I, personally, am really looking forward to this year's playoffs. Hopefully the Cards can make amends for their collapse in last year's World Series! And in Cardinals news, Pujols' 40th homer of the season (and 200th of his career) was a grand slam! Awesome!

How about you? Who're you going for this time around? What are your thoughts?
