Post Your Baseball Postseason Predictions
ALDS:

Rangers beat giddy Rays in 4
Yankees beat Tigers in 4, but lose badly to Verlander.

NLDS:

Philly beats the cardinals, who put up a surprising fight, including winning the first game of the series: Phillies in 5.
Hot Brew Crew stomps the D-Backs: Milwaukee in 3.

ALCS:
Yankees can't figure out the Rangers, and Yankee pitching finally plays to payroll. Te-Has in 6.

NLCS:
Phillies in 5. They win the first three; Milwaukee ekes out a win at home, then the Phillies pop bubbly.

WORLD SERIES
Rangers choke again, but this time to a far superior team. Lee gets misty-eyed in Texas. Doc flirts with a no-no, throws a two hitter. Phillies in 4.

1. Giants fan here rooting for Milwaukee!
As bad as my Giants ended up doing, at least they didn't choke like the Red Sox last night. OH MY GOSH!!! Was that a great night of dramatic baseball or what???!

FIVE DOLLARS SAYS:


ALDS:

Rays beat Rangers in 4
Tigers beat Yankees in 5! haHA!

NLDS:

Philly clobbers the Teabagger Cardinals in 4
Milwaukee stomps, no embarrasses, no DEMOLISHES the evil D-Backs in 3!

ALCS:
Tigers wrestle down Rays in 7

NLCS:
Milwaukee beats Phillies in 6

WORLD SERIES
Milwaukee beats Tigers in 6, although Verlander wins both starts. And it all ends too soon.

Braun is MVP.

2. If the Rays don't win after last night it'll be the crime of the century.

22. Tears indeed
It's from the fans (like me). however. I don't think the players are sweating about the 2011 season too much-too late now if they are. Those trade rumors about Votto better be false or the Reds will be without one fan next season.

4. Hmm.
Edited on Thu Sep-29-11 11:53 AM by Zorra
Surging Rays take it to playoffs get Wild Card luck and send Rangers to showers in 5
Yanks sketchy pitching collapses, can't win in postseason without stopper Andy Pettitte, Tigers in 4

Philly pitching too strong, continues season ownership of Cards, Phils in 4
Hungry Brewers take Dbacks in 4

ALCS
Rays late season momentum stings Tigers, Rays in 6

NLCS
Phils pitching too strong, Phils in 5

WS
Rays late season momentum continues, cinderella Rays win in extra innings in 7th game

(I'm a Mariners and Yankees fan, BTW, rooting for the Yanks, of course)

The NL West is a clown conference.

23. They are a bit weak on pitching, but their bats might make up for it
I hope you're right.

9. Not shabby, except for the Gee Dubyas over Yanks
which would probably lead to Phils over Yanks in 6.

13. Phils win it all
I think they hit better than last year and the bullpen will be solid. Look for Howard to have a much better postseason this year.

14. Howard is a postseason choke
Anything would be better. Dude owns the World Series strikeout record.

His looking K to end the NLCS last year was a fucking embarrassment.

18. He was good in 2008, and 2009 until the Yankees. I still believe he can..
Edited on Thu Sep-29-11 06:45 PM by mvd
atone for that K. Admittedly, though, I do worry about the amount of bad at bats he has against good lefties.

20. While I'm a Yankees fan
I think they lose in 4 to the Tigers.

Rangers beat the Rays in 5

Phillies beat the Cards in 4

Brewers beat Arizona in 4

ALCS: Tigers over Rangers
NLCS: Brewers over Phillies

World Series: Tigers over Brewers
