There is no assumption whatsoever, implied or otherwise, that the Cards will be involved.</p><p>That being said...</p> <p>We know they'll get home field advantage, but we don't know who they'll be yet. As I write this, before the night games are decided, there is a 3 way tie for the AL wild card. So...as NATIONAL LEAGUE fans (see above disclaimer), who do you fear most of the potential opponents from the Land Of Pitchers Too Afraid To Swing A Bat.</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Which AL team might win 11 games in October?</h5> <div id="poll_container_6070_644615460" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">5%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Oakland &quot;Thanks for Danny, suckers&quot; A's</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">11%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>NY &quot;Hey we're totally the Yankees, right?&quot; Yankees</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">2</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">38%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Bean-Town &quot;We have nothing left to talk about&quot; Red Sox</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">7</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">5%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Cleveland &quot;Red-skinned people make great cartoons&quot; Indians</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">11%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Chi-Town &quot;Yes, there are TWO perennial losers here&quot; White Sox</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">2</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">0%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Minnesota &quot;This was really gonna be our year&quot; Twins</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">0</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">27%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>LA &quot;Putting LA in our name will get us rings&quot; Angels</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">5</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>18</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_6070_644615460').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset>
