Astros over Braves 3-0
Cards over Dodgers 3-2 Yanks over Twins 3-2 Sox over Angels 3-1 Card over Astros 4-3 Sox over Yanks 4-1 Sox over Cards 4-2 I still like my pick from the begining of the season of Astros v. Sox... part of it depends on if they pitch Clemens Oswalt on 3days rest all series, if they do, I think they have a better shot against the Cards. Picking Sox over the yanks... not cause I'm a "homer", cause most years I don't pick them... I just think Pedro will step it up, and Wake looked good yesterday and that gives them a solid 4man rotation, and I wouldn't be shocked to see them stick w/ a 3man rotation... and the Yanks don't seem to have the pitching right now... of course if Kevin Brown pitches anything like he can... it's a whole new ballgame. I admit, the Card pitching does scare me... but time will tell. |
CMON RED SOXXXXXXXXXX FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST JUST WIN THE WORLD SERIES ONE TIME
|
LOL, VEL. WTF? Are you serious?
|
Hopefully Wakefield pitches Friday.

Astros over Braves 3-1
Dodgers over Cards 3-2 Yanks over Twins 3-2 Sox over Angels 3-1 Dodgers over Astros 4-2 Sox over Yanks 4-3 Sox over Dodgers 4-2 It's gotta happen sooner or later. We haven't won in 150 some-odd years and we're finally built the right way: Pitching and Defense (and it doesn't hurt to have the 2 best HR hitters in the AL at #3 and 4 in the lineup) |
Braves over Astros 3-2
Cards over Dodgers 3-2 Yanks over Twins 3-2 Sox over Angels 3-1 Cards over Braves 4-1 Sox over Yankees 4-2 Cards over Sox 4-1 |
Astros over Braves
Dodgers over Cards Twins over Yankees Sox over Angels Dodgers over Astros Sox over Twins Sox over Dodgers |

2) about which prediction? I'll assume you mean sox over 4-1. yeah, I am... I figure they will have take 1 out of 2 in NY and take the 3 at home. Most likely, Schill, Pedro, Aroyyo, Schilling, Pedro or Wake. I just don't see NY w/ the pitching or fire power to do it, unless Kevin Brown sudenly becomes the KB of a few years ago. The key for the Yanks is Rivera and the Sox have shown their the 1 team that can get to him. |
k, except for Game 7 of the 01 Series.

CoE you have been watching baseball for like 2 months, I'm sure you've suffered so much heartbreak over the Red Sox woes

This I know for sure........ THE RED SOX WILL NOT WIN THE WORLD SERIES
I used to cheer for them, especially against the Yankees, but since going to school in Boston and knowing their fans first hand... I decided that I hate them and I don't want them to get the World Series. I know this.... The YANKEES will NOT win the World Series, either. The New York Yankees have not won the World Series while a Republican has been in the White House since 1957 (Dwight Eisenhower). Currently and (for the future) George W. Bush is the President of the United States. Angels? They've won. Twins? I'd like to see them do it. Fuck the Braves. Fuck Rolen and the Cards. Clemens? Nah, who cares? Twins vs Dodgers |
Twins/Cards. 1987 rematch

OK quick picks :?
NL St. Louis over LA 3-1 I can't see what not to like about the Cards, 1-8 is strong, solid pitching, the only chance the Dodgers have maybe keeping it close, since Gagne is a monster. But with Pujols, Rolen and Walker all capable of the long ball, I don't see that happening. I really think that this is the time where Renteria starts to wake up as well. Houston over Atlanta 3-0 Atlanta has been horrid in Turner over the last several years. I can see Clemens and Oswalt taking over the games in Hotlanta, leaving a relatively easy take out in Houston. Altanta can manufacture runs, but if they do keep it close, Lidge... AL Minnesota over New York 3-1 To be honest, I though Yankees on this one. They swept the last home series with the Twins, and I didn't see anything on Mini over Santana. Then I looked at it; NY is usually a slow starting team in the playoffs. This is no big deal for them and are likely to scare. I was still looking at NY to win in 5, but the way I figure, Santana takes the first, but NY splits the at home. I feel that Minni with Silva can take out a struggling Hernandez for their home playoff opener, which leaves game 4 with Santana again. That's the series. Boston over Annaheim 3-2 This is the series, I could go either way. Both teams have run building and long ball capablilties. I love to see Vlady and Ramirez take batting practice out there. Bo-sox have it on the starting pitchers, not even close in the pen. I see Boston wins building out of the shoot, where Angels' wins are won in the stretch. IMO the advantage goes to D, and I like Boston's D over the second half. I think Sox will leave less players in scorring position, and will end up with a slight edge. Best series by far. |
Atlanta at home:
49-32 in '04 55-26 in '03 52-28 in '02 40-41 in '01 51-30 in '00 Where exactly does it get horrid? |
I'm ditching class to watch Dodgers-Cards. Dodgers better win!! :foc:

Not gonna happen, Apprentice.

I have to decide if its worth skipping my film class for the first half of the Twins game. On one side we're watching Scarface, on the other side its Twins baseball...AHHH

You've seen Scarface before, haven't you?

Here's my picks...Guess who wins!!!
AL: Boston vs. Anaheim Boston in 4-5. Everybody is jumping on the Angels saying "they're so hot, yada yada yada" But the Red Sox are clearly the better team. Even Pedro not at his 100% best is better than Colon. Sure the Angels have Vlad who is so hot right now, but the Red Sox have Manny, Ortiz, and an overall better lineup. Minnesota vs New York Minnesota in 5 On SportsCenter and every other national news service, they say that Santana hasn't performed well against the Yankee's and make up some stat from the playoffs last year. In fact he won game 1 pitching very well, and Mussina was really good last year. Then in his second game he had an elbow problem (which he had surgery on and it affected him this season aswell) so he didn't do so hot. He tore the Yankee's a new hole earlier this year. The Yankee's have a great hitting lineup, but Santana and Radke are both capable of shutting that down. The Twins can always find a way to win a game, and frankly this Yankee's team doesn't have it. NL: St. Louis vs. LA Dodgers St. Louis in 4 I would have loved to see this in the next round, because I think it would have been a much better series then. In the first round I can't see LA having enough momentum to get past the Cards. Houston vs. Atlanta Atlanta in 5 This one is hard to choose, and as much as I would have liked to see the Astro's get through their hex and win a playoff series, I think that the Braves are just that much stronger. Houston came back in the end of the season, but when I look at them they don't look like they are as much of a team as the Braves. ALCS Boston vs. Minnesota Minnesota in 7 Obvously the Red Sox are cursed. This will be a huge series and crazy things will happen. They always do at Fenway. Its hard to find reasoning for why the Twins will win this series, but they will. NLCS: Cardinals vs Braves Cards in six This could be a really good series, but honestly the Cards are just too good. The Braves are good enough to win two, but I can't see them winning any more. There starting pitching isn't that great is it? I hear all the "The Cards don't have the pitching" but I don't think any other team in the NL has blatantly better pitching. World Series Cards over Twins in 7 A rematch of 1987 World Series, but in the end the Cards will figure out Santana for a game and just overpower Radke, Silva, and whoeever else goes in. |
This is the 1930's Scarface though, like the original. Even so. Meh.
|
Damn it's 6-0 Cards in the 3rd
|
lol
|
Thats how the whole playoffs is going to be for them. They have four guys who have the potential to homer at every at-bat, so they are bound to score at least 2 runs a game. Add in the rest of their team and they are bound to put up at least 2 more. And thats a bad game.
|
7-2 in the Top of the 3rd.. Damnit
|
Damn Dodgers just hit a HR top of the 9th 2 outs. Sox already with a run
|
AND THATS THE GAME! (rep. pints movie reference)
|
*phew*
Vlad 0-1. We stop Vlad, we win. |
Stupid Stupid Perez....... :'(
Now we have to rely on "I'm so sleepy" Jeff Weaver... |

Yankees over Twins in 4
Sox over Angels in 5 Cards over LA in 3 Braves over Astros in 5 Yankees over Boston in 6 Cardinals over Braves in 6 Yankees win in 7 World Series MVP - Rivera, after getting the save for all 4 Yankee wins. |
Like I predicted, the Sox are just better than the Angels
|
ok, I left the TV after the 6th and put on the radio... How badly hurt did curt look? I missed it.
Injuries change it all... Curt goes down, forget about it, unless Derek Lowe gets off the sauce. |

I didn't think it looked that bad, but meh?

HALF HOUR BABY.

LOL TWINS
|
I just hope the Yankees and Red Soxs make it to the AL championship
|
YEAAAA SOX...Schilling didnt look too serious, hopefully he will be alright. I don't even know what he did, he was just running and then started grabbing at his ankle. He is a fat outta shape pitcher though, he coulda done anything who knows.
|
Quote:
He's far from fat and out of shape... He's a big pitcher, Clemens type... but there a difference between a Schilling or Clemens and a El Guapo or Wells or even Colon (haven't seen him recently, incase he dropped the weight he put on). |
Yea not saying he is Wells or anything but he isn't exactly "in shape" either. I really think he will be fine, he probably just tweaked it. Like you said it has been nagging him for a while so hopefully it won't be too serious.
He isn't like Clemens either, Clemens is pretty jacked..atleast lately |
Quote:
But hey... Wells was fat and hungover and threw a no-hitter! So, is it wrong of me to root for the Angels to win tomorrow cause I have tix Saturday and wanna be there for the 3rd win? :D |
Schill's 6'5 235
He's in Clemens shape almost exactly. Although Roger is a bit more jacked |
I don't know who I want to win between the skanks and the twins
on one hand I'd love to see NYY lose on the other, A BOS-NYY ALCS would be the best thing for game and the fans. |

This is like groundhogs day. so many double plays.
|
Minnesota looks good tonight, but Santana is flirting with danger.
|
Yea, I agree. Santana isn't really even on his complete game. Thats why its surprising the Yanks haven't scored already. Mussina pitched well though. They just can't get a hit off that monster,Santana, wen it counts.

Torii Hunter is the biggest stud. He absolutely NAILED Posada at the plate. Posada has to run 90 feet and Torii throws from 20o plus feet out and gets him easilly. Then robbing at the wall. Defense and pitching wins. Bring on John Lieber :lol: |
*Jon

Going to Yankees-Twins Game 2 tonight, field level MVP box seats. I'll let you all know how it is.

Take pictures, Torii Hunter is going yard tonight
|
Yankees better win tonight :mad:

Hey Loose Cannon
I just got Direct TV yesterday and so now I get YES, I noticed that today the only thing that was on ALL friggin day was the Yankees postgame show. Like 24/7. Is that how it always is on YES? btw, NESN's postgame show is better :p |

lmfao, the Angels shoot off fireworks on a hazy night and Vlad can't see the ball and let's it drop...
good planning... |
going into extra innings
|
GET YOU SHIT TOGETHER YANKS CMON!
|
They like to keep us in suspense :lol:
|
I already had 5 heart attacks last year during the ALCS
|
Tell me about it, being a Yankee fan is a health risk unto itself :lol:
|
stupid Jeter. Come on A-Rod
|
Ok, maybe Shef then
|
and its on to the 11th inning
|
can't wait until next season when we get a starting rotation
|
Torii Hunter, that's who.
|
God damn it the Yankees suck. :(
|
UH OH
|
JETER SCORES YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WIIIINNNNNNNN
HAVE IT. |
Damn it Jeter rules. I can't believe he scored on that shit.
|
Fuckin' A. Typical Yankee's, just like two years ago when we went up by three in the 14th, and then Giambi hit a walk-off grand slam to win it. Fuckin A.
Hell, we've already shut out the Yankee's and made Rivera blow a save, we still have the upper hand in this series. Don't get too cocky just because Jacque Jones lobbed er in. |
He scored because Jacque threw the ball as soft as he possibly could. That was the perfect hit for the Twins, Jones runs in and should have the momentum to nail Jeter at the plate early. Hunter did it from further out last night and no momentum and Jacque decides to lob it to the cutoff man.
|
Heart attack number 1 of the postseason is officially over, thank you Jericho for the Yankees W
|
I dunno, I think Jones's arm is outta gas
|
Jacque should have gone straight home, not to the cut-off guy.
|
Anybody see the Sox game, Colon walks in a run. Ortiz up, bases still load (obviously) 2 outs, DUMBASS Bellhorn snoozing on 2nd base gets thrown out by the catcher
WATTTAADICK |
I don't think he thought Jeter would even test it, I didn't either, but you can't be stupid like that in the playoffs, especially the bottom of the inning.
