no one picking the Reds so far!

picking phillies to lose with halladay-oswalt-hamels is the biggest challops you could do here

Phillies in 4
Giants in 3
Yankees in 4
Rays in 3

I'm picking who I'm rooting for, to do otherwise is bullshit.

Morbs, nobody thinks that they have magical powers and can predict the winner of a short series ... except for me that is, BET THE FARM ON THESE:

Phillies in 4
Giants in 4

Twins in 4
Rays in 3

I pick who I root for, and I'm rooting for all the teams that have never won a Series before. In order of who I'd most like to see win: San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Texas. And if not them, Minnesota.

oh if its who i'm rooting for then uh

MIN CIN TBR ATL

xp i feel like texas should be first if that's your cause, considering that they haven't won a series before, let alone a Series

Twins, Rangers, Reds -- can't pick between Giants/Braves (two teams I like in roughly equal measure [though I do own a Braves hat, so maybe I should go with them]).

Guessing much will be made of Oswalt's 23-3 lifetime record versus the Reds -- nevermind that he hasn't done well against them in 2010.

i can't decide whether 'lifetime record against team X' or 'batter is 4 for 7 against pitcher' etc. is the worst statistical misappropriation in baseball broadcasts

texas should be first if that's your cause, considering that they haven't won a series before, let alone a Series

Hadn't considered that...I just think the Giants had the most traumatic near-misses in '62 and '02, plus the city dealt with a lot of vilification over Bonds.

Only two position players from the 2007 Reds roster remain (and Votto barely counts)!

As a big Braves fan, I definitely didn't pick who I'm rooting for. Rooting Braves, Reds, Rays, Twins.

Nyy in 4
Rays in 4

Phillies in 3
Braves in 5

NYY in 3
TEX in 4

PHI in 4
SF in 5

does MLB.TV have proper postseason coverage or is it just all blacked out since its on national tv?

I think all of the LDSes and one of the LCSes are on TBS. Fox has the other LCS and the WS.

yeah i don't have cable anymore and am trying to figure out if i can watch the TBS games

guess i'll have to hit up the shitty webstream sites

I'm pretty sure mlb.tv has no live postseason.

If it's NYY-TEX-PHI-ATL, I may bail totally on the LCS. The Rangers could be the least loathsome team in that quartet.

Sorry, misread mlb.tv as MLB Channel.

only teams i really loathe this year are NYY and PHI

which probably means we're bound to get a '09 redux

Would like to see Twins vs. Anyone-But-Phil

Rays 3
Yankees 5
Phillies 3
Giants 4

Rooting Rays, Twins, Reds, Giants

I pick for who I think is going to win, not who I'm rooting for, because it's fun to try to guess things.

If you want to make god laugh, make a plan predict who will win baseball games.

I am rooting for anyone but the Phillies or Yankees, basically.

-for

Seconded. But add the Giants to that list of hate.

does MLB.TV have proper postseason coverage or is it just all blacked out since its on national tv?

they do have post season coverage for $9.95 to get all the games.

it seems it's not the actual tv broadcast though, its just some random camera angles plus radio

you have to be outside the US to get the tv broadcast online as far as i can tell

I don't hate any of these teams except for the Yankees. I don't like the Rays because they're in the same division as the Blue Jays, but they're not a hateable team or anything. I'm neutral on the Reds and Rangers, have soft spots for the Giants and Braves, and I like a lot of players on the Phillies (I couldn't care less about the team or the city though).

If I'm rooting for just one team then it's the Twins.

yep the twins are the feelgood bandwagon pick this year

Kinda okay with all of the teams except the Yanquis.

Don't think the Braves or the Twins can make it too far though.

Reds are managed by Dusty and we all now how well his postseasons have gone.

I'm thinking it's gonna be PHI vs. TAM but to get there it will be:

SF in 5
PHI in 4
NYY in 5
TAM in 5

NYY in 4
TBR in 4
PHI in 3
SFG in 5

btw my preseason predictatron of NYY over ATL is still possible! though i wouldn't pick it that way now of course

A Braves-Yanks series would blow my fragile eggshell mind.

Reds are managed by Dusty and we all now how well his postseasons have gone.

Yanks and Braves are the only teams i'm rooting against.

Reds all the way. Don't know if it will happen, but that's what I want.

But add the Giants to that list of hate.

mayor's a Dodger fan, he can't help but hate.

for some reason the reds remind me of the '04 red sox; top offense in the league backed by a questionable pitching staff featuring bronson arroyo

I'm finding it hard to root against the Bobby Cox retirement tour, TBH. Although my preferred WS would be Giants-Twins or Phillies-Twins.

Yanks sweep - called it!

i want to see Bobby Cox get ejected from a WS game 7, what a way to go.

oh if its who i'm rooting for then uh

MIN CIN TBR ATL
