*Official MLB Post Season Thread*

[Johnny Rockets]

Official thread to discuss all things post season MLB. Go Phils!

World Series prediction:

Yankees vs. Cards

Winner: Cardinals...only because I think God hates the Yankees.

[Panthro]

The Yankees win only because God hates Johnny Rockets more

[Epistaxis]

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.

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!

That would be a great sports weekend.

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.

my only wish is for the Stanks to get swept in the 1st round

Well I was gonna say the same exact thing.

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

[jkeough]

Angels vs Phills...i think Philly goes on a tear in the playoffs and my gut says Angels are the best team in the AL

[Murph]

Red Sox say FU to Manny one last time with a 4 game sweep.

[pstall]

I agree with JR. Cards inch a little closer to most WS crowns.

[Kevin Greene]

Dodgers vs Yankees.

Old style.

[Claws]

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.
