I'm gonna say Rockies vs Angels.

Why?

I have no idea.

Mostly because I don't think I have heard anyone else pick this matchup and I'm sick of hearing about every other team that is involved.

Yeah, pretty stupid.

And that is probably how it will turn out. In recent memory, it usually is one of the underdogs winning it all isn't it? Rockies are hot and that usually carries into the post season in baseball. Angels are a very solid team also.

The Yankees win only because God hates Johnny Rockets more

If by chance it is Yankees vs. Phillies in the world series...I believe game 4 would be in Philly on the same day the Eagles would be playing the Giants across the street. Would be awesome to be in Philly that day.

Road trip? Free meals and place to stay!

The stat geeks that come on the local sportstalker pretty well have it that once the postseason starts, you CAN indeed "throw out the records" when it comes to baseball.

The "best" teams don't always win, and it is something of a statistical crapshoot as to who gets to the WS and even who wins.

Homefield advantage is not particularily significant either.

Dunno, I just think it would be kinda funny if the Angels and Rocks get in, since every TV east of the big river will be tuned out.

And the New York/Boston contingent will be pouty.

I'm just SOOOO glad the Bears are playing ok, otherwise I'd be on suicide watch and/or heavily medicated.

Well I was gonna say the same exact thing.

Rockies may not get there, but I really think this is the Angels' year.

Pitching trumps everything else.

That's why I'm taking the only staff with 5 starters with 10+ wins this year.

Rockies

Vs

Red Sox

I think a healthy Wake, Beckett, Lester and Papelbon take down the Evil Empire.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
