What are your predictions for the playoffs?

Red Sox over White Sox in five
Yankees over Angels in four
Cardinals over Padres in three
Astros over Braves in four

Yankees over Red Sox in seven
Cardinals over Astros in six

Cardinals over Yankees in six


I would like to see the white sox win it but their hitters have been known to go cold over long periods.

Red Sox over White Sox in 4
Yankees over Angels in 5

Padres over Cardinals in 4 (yes, I'm going out on a limb :D)

Yankees over Red Sox in 7

Yankees over Padres in 5 (in a semi-repeat of the last time Padres were in the World Series)

**Padres may have the worst record for a playoff team ever, but they have been playing some pretty strong ball these last few weeks of the season :cool:

Angels over Yankees in 5
Red Sox over White Sox in 5
Cardinals over Padres in 5
Astros over Braves in 5

Angels over Red Sox in 6
Astros over Cards in 7

Astros over Angels in 5

Just FYI, first series is out of 5 games.

Oops! Fixed. Thanks for calling that to my attention.

The only thing I'll predict so far is White Sox over Red Sox in 4.

Interesting Fact...

The Astros are the second team to rebound from a 15 games under .500 record to make playoffs. The last team to do it was back in 1915.

74-43 since their 15-30 start is pretty amazing. More so is their road record since starting 2-20 on the road.

Red Sox over White Sox in 4
Yankees over Angels in 5
Cardinals over Padres in 3
Astros over Braves in 4

Yankees over Red Sox in 7
Astros over Cardinals in 6

Astros over Yankees in 7; Clemens wins game 7 and announces his retirement.

You people need to quit picking the Astros to get so far, its making me nervous. I can see them beating the Braves, but I dont' think they have the offense to beat the Cards. (I hope I'm wrong) And whoever posted that the Padres will win the series against St. Louis (1 win would be the most optimistic I'd go with) must not either understand the sport of baseball or is on enough drugs to OD Mick Jagger.

Red Sox over White Sox in 5
Yanks over Angels in 4
Cards over Padres in 3
Astros over Braves in 5

Yanks do the world a favor and eliminate the Red Sox in 6
Cards over Astros in 7.

Yanks win Game 6 in the Bronx to hoist banner #27

Red over White

Gods team over the Empire


Gods team over Red (although they will be pink after a long series with White)


Red birds over Spanish speaking peoples version of Gods team

Astros over Braves

Astros over Red birds


Gods team over Astros

well, that is how I hope it turns out atleast. I've found that I am too much of a homer to make any realistic predictions

ETA: OH SCREW IT.

WHITE OVER RED. I hate the Red Sox. DIE!

No, I understand the sport of baseball just fine, thanks :)

Reasons why I still say the Padres can beat the Cardinals:
1.) We won 3 out of 4 IN St. Louis this year (yes we lost 2 or 3 in SD, but that was also the month we went 8-18 :p)
2.) We have Woody Williams on the team, who has big game pitching experience (although I don't know why Bochy has not put him in the first three games of the rotation)
3.) We have Jake Peavy & Khalil Greene - enough said ;) :D

While this team doesn't have much in the way of playoff experience together, they've persevered through the "weak" NL West with a number of injuries to key players throughout the entire season (one of the Opening Day starters was out for two months BEGINNING opening day), managed to play over .700 baseball in the month of May (with those injuries), and beat contending teams (including the Nationals, Braves, and Houston) during the course of the entire season.

So they didn't go 95-67, or even 90-72 for that matter...they're still in the playoffs, like it or not, and everyone starts off with an even record. All San Diego has to do is win three games - and they've already shown they can go into St. Louis and win there.

[/end soapbox] :)

Don't worry PolarPi. I'm pulling for the Fathers too. SoCal you know what I mean?

It would be a major upset but it's not impossible. Just jack up Peavy and Eatman on balco and it will be all good. Get the game to grandpappy Hoffman and hope Seany boy can kick ass the way he did back in his little league days when he was a fat tub of lard.

JackMeioph (4:08:06 PM): i hope godzilla steps on boston so i don't have to hear about them ever again

Bobby, I just noticed your signature. It makes me happy. I hope that someone in Jersey, like, trips godzilla after he steps on Boston, causing him to fall on New York City and he'd be so surprised he'd fart at the same time, so anybody not killed by the vast, crushing weight of his lizardy body would die of the fumes.

And, um, oh yeah, go WHITE SOX!!

Angels over the Yankees in 3 (Oh please please please)

After that I don't care what happens but I wouldn't mind if the Red Sox won again.
