Matchups are all set, let's get your predictions.

[Derwood]

my hope is that A-Rod hits .900 while the Yankees get swept by Cleveland. SPIN THAT NY MEDIA!

[USSoccer]

I think Arizona beats us in 4.

[moorecg]

my hope is that A-Rod hits .900 while the Yankees get swept by Cleveland. SPIN THAT NY MEDIA!

 

And Jeter goes 1-32

and 0-fer with runners in scoring position

Is this your way of dealing with possible disappointment? Because out of all the matchups, this one doesn't scare me. If we get past Arizona and have to play Phillies...now they scare me.

[Outshined_One]

Good lord, I'd be an emotional black hole if we went seven in both those series

 

I think I'd go from "occasional lush" to "full-blown alcoholic" if that were to happen.

I think it's his way of dealing with the stupidity that is the ARod hate in NY come playoff time.

correct. i want the Yankees to get killed, but it to be 0% A-Rod's fault. then, when the media somehow still lames him, he'll opt out and sign with the cubs

[killthegoat06]

I want Yanks to lose so Arod opts out.

[Exile on Waveland]

I have pretty strong feelings/opinions on the NL, but am torn on every AL series (current or potential). Here goes:

 

Red Sox over Angels in 5

Indians over Yankees in 5

 

Cubs over D-Backs in 4

Phillies over Rockies in 4

 

Indians over Red Sox in 7

Phillies over Cubs in 5

 

Indians over Phillies in 6

[Careless]

I wonder how much tickets to a Cubs/Yankees or Red Sox WS game at Wrigley would go for...

[DivineBovine]

Cubs over Az in 4

Philly over Colorado in 5

 

Angels over Bosox in 5

Yanks over Cleveland in 4

 

Cubs over Philly in 6

Yanks over Angels in 6

 

Cubs over NY in 7

[DivineBovine]

What's with all the Cleveland picks? Have we forgotten about JoBo? JoBo + Yankee lineup = batting practice.

Hopefully there will be other variable "stuff" in the Indians favor, or they will need to have a good lead by the 9th.

I like their offense and their starting pitching has been solid. Despite Jobo's presence, they have some other guys in the BP who can handily close out games when needed.

I wonder how much tickets to a Cubs/Yankees or Red Sox WS game at Wrigley would go for...

 

A matchup like that would mean jr. doesn't go to college.

I did check playoff ticket prices today, and there were people on stubhub trying to sell WS tickets for the Cubs for $20,000 each! I am as passionate about the team as they come, but seriously, who buys those?

Let's hope he's not dancing with the stars this weekend.

wow, 20 grand?

 

that is loosely defined as...it is time to bite the bullet and turn on fox

If the Cubs make it, I'll be content to fly up to Chicago and hang out in Wrigleyville. Just for the atmosphere.

 

I'd never forgive myself If the Cubs finally won it all and I was over 1000 miles away.

[Guest]

my hope is that A-Rod hits .900 while the Yankees get swept by Cleveland. SPIN THAT NY MEDIA!

 

He would ground into a double play to end Game 3 and complete the Indians sweep.
