With four teams within 5 games, the Yankees, White Sox, Twins and Blue Jays are all valid contenders for the playoffs (assuming the division-leading Red Sox and Tigers don't lose ground). Which of the four teams do you see going to the 2006 postseason and why?

Don't count any of these teams out of their divisions, either! If you think the Red Sox, Tigers, or any other team will lose their division leads but still make the wild card, feel free to mention them.

The Damn Yankees since acquiring a bat or two (Bobby Abreu and Craig Wilson) as well as an arm (Cory Lidle). The Yanks right now currently leading the AL East by one game over the Bosox. The sad thing about it is that the Big Guns of the Iron Chef and Godzilla (Sheffield and Matsui) are hurt and will/won't return to the lineup in September. Key players have stepped it up like Cairo and Cabbera who took their spots. Wang the pitcher is kicking major *** (13-4) and is tied with the Moose (Musina) in wins. The Moose should (key word "SHOULD" get his first 20 game wins of his career. He has been the force of the starting rotation. Please don't ask me why the Big Unit (R. Johnson) is a small unit. He needs to get his stuff together and soon.
The Sorry *** Bosox- Have currently have a few players on the DL and have lost a lot of games since the All-Star. The Bosox fans are very pissed off because their rivals (Yanks) had an awesome trade with Philly. Why they didn't go after Abreu remains to be seen.
The White Sox- Have been playing like crap also since the All-Star break and have loss the Wild Card race to the Yanks and currently the Bosox.
The Twins- The hottest team right now before and after the All-Star Break. They have two of the most dangerous pitchers of the game now(Liriano and Satana). Liriano is currently in the running for both the Cy Young and the Rookie Of The Year.
The Blue Boyds- They have been on a rollercoaster ride and that ride is currently taking them down since they had to terminated Shea Hildebrand due to his involvement with the Blue Jays manager. They are also NOT a threat (and any Yankee fan should now that they usually fade during the August and September timeframe). The Yanks won't take that chance since they're in the AL East also.
The four teams that will advance are the following:
AL East Champions- For their ninth straight AL East Title- The Bronx Bombers
AL Central- Detroit Tigers (if the Paleho's don't shape their asses up they will or won't be a wild card
AL West- Up in the air with Texas and Anaheim (I won't say Los Angeles of Anaheim. But watch out for the A's because they have done it time in and time out of going on a streak of games to win the West. Oakland A's
Wild Card- Could go to either Boston or Chicago. Being a Yankee fan go Chicago go.
The Twinkies and the Blue Jays will watch the Yanks win their 27th World Series this freaking year.

I hope the White Sox win the wild card if the Yankees win the division. That would knock out the Red Sox and would be just greeeeeeeat!

With around sixty games left in the season it's really hard to tell. The Twins are on a roll right now. The White Sox are not playing well. Detroit keeps surprising everyone. Boston can't get rid of the Yankees and when New York gets healthy in a couple of weeks Boston better look out!! I think this is really great for the game. No clear winner.

Red Sox will win the Wild Card because the Yankees will surge and once again claim the Division title.
Twins and White Sox will compete hard but fail in the end....

The Angels will win the wild card over the purple Sox and the Yankees have the East by technique of 10 video games. What are you loopy? you imagine the purple Sux are going to win the dept? The Yankees had it by technique of 10 video games very last year and received the season sequence. I do accept as true with you notwithstanding that the Mariners have the West

Twins behind good strong pitching, and a new found offense.
Can't bet against Liriano, or Santana!
White Sox will not be able to keep pace, If you look at last year the choked at the end of the season too!
