I'm gonna make this quick because A) I can B) I actually unfortunately do have a job C) I'm so depressed from the results of my regular season predictions and my football picks from the past weekend that well they're probably gonna be wrong anyway, so why elaborate on wrong. In fact why don't I just do it in bullet point format.
Cubs vs. Dbacks: Cubs in 4
1. There will be more Cubs fan in the BOB than Dback fans.
2. The Cubs have a better lineup with Soriano, Lee, and Ram that Ass.
3. The Cubs have better top 3 starters with Big Z, Lilly and Hill better than Webb, Dougie D, and Livan.
4. Sweet Lou > Bob Melvin
5. This is too early and not enough build up for cub fans dreams to be smashed.
Phillies vs. Rockies: Rockies in 5
1. Lineups are relatively similar in talent, slight edge Phillies.
2. Starting Pitching both stinks, Phillies have a better top starter but weaker afterwards.
3. Both Managers were on the chopping block midseason.
4. Both Teams had a hot September and a massive last week comeback.
5. The Rockies are the team of Jesus.
Red Sox vs. Angels: Red Sox in 3
1. Lackey's career ERA vs. the Red Sox is miserable, which might be an understatment.
2. Escobar was terrible the entire month of September.
3. The Angels don't have a solid #3 starter.
4. The Angels are still riddled with injuries.
5. The Red Sox have a better everything right now (lineup, bullpen, rotation).
Yankees vs. Indians: Yankees in 4
1. No one will remember Arod lighting up the Indians after the Yanks lose to the Sox in the next round. Similar to 2004.
2. CC just might win the Cy Young, the last time I saw an Cy Young front runner pitch he was giving up 6 runs in a do or die game.
3. Did you see Hoffman monday, he's a hall of famer. Now wait until Borowski is trying to close a game, that'll be a shit show.
4. Saddam might be a Yankee Fan, the Indians biggest fan is Drew Caray.
5. The Yanks and Sox matchups don't get enough their due love on ESPN and national tv. But playing in the playoffs the TV execs will have no choice to play the games so people nationwide can experience the rivalry for the first time. [sarcasm]
We'll make the next two rounds super quick. Why? Cause I probably won't get the first round right so again why elaborate on a series that probably isn't going to happen.
Rockies vs. Cubs: Rockies in 7
1. Again Team of Jesus.
2. The Fuego don't stop in the Rockies until the snow comes. Do they get snow in October?
3. Game 7 of the NLCS is a good time for the Cubbies to lose, it was fun in 2003 it will probably be fun this year.
Yanks vs. Sox: Sox in 7
1. Homefield Advantage
2. I picked the Sox to win the World Series, and unlike Steve Philips I will not change my picks constantly
3. I hope I'm a jinx
Red Sox vs. Rockies: Red Sox in 5
1. AL > NL, much greater
2. Red Sox Pitching > Rockies Pitching, much greater
3. See note 2 above from the ALCS
4. Jesus has scheduled a vacation the last week of October
Cubs vs. Dbacks: Cubs in 4
