As the dust settles, we have some new teams playing with the big boys, while many of the usual suspects are still around:

Arizona makes it first modern era playoff apperance and will face off against Philadelphia, which won its third straight NL East title.

San Francisco makes its first modern era apperance in the playoffs as well against the Chicago Cubs, looking for their first World Series berth since 2002.

In the AL, Oregon looks to get the monkey off its back against Boston.

The other division series pits two of the three AL teams to win World Series in the modern era, Texas and defending champ, New Jersey.

.400? PLEASE
One reason the San Francisco Giants are in the playoffs this year is behind the bat of the Dane Sensation Orval Hajek. A year after Ben Hauser became the first man since Ted Williams to hit .400, Hajek hit .448! He hit 32 homers and had 118 RBI in his rookie season. Not bad for a guy most teams passed on in the draft of 2006.
