Running 2007 MLB Post-Season Thread

I figure I'd get this started early.

The four A.L. teams are baseball's four best; the quartet would make for an epic LCS and World Series.

Unfortunately, the National League has to be involved in these playoffs. So, congratulations to the Cubs for repping the N.L. in the Series.

 

WAY TOO SOON...

 

Tomorrow's a pretty important day. Let's get through that first.

 

Cool. Someone besides me picked the Yankees to win it all.

 

Rockies are still alive, since the Padres lost.

 

Red Sox clinched the best record in the A.L. with their win tonight and the Indians' loss.

Red Sox-Angels: Probably the best playoff matchup. I picked the Red Sox to win it all, but it won't come without a scare. Sox in five.

Indians-Yankees: Love Grady Sizmore, C.C. Sabathia and Carmona. I don't think that trio can overcome the Yankees depth. Yanks in four.

 

Still considering my picks, but the Indians have a lot more than that trio. Sizemore isn't even their best hitter. Right now, that is Victor Martinez. More importantly, Travis Hafner has been closer to his old self of late.

The real question in that series is if Sabathia and Carmona can continue to be lights out against a lineup that good.

 

Indians have the pitching to take down anyone in a short series.

 

True, watching him in the playoffs will cost me 3 years off my life. I like their bullpen besides him.... for what that's worth.

 

All that's left to decide is the N.L. Wild Card.

 

OK, who was it? Who picked the Mets to win the World Series?

 

Either spnited or Mike3D11 (I think that's his handle).
