I really don't think we get past Arizona. They just seem like a team that will give us fits.

[Outshined_One]

I'll only give my hopefuls...

 

Angels over Red Sox in 5

Indians over Yankees in 3

 

Rockies over Phillies in 5

Cubs over Diamondbacks in 4

 

ALCS: Indians over Angels in 6

NLCS: Cubs over Rockies in 5

 

World Series: Cubs over Indians in 6

 

With realistic predictions...you got me! I haven't followed the AL much this season, so I can't say who the better teams are, one way or another.

I really don't think we get past Arizona. They just seem like a team that will give us fits.

 

:evil: I'm similarly pessimistic.

Oh good, then it's not just me.

[XZero771679666304]

Red Sox over Angels in 4.

Indians over Yankees in 5.

 

 

Cubs over DBacks in 4.

Phillies over Rockies in 5.

 

Red Sox over Indians in 7.

 

Cubs over Phillies in 6.

 

Red Sox over Cubs in 7.

 

The hardest series to call is Phils/Rox. Both with explosive offenses, mediocre-bad pitching. Could go either way.

[CubmanPi]

Angels over BoSox in 4

Indians over Yankees in 5

 

Cubs over DBacks in 4

Rockies of Phillies in 5

 

Angels over Indians in 6

 

Cubs over Rockies in 7

 

Angels over Cubs in 5, because the Cubs will have gotten one monkey off the organization's back just by getting there, and we're not lucky enough that both would go away at once, but they'll have the courtesy to get thoroughly outplayed, a la Colts-Bears SB, rather than to do it in some heart-breaking fashion that will only add another outrageous story to the 'curse.'

[NewUserName]

If the Cubs dont win the WS I really, really hope the Yankees or Red Sox dont.

[waffle]

I just hope the ON cubs show up instead of the OFF cubs. They are so darn inconsistent.

 

I just have nightmares that the free-swinging strike zone avoiding team will show and I'll have to watch the games with the sound off and head in hands...

[Banedon]

I predict that I will struggle to stay awake during games 1 & 2 if TBS uses the same announcers that did the game last night.

 

It wasn't just the announcers. My late night threshold is so sadly weak since my son was born...I was falling asleep in the 12th inning last night and gave up and went to bed just before the 13th...just my luck.

Watch out for the Angels. Best pitching in the AL. Vlad is a guy that can carry that offense. And I like any team that can throw Lackey, Escobar and Weaver 5 times in a 5-game series and 5-6 in a 7-game series.

Angels over Red Sox in 4

Yankees over Indians in 5

 

Cubs over Dbacks in 4

Phillies over Rockies in 4

A page full of posts and Truffle is the only one that didn't pick the Cubs to get past the Diamondbacks? Are we certain everyone shared their "realistic" picks? I know we had an abundance of success against Arizona in the regular season, but....:-#
