MLB Playoffs...or who even goes?
 

The MLB Playoffs are almost here, who are your favorites, who has no chance....heck who is even going to get in?

My Predictions for the playoff contenders:

NL
East: Atlanta (Obviously)

Central: Cubs

West: Giants (Obviously)

Wild Card: Marlins

AL
East: Yankees

Central: Twins

West: A's

Wild Card: Red Sox

Milwaukee Brewers, take it all....wooooo


in 2010

Could this be the year for the Red Sox? Alright, we ask that every year. But still...

it is... i'm depending on manny, nomah, and pedro to finally chump old man steinbrenner... I'm also hoping the phillies make the playoffs, even though 1. i doubt they will 2. they'll get beaten fast.. I'd like to see Chicago and Boston in the world series- how awesome would that be?

If the Red Sox and the Cubs make it to the World Series, the universe will end during Game 7 after 9 innings of scoreless baseball...

Seriously though, I think it'll be the Braves and the Red Sox in the WS with the Braves winning in 6.

I think the Cubs have the stuff to go all the way. They have the Manager, (Thanks San Fransisco) who knows how to effectively use his entire roster, the pitching, the offense and the defense. Tonight Estes (their worst starter) came out and pitched a complete game shutout. When your 5th starter is performing well as your other 4 aces, (Prior, Wood, Zambrano and Clement) they'll be in good shape.

Also, people have been saying the Cubs will lose because Sammy is in a slump. Yeah well he hasn't had the best of seasons, but the rest of the team has picked up the slack. Ramierez, Lofton, Simon, Alou, and Grudzielanek have really done well. If the Cubs can hold together and take the division, they will go far. The Braves are the "favorites" but remember, they lost badly in the playoffs last year as the heavy favorites.

Go Cubs!

And the year before, and the year before, and the year before...

As long as the Cubs don't win, I'm fine with anything that happens. It's weird, because it seems the northern half of Indiana roots for the Cubs, and the Southern half cheers for the Cardinals.

Go Cardnials :)

I think we all know this one........DETROIT TIGERS!!!!!!!

My world series predictions: Boston Red Sox versus the Chicago Cubs. But we never actually find out who wins because the sixth game is a compilation of "the best of citizen's bank's not your typical fan" hosted by NESN's Tom Caron. It's a darn good thing NESN even though i love it, doesn't have world series rights! Too much side crap, not enough baseball. IN all seriousness though, I think the sox will take it!!!!

Can I get a "hell yeah"?

DJ didn't get a chance to finish this statement, so I'd like to help him.

"... all the way to Atlanta and lose in 4!"

Go Cubs!

Oakland in four my left foot!! your forgetting that oakland is going with a 3-man pitching rotation. So even if they did sweep the sox (which will never happen...ever!), by the second time through the rotation, oakland will fall apart.

Sox and Cubs in the world series. Sox in 6
