Re: 2008 playoff predictions
Wild card playoff - Padres over the Rockies
I'll take the upset. Rocks 5-3 NLDS - Rocks over Phils, 3-1 the hotter of two hot clubs -- some high-scoring games here NLDS - Cubs over Dbacks, 3-1 Cubs bullpen also tough (I doubt Dempster closes in the postseason). Dbacks aren't ready yet. ALDS - Red Sox over Angels, 3-2 Vlad isn't healthy, but Angels put a scare into the Sox anyway. ALDS - Indians over Yanks, 3-2 CC and Carmona and some nice middle relief put the heat on Joba and Rivera, and they crack. NLCS - Rockies over Cubs, 4-3 So all my NL picks are based on Fogg over Peavy... so? ALCS - Red Sox over Indians 4-2 depth in the rotation puts Sox over the top World Series - Red Sox over Rockies 4-1 Yankees -- errr, Red Sox -- expand their empire.

Re: 2007 playoff predictions
Wild card playoff - Rockies over Padres
Rockies have the game at home and I see them as a more offensive team then the Pads. NLDS - Rockies over Phillies 3-2 This series will be close. I see Colorado coming back from a 2-1 series to take them to the NLCS. NLDS - Cubs over D-Backs 3-1 Cubs have a line-up that will put up more runs then Arizona point blank. Arizona wins with Brandon Webb and suffers at the hands of lack of runs. ALDS - Red Sox over Angels 3-1 Beckett, Matsuzaka, and Schilling.. Manny's back and Papi is clutch. ALDS - Indians over Yankees 3-0 Indians shock beantown with a sweep and end the managerial job for Yankee skipper Joe Torre. NLCS - Rockies Over Cubs 4-2 Timely hitting and defense will seal the deal for the Rockies and have them advance to the World Series. They're hot September will stay hot in October. ALCS - Red Sox over Indians 4-3 Red Sox will again rely on starting pitching in this series. I got to believe Bostons bullpen blows a game or two and against a team like Cleveland.. they will capitalize. World Series - Red Sox over Rockies 4-1 The Rockies will be over matched in this series and manage only one win. Red Sox ride Big Papi and Papelbon to their 2nd World Series Championship in 3 years. Co-MVP's David Ortiz and Jonathan Pablebon.

Lackey/Escobar/Weaver and that bullpen is how you win in the postseason.

Re: 2007 playoff predictions
Padres over Rockies
Phillies over Padres Cubs over Diamondbacks Cubs over Phillies Red Sox over Angels Yankees over Indians Yankees over Red Sox World Series: Yankees over Cubs I know I just predicted the Cubs to go to the World Series - and trust me, I'm just as ill about that feeling as everyone reading this is - but I've got a strange feeling that I can't explain that the Cubs will be tough to beat in the NL. Let me add that the baseball history portion of me wouldn't be too upset if the Cubs made the World Series and were up against the Indians. Then it'd be a World Series of the two teams [of the original 16] who have the longest running dry spells since their last World Series title (Cubs in 1908 and Indians in 1948, though of course there's several teams outside the original 16 who've yet to win even one World Series). Of course, if that would happen, the Cubs still better lose and keep 1908 alive.

Re: 2007 playoff predictions
SD over COL
SD over PHI in 5 ARI over CHI in 4 BOS over ANA in 4 CLE over NY in 5 SD over ARI in 6 BOS over CLE in 5 SD over BOS in 6 Yeah, that looks silly, but 3 months ago I was telling my friends the Padres would win the World Series, so I'll stick with it. |

Re: 2007 playoff predictions
Padres flog Rockies
Phillies excommunicate Padres Diamondbacks bite the Cubs Phillies skin Diamondbacks Red Sox de-halo Angels Yankees scalp Indians Red Sox decapitate and humiliate Yankees, as God himself intended it to be. World Series - Red Sox euthanize Phillies

Re: 2007 playoff predictions
Pat yourself on the back if you predicted the Rockies to win the wild card playoff.
