the just-in-case-it's-down-for-8-weeks ILBB postseason predix thread

It's good to see you be so scientific about your picks.

MIL over PHI
ARI over CHC

TBA over MIN
LAA over CWS

ARI over MIL

TBA over LAA

TBA all the way.

nym over mil
chi over ari

tba over min
laa over bos

chi over nym
laa over tba

chi over laa

though tbh i have a sinking feeling it's gonna come down to mil vs tba.

Obama over McCain

Cubs over Angels

not sure of my pics yet - but as great as TBay is doing i cannot see such a young team keeping their cool in the omgworldseries! (see: Tigers 06)

Rays beat White Sox
Angels beat Twins
Angels beat Rays
Cubs beat Mets
Brewers beat Diamondbacks
Cubs beat Brewers*
Angels beat Cubs

*Sabathia's left arm detaches, reaches backstop on first pitch of game one.

TBD

Yeah, it's too bad so many of the kid Tiggers -- Ivan Rodriguez, Placido Polanco, Magglio Ordonez, Craig Monroe -- came up short when it mattered, especially against pitching titans like Jeff Weaver and Anthony Reyes. o_0

I haven't made predictions for about 3 years, can't start now.

DS:
MIL over NYM (3-1)
CHC over ARI (3-0)
TBA over CHW (3-1)
BOS over LAA (3-2)

CS:
CHC over MIL (4-2)
TBA over BOS (4-3)

WS:
CHC over TBA (4-3)

TBA's success totally dependant on Longoria's return, BTW.

lol, one last Shasta prickpick

Rising to bait that ain't there, Morbs?

There are two reasons:

1) Red Bull (pitcher errors)
2) Several days off (lack of hitting)

Actually, there's a third reason

3) David Eckstein (German god of hustle)

That's higher than lord of hustle. Where does Fontenot fit in the hustle peerage?

A fun thread, and pleasingly in apocalyptic character for Dr. Morbius.

My brother bet on the Rays to win in Vegas a couple months ago.

CHC > AZ
MIL > NYM

CHC > MIL

TB > MIN
LAA > BOS

LAA > TB
CHC > NYM

CHC > LAA, Aramis Ramirez WS MVP

lol 'zona?

Can I change my Cubs pick? Yikes.

LOL @ NOBODY picking LAD just 8 days ago.

well, who could've seen...?

Salomon Torres makes his picks:

Speaking to reporters after he suffered a blown save and the loss against the Reds on Monday night, Torres was asked whether the Brewers need to worry about their shrinking lead in the NL Wild Card standings. His answer, emphatically, was no.

"They are in the rearview mirror," Torres said of the Phillies, who entered Tuesday three games back of the Brewers. "If they were ahead, that's a different story. But we've still got the lead, so we cannot act like we are behind them. They need to worry, not us. And the Chicago Cubs, they need to worry, because we're going to get them. That's all I can say."

oh god some clown (& not me pretending to be some clown) is going to blame ADAM DUNN for the D-Backs' collapse and say they acquired Eckstein too late

well maybe if he liked baseball...
