Cubs over Dodgers in 3
Phillies over Brewers in EDIT: 4- I just saw on ESPN that CC won't be pitching until the 2nd game, meaning that game will be the only one the Brewers win.

Newark, DE.... You wouldn't happen to be a Phillies fan, would you? I think they've got a great bullpen, Hamels is the real deal, and Howard kills the ball every time he makes contact, but don't have the starting pitching depth that the Cubs have to win a long series. I like the team a lot, though, and they're probably my second favorite NL team behind the Cubs. I have ZERO confidence in the White Sox, they're ready to collapse at any second. As for the Angels, I don't think they'll get past the Sawx- too much playoff confidence and history against the Angels. They're evenly matched, IMO, so I'll give the nod (reluctantly) to the Sawx based on intangible bullcrap.

Now, w/r/t Milwaukee, I just don't see it. CC is all they have, their bullpen is a total disaster, and though they may be pumped about making the playoffs, I really think they're gonna lay an egg. Again, I really have confidence in the Cubs' starting pitching and not a ton in the Dodgers- I just don't think they can hang, and the offenses of both clubs can go toe to toe. IF the Angels can get by the Sawx, I agree with you that they'll beat the Rays and quite possibly win it all. I'm just not confident they can win that first series.


We are on the same page, I just think the Cubs are more experienced and will be more energized in the WS than the Rays. Again, I know that's intangible bullcrap that I would normally ridicule, but things are different in the playoffs, I really do believe that.

What? You're normally such a homer, whats wrong with you?

Then again you're not normal.

Because i was a Red Sox fan before 2004 and so know a little what it is to be a Cubs fan... Those guys need a break.
And an AL pennant will be nice for us anyway.

Part of me would love to see a dodgers-redsux series, just to see torre and manny go back to boston.

Oh, complete homer pick! I have trouble seeing the Phils get by the Cubs (if it goes there), but I think there is a chance. I doubt Zambrano's health, and I think the Cubbies might succumb to the pressure of the WS drought and having the best record in the NL. But we shall see...I probably wouldn't lay money on it.

I do think though that if they do face the Cubs and win in an upset, they will have a sht ton of momentum going for them.

Cubs over Angels in 6 games in the Series. A celebration to beat all celebrations in Wrigleyville afterwards.

I agree with that- if they beat the Cubs, I think they'll go all the way

And I just moved away from Wrigleyville 5 months ago!

This is what I thought prior to game 1's

PHI over MIL in 4

TB over CWS in 4
LAA over BOS in 4

See, this is why I don't bet.

Even though as I type this, the Rays are three outs away from disposing of the White Sox in 4 games.

Dude, looks like you were right about Philly- congratulations! I'm pullin for them regardless of the opponent.
