As all of us true baseball fans know, the races are really heating up throughout the league for those four playoff spots in each league. I think it?s a good time for us to post our predictions for this year's playoffs and World Series. My Predictions: AL East: Yankees Central: Tigers West: Angels Wildcard: White Sox If it works out this way, then I believe the Yankees will play the Chisox and Detroit will play the Angels in the ALDS. Yanks will defeat the Chisox in 5 games and Detroit will defeat the Angels in 4. Then the Yankees will defeat the Tigers in the ALCS in 6 games winning them the pennant. NL East:Mets Central:Cardinals Westodgers Wildcard:Reds If it works out this way, i think that the Mets play the Reds and the Cardinals play the Dodgers. In the NLDS, the Mets will sweep the Reds and i think the Dodgers will defeat St. louis in 5 games. Then the Mets will defeat the Dodgers in 5 games to win the NL pennant. World Series: Subway series rematch where the Mets defeat the Yankees in 7 games and a return to baseball glory.:grin: Peace out.
AL: East: Yankees Central: Tigers West: A's WC: Angels Yankees beat the A's in 5 games. Tigers sweep the Angels. The Yankees beat the Tigers in 6. NL: East: Mets Central: Cardinals West: Dodgers WC: Reds Mets sweep the Reds. Dodgers beat the Cards in 5. Mets beat the Dodgers in 5. The Yankees win in 7 in one of the most memorable World Series ever.
American League: East: New York Yankees Central: Detroit Tigers West: Oakland Athletics WC: Chicago White Sox National League: East: New York Mets Central: Cincinnati Reds West: San Diego Padres WC: St. Louis Cardinals AL Playoffs: Tigers over White Sox in 5, Yankees over A's in 4. Yankees over A's in 6 NL Playoffs: Mets over Cards in 4, Reds over Padres in 3. Mets over Reds in 6 World Series: Yankees over Mets in 6
Sorry hiker, but after being at the Mets-Cards game tonight, I have to say that the Cards do not look like a good team at all right now (with the exception of Mr. Pujols, of course, and Rolen is doing okay too).
Man I'm the only person willing to go out on a limb.... NL East: Mets NL Central: Reds NL West: Dodgers WC: Padres Mets over Padres in 4, Dodgers over Reds in 4 Dodgers over Mets in 6 (I love the Mets but their pitching scares me) AL East: Yankees AL Central: Tigers AL: West: A's WC: Twins Twins over Yankees in 5, Tigers over A's in 3 Tigers over Twins in 6 Tigers over Dodgers in 5
I am really feeling a subway series this year. I don't think the NuYankees can be stopped this season. Boston doesn't have the pitching, Detroit doesn't have the experience.
You'd have to think the Yanks would see Santana and Liriano 3 of the 5 and maybe 4 of the 5 depending on the way it was set up. It's no as far of a reach as you think.... And this isn't directed at you keeprunning but whoever says the Tigers don't have experience have to look no further than the Marlins of 3 years ago. Who on that team had experience? Oh and coincidently the same guy that was the catcher on that team happens to be the catcher on this team. I'd also think Jim Leyland is an upgrade over Jack McKeon.
Even though they are my team, I gotta go with the Yankees. Especially if Boston and the Twins DON'T make the playoffs....
There's no guarantee that Liriano will be pitching by the ALDS, let alone pitching well. And the Yankees have always handled Minnesota pretty well (they take the Pedro approach to Santana--make him throw a ton of pitches and then hit the bullpen.) My predictions: AL East: Yankees AL Central: Tigers AL West: Athletics AL Wilcard: White Sox Yankees defeat White Sox in 4 Tigers sweep Athletics in 3 NL East: Mets NL Central: Cardinals NL West: Padres NL Wildcard: Dodgers Mets defeat Dodgers in 4 Cardinals sweep Padres in 3 Yankees defeat Tigers in 5 Mets defeat Cardinals in 6 Yankees defeat Mets in 5 Yankees win World Series
AL East: Yankees AL Central: Tigers AL West: Athletics AL Wilcard: White Sox Yankees defeat White Sox in 4 Tigers sweep Athletics in 3 NL East: Mets NL Central: Cardinals NL West: Dodgers NL Wildcard: Reds NYY VS Det Yanks in 5 Det VS OAK Det in 4 NYM VS Cinn NYM in 4 STL VS LAD STL in 3 NYY VS DET NYY In 5 NYM VS STL NYM in 7 in dramatic fashion In the repeat of the Subway seris the Yanks Crush Pedro and the Shea Faithfull in 4 games to remind the Mets and their fans who the real ball club of NY is !
Is every freakin Yankee fan going to pick a Yankee win over the Mets. What will you say next that Furman University will with the NCAA football title?
I don't exactly see any Met fans saying "Damn it, it makes me mad to say this but the Yanks might just kick our asses."
NL East: Mets NL Central: Cardinals NL West: Padres NL Wildcard: Dodgers AL East: Yankees AL Central: Tigers AL West: A's AL Wildcard: Twins Mets over Dodgers, Cardinals over Padres Tigers over Twins, Yankees over A's Mets over Cardinals, Tigers over Yankees Mets over Tigers My preseason pick was the A's to win the AL, but I just don't see them coming out of it right now.
