i think that my predictions would be pretty much the same as yours, but oakland might catch up to the mariners and take the west and then it would be between boston and seattle with seattle taking wild card (since im an oakland fan)...and out in the national league id go with florida with dontrell willis taking the wild card..i think that they are playing harder than the d backs since they are thirsty to get back to the playoffs..even though the d backs got the two big pitchers...

yeah oakland is a clutch second half team and they are right on the mariners heels...i would love to see the yankees start sucking it up (they have been lately) and not get into the playoffs. that would be my dream, along with a turbo'd h22 in my engine bay

i just watched his oct. 10 2001 game where he hit his 73rd of the season on espn classic...that was pretty badass. i have alotta respect for barry and the giants, they are a great team

[DsR_CB7]

they had a great game yesturday too...smacked two homers off of wagner and the astros in te 9th...pretty impressive..GO giants...

im hoping the marlins win over the giants, but im guessing the giants will win. also i hope the twins beat the fuck out of the damn yankees, i hate those queers with a passion. basically i want all the underdogs to win. i would like to see red sox v. marlins in the world series just cause the red sox deserve to be there after years of fucking up and cause i love the dontrelle willis-pudge rodriguez battery for the marlins. a reasonable guess is yankees v. braves with the yankees winning....booooooo

if theres one person who deserves a ring...its barry bonds. 8 gold gloves, 5 mvp's (6 after this year) but still no ring. last year they came close but blew it to the douche bag angels. i would like to see the giants in the winners circle this year

yeah i know what u mean, the braves have a MEAN 3-4-5-6 lineup, most home runs in the major leagues, but your right, smoltz is KEY to their success and with him not 100% is a big dent in their strategy. all i want is for the yankees to looose

yeah, i'm anti-yankee too, but i don't think the twins can take them......only if the yankees beat themselves......i'd like to see the red sox beat the yankees in the alds

ooo that would be so sweet, thats a huge rivalry. and yeah the only reason the twins won that game was because the yanks beat themselves with stupid errors.

damn you and your 1000 posts, you are flying! and you dont even whore either...mad props

[DsR_CB7]

awww man...that sucks ass...i didn't get to see the outcome of the game..juss read it right now..i was looking forward to some good news too..crap!!

one word describes the key to the victory of the marlins over the giants, and one word alone.....

PUDGE

i was very impressed with the cubs tonight...kerry wood straight up fucking owned the braves, one of the best hitting teams (if not the best). im going with marlins over the cubs though, i love the pudge - dontrelle battery

[DsR_CB7]

i agree...the a's and yankees have a deep pitching staff and some power as well...i think the key is pitching tho...

it doesn't matter, because you have two teams in the NLCS that have no chance of beating the yankees or a's in a 7 game series....5 game series favor teams that aren't as good/deep, and more than likely, they will change the first round to a 7 game series in the next year or two......both the cubs and marlins earned their spot, but they're not the best the NL has to offer......the braves just got outplayed and the giants just fucked themselves in every single game....they could gave won in 3 if not for error after error....that was sad.....the cubs have good pitching, but so do the yankees and the yankees can hit as good as anyone too.....

that is very true, the cubs dont have 1/100 of the experience that the yankees do. im really hoping tonight that the red sox beat the a's cause i just hate the a's, but i think the yankees will take down the a's if push comes to shove. but you never know, the fuckin anahiem angels won the world series last year, what a crock of shit, how bout giving it to a team that deserves it. but what can you do, i guess they played better. still rooting for the marlins though, i love em. and yeah the cubs pitching was fabulous, wood and pryor shut down the best offense in the majors, so you gotta tip your hats, but its nothing compared to petitte, wells, clemens, not to mention your postseason dream closer, rivera. we'll see what happens, im a huge mariner fan so im not into the games as much as i would with them, but im a huge fan of baseball so i gotta love it.
