vs



It's tough to bet against Vlad, Pujols, Mauer, Felix, Zambrano, Wang, Rivera et al in a short series. Oakland's got Haren, Glavine, Glaus, the eternal Russ Branyan, Jacobs, Ervin and Street to close the door as well as homefield, but I have to say New York will win this series in four games.






vs




Santana, Smoltz, Bonds...its tough to bet against that, though the Twins have had a great year, I can't see them getting to the LCS here. Blue Jays in 4 as well, despite Pettitte, Howard and Co. I don't see the Twins having the depth necessary, though the short series favors that.


Ill get to the NL in a bit.

i'd like to see any series try to be more intense than the NLCS of 06. EPIC. legendary, i say. will never be beaten.

NL Predictions ( sorry NL brothers, too late /tired to make you nice graphics tonight)


STL over LA in a thrilling 5 game NLDS- the pitching of the Cards is too much

ATL over CIN in a 4 game set- Brandon was on top of the NL for most of the year and I like his pitching.

ALCS: Yanks/Jays
NLCS: Cards/Reds

WS: Jays/Cards

Winner: Jays - it's Pat's year...

I think Jake pulls one off over JB... JB is generally a playoff choker.

Ask Jake how game 1 went... NYY in 07 BABY!

Whatever sim choking tendencies JB has pale in comparison to Ervin Santana's suckiness in an Oakland uniform. Someone offer me something for him.

ALDS A's in 5, Jays in 4.
NLDS Cards and Reds.

ALCS Jays in 5.
NLCS Reds

WS Jays in 6.

I did ...

Yanks over the A's in 5 and BJ's top the Twins in 5. The Evil Empire takes the ALCS and makes it to the World Series in 6 ...

Cardinals topple the Dodgers in 5 and the Reds beat the Braves in 4. The Red Birds beat the Reds in 6 winning the NLCS and take on the Yankees.

The Yankees'a hitting overcomes the Cards' pitching and takes it all in 6 games.

(Just a gut feeling and checking a number of boxes ... didn't SIM anything ...)

Gotham City opens its arms to the IBC Mets organization and welcomes them on board for the chase to the IBC World Series championship!

AL:
Yanks over the A's in 3
Blue Jays over the Twins in 4

Yanks over the Blue Jays in 7

NL:
Cards over the Dodgers in 3
Reds over the Braves in 4

Cards over the Reds in 7

WS:
Cards over the Yankees in 6

dont let me down, hick.

I know and I made you a ridiculously bad counteroffer IIRC. Lemme look at your roster again.

ugh..

sorry guys.. between issues at home, the rockies improbable run & the ensuing fever around here.. & not yet getting my computer HDD issues fixed(i think I only lost the last 6 months of 5+ years of data.. which still sucks) I've had little time to figure out how to get the reds show goin..

I'm in the midsts of securing a laptop from my previous employer & should have that done later today(thurs).. if that falls through for whatever reason, then perhaps I can(w/approval of course) have some other GM if willing hook up with brandon h2h while I relay game decisions to them, although that could get tedious.. I dunno.

otherwise, & I reallty don't want to have to do this, its submit a lineup a have the sim generate the outcome...

hope to have more clarity today.. apologies.. just a big ol' shitstorm of a life lately. & its turned another corner since john suggested an award for me(thx btw ).. seriously, you can't make this shit up...
