PrintThe Twins just beat the Tigers 6-5 in 12th inning to seal their fate as the team that will be decimated by the Yankees in the first round. The playoffs start tomorrow with the following games:
- Rockies @ Phillies, 2:37 ET (Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Cliff Lee)
- Twins @ Yankees, 6:07 ET (TBD vs. CC Sabathia)
- Cardinals @ Dodgers, 9:37 ET (Chris Carpenter vs. Randy Wolf)
The Red Sox and Angels will play game 1 of their series on Thursday.
So what are your predictions for the postseason? Here's what my crystal ball tells me:
Division Series
Yankees over Twins
Angels over Red Sox
Phillies over Rockies
Dodgers over Cardinals
Championship Series
Yankees over Angels
Dodgers over Phillies
World Series
Yankees over Dodgers

angels over dodgers
I picked the angels also
secretly I think the red sox will beat them, but I hate the idea of the red sox and yankees playing each other because I’ll have to hear even more about the most storied rivalry in the history of sports. I also think the Cardinals have a better than good chance of knocking off the Dodgers but I want Flat Breezy to go to the WS.

This has been an impressive decade for the Twins
They’ve won five division titles and haven’t had a losing season since 2000.
Not too shabby for a team with a measly payroll that routinely lets it best players get away.
i dont see the dodgers getting to the WS
NY over MIN
LAA over BOS
STL over LAD
COL over PHI
NY over LAA
STL over COL
Cards steal the WS again (i hope) but that team who beat the tigers was probably the worst team to win the WS ever, my god they sucked.

Dodgers
all the way to the ‘09 WS, and I see them taking on the Skankees, but I see the Dodgers winning it in 7, they have just as much firepower at the plate as the skanks, and maybe the Skanks have a little bit better rotation, just a little. No matter being born in LA (but converted O’s fan here) I have to go with the Dodgers, only wish it was the O’s in the playoffs, oh well like the Cubbies say “Wait till next year!”
Here ya go....
NYY 3-1 MIN
LAA 3-2 BOS
LADF 3-1 STL
PHI 3-1 COL
LAA 4-2 NYY
LAD 4-2 PHI (This is the series they got Flat Breezy for)
LAD 4-2 LAA

An all LA WS?
I could get behind that. I also always enjoy an all mid-west WS. Bring on the Twins vs. St Lous!

i picked that too
but i think the angels lineup has a better chance against the questionable dodger pitching than the dodgers lineup has against ok angel pitching
Dodgers are my second team
I pick them every year they make the playoffs.

all those 10 pm starts would be fun...
Actually, I know they would do 5 pm local starts, which would suck for them.

It's Rocktober!
But I’m rooting for the Dodgers.
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
All guess work at this point, but here goes
NYY
LAA
PHI
STL

STL

LAD is an interesting case. Personally don’t think they have the arms to counter Pujols.
But suppose they pull it off – Torre & Manny winning would piss off NYY & BOS fans in one shot. But does a fan base that tosses around beach balls for 7 innings and then leaves REALLY deserve a championship?
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.
the question is
do the YankSox really deserve another one? Give me the Dodgers any day over the alternative
In terms of most desrving fan bases I'd go with the 2 midwest teams
STL & MIN have knowledgeable fans who show up and competent FOs that put no worse than respectable teams on the field every year with only middle of the pack payrolls.
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.
They do the beach balls thing at Fenway also, don't they?

Ray Rice is so agile. He's a whole new breed for agile you need a new word to describe his agility... UBER-AGILITY!

Prediction:
ALCS: MFY over LAAOAOCCA
NLCS: Phils over Cards
WS: Phils
I’m rooting for the Twins and LAASDFQWERTY, and I’d love to see a PHL vs LA series.
I’ll miss most of it though, since I’m going to Argentina until the end of the LCS. Gonna catch a futbol game…FIFA 10 qualifier Uruguay v Argentina if tickets can be had. Because if you have the opportunity to see 2 south american national teams in a 1930s south american stadium, you take it.

LAA over MFY
COL over MFY
