After going 7 of 8 in round 1, missing only the Carolina win over New Jersey, it is time to make my predictions for round 2 of the playoffs and this should prove to be a tougher round to predict. <strong>Boston vs Carolina</strong> This is probably the easiest series to predict

Nick Adenhart, the pitcher of Los Angeles Angels was killed in a car crash last April 9, 2009 in Fullerton, California caused by a believed to be drunken driver which took the life of two other people and injured another one. Three weeks after the incident, the emotions are still high because of the tragedy but they are recovering

While most of the nation’s baseball-filled eyes will be looking at the New York - Boston series this weekend, most of the people in the middle of the country will be watching a very different rivalry: the one between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals . It’s going to be an outstanding series
