19th win tonight. That means the majors will go without a 20-game winner this season ( Read more... )
