Radio Show Opening:

• Hi there folks, this is Chris Haddeland coming to you at KSLC 90.3 Linfield Radio. Today our show is going to focus on professional baseball, more specifically the play off race and play off predictions. Before we get started on that, lets open up with some music by the Decembrists.

Song 1 Song 2

• That last song was ________ by Common Market. To start off our special edition professional baseball show, we’re going to discuss the American League West. The American League west is a very interesting division. The Texas Rangers have already been garneted a playoff spot, but are only two games up of the A’s with three to go for the division title. The A’s, as of right now, are three games up in the last wild card spot. With one more win, the A’s are guaranteed a playoff birth. If the A’s sweep the Rangers, they will win the AL West, and not be forced to play in a wild card match up. If either of these teams sweep, there is a possibility that they would have to have a one game playoff verses either the Tampa Bay Rays, who need to sweep the Oriels, or the Los Angeles Angels, who play AL west worst, Seattle. Although any of these situations are very unlikely, we could have a mess of a wildcard playoff system in the American league.

• Intro into next song Song 3 Song 4

• Say last song • Time and weather • For our next division, we’re going to move to the AL Central. This division may be

the cleanest in all of baseball, with the Tigers 3 games ahead of Chicago with 3 games left. Neither of these teams have a shot at winning the wildcard, and will likely play the team with the best record in the AL in the playoffs. Although they may have to play the best team in the AL (Texas, New York, or Baltimore) they are set up for a nice playoff run. The Tigers have pitching that is designed for the play-offs. With Justin Verlander and Doug Fister as a one two punch, they can compete with any other pitching staff in the AL. Not only do they have those two guys, but Matt Scherzer is hitting his stride, and can make for a deadly 1-2-3 attack. Another added bonus for the Tigers is that they are able to have their pitching set up perfectly for the first round. While the other four teams that will be in the play-offs will be fighting on

the last day to hold their spot, or will have to play in a wild card game, the Tigers will be able to sit back and rest their studs. I predict a long play off run for the Tigers, with solid pitching and great power hitting fueled by triple crown threat Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder.

Song 5 Song 6

• Say last song • Time and Weather • And the third and final division in the American League is the Al East. The Yankees

and the Orioles have already clinched play-off spots, but are still fighting for the division title. This may come to hurt both teams, as they could be exposed by using their top level pitching late in the season. Whoever wins that division has an excellent shot at making it to the world series. New York has all the talent in the world, and Baltimore is just having a special kind of season. I would love to see Baltimore make a run at the world series, just because it’s been such a long time since they’ve done it, and no one gave them a chance at the beginning of the season.

• Introduce next song Song 7 Song 8

• Say last song • Hi your listening to KSLC 90.3 Linfield Radio, I’m your host Chris Haddeland and

tonight we’re talking MLB baseball, specifically play offs. In the last hour I went over the American league and if you didn’t catch it, I’m predicting that the Orioles will win the East, with New York getting the Wild Card, Detroit will win the central, and Texas will win the west, with Oakland winning the final wild card position with out any trouble.
