It comes down to this: 2 brothers, former bunkmates, separated across the nation, but united as family, forced to duke it out. In one corner, The Al Pedriques (Desmond B.) bolstered by Chase Utley, Justin Morneau, the ailing Vlad Guerrero, the surging Andre Ethier, and Cliff Lee. In the other corner, The Gordon Geckos (Twainfecta) a.k.a. The Wall St. Whammers who surged from 12th place to 4th place over the course of about 6 weeks just to get into the playoffs, and who now, miraculously, find themselves in this 2-week September Classic. The Geckos boast a lineup of Alfonso Soriano, Jimmy Rollins, Manny Ramirez, Dustin Pedroia, Nate McClouth, et al. And a pitching staff backed by Jon Lester, Brett Myers, Mike Mussina, and a bunch of mediocres.
As these brothers go tete a tete, the question on everyone's mind is: who will end up on top?

is that playoff thing still going?? All I will remember about this season will be the 1000 + days my players spent on the DL, how I put off picking up Quentin when I had a hunch the first week of the season, and the homo injection selection who decided to bench his entire team the last week (in his words, a "strategic" move). May the best brother win (o sea, go Des!).
There's no way Pace's body can be keeping up, emotionally or physically, with this late-season surge without an obscene use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The playoff thing is definitely still going on... and in a big way. Viewership is at an all-time high. Things aren't looking so good right now for the Geckos but there's a lot of fantasy left to play. You can't blame Injection for trying to avoid having to face the Geckos can you?
