Speaking of Predictions
We already talked about KT's postseason predictions and our 2008 season predictions, lets do our 2008 postseason predictions. The White Sox are about to beat the Tigers sending the Sox and Twinkies to a one game playoff for the AL Central so include that.
AL:
Twins over White Sox for AL Central
Rays over Twins
Angels over Red Sox
ALCS: Rays over Angels
NL:
Cubs over Dodgers
Phillies over Brewers
NLCS: Phillies over Cubs
WS:
Rays over Phillies in 6

Winner of AL Central plays the Rays
In case I didn’t make that clear
People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

My two cents

Rays over Angels
NL
Cubs over Dodgers
Brewers over Phillies
Brewers over Cubs

Of course, in my alternate, what will actually happen because baseball hates me reality, its the Cubs over the White Sox, and we’ll have to hear about the “Windy City World Series” For Freakin’ Ever!

I fear
The Red Socks vs. Cubs World Series that would make the most intolerable October in the history of mankind. There will be even more October Gonzo MLBlogs.com commercials of him enthusiastically stating the very obvious, saying things that if said on the real internets would garner huge hostile, sarcastic backlash.
The Red Socks have pretty much eaten the Angels’ lunch when they meet in the playoffs, so I hope I am proven wrong this time around. By default, I want to see the Brewers advance, because I pretty much dislike every other NL team in. Please.
But if I had to put money on this October, it would be the following:
AL:
-Red Socks over Angels in four
-Rays over AL Central
Beckett turns a good performance giving sports writers more dramatic excuses to say he’s the greatest post-season pitcher ever, and the Rays cinderella story will have to come to an end; Red Socks in seven games.
NL:
Cubs over Dodgers in three
Brewers over Phillies in five
Cubs over Brewers in six
And in traditional fashion, Red Socks over Cubs in a sweep, to give AL-ites more reasons to exclaim their supposed superiority.

I predict the Cubs
will stink it up like a bag of day old dicks AGAIN! Bwahahahahahahaha…
I wanted to say Cubs fans would cry like a bag of orphans before this is all over but my friend said that that was “wrong”, and “isn’t there voting going on?”, so I opted for the more politically correct version. Hope it sneaks me through.
Thank goodness that's over!

I think this was probably my most favoritest moment of last year’s playoffs:

Ted Lilly is such an a-hole with obvious anger-management issues. I’m surprised there are no confirmed reports of him going all Brett Myers and beating his spouse. And he’s a Cub. Any reason to spark television close-ups of Cubs/Mets fans crying in public is A-OK with me.

AJ barrelled over Barrett, and jarred the ball loose. AJ took his dear sweet time sitting next to home plate, and waited for Barrett to regain himself. And then right in front of Barrett, he emphatically slapped home plate. And as he got up to return to his dugout is when Barrett grabbed him, and gave him aforementioned haymaker.

Look at the picture again
It’s not like he had the Hollywood distance, and reared back and threw a Street-Fighter like dragon-punch or anything, the distance between the guys above, was about all the room used for the scuffle.
Imagine that scene in Kill Bill where the main chick is in the coffin and trying to punch her way out, but with so little room, she has to do that one-inch punch technique to break out. Barrett’s punch was about as effective as her first 50 punches (painless, ineffective), as AJ had more of a WTF look on his face afterwards, instead of being hurt, dazed, or angered.

I just want it to go like this
I guess the Dodgers have to lose to the Cubs in 3 to continue their tradition.
Then I’d like the Brewers to win so people in Philadelphia will shut up or be quieter for like 10 minutes.
Out of those two (CHC, MIL), I’d like it to be cancelled.
NL, come back next year.
Rays vs. Halos, WS.

I would love
If for whatever imaginary, never-gonna-happen reason, that the Brewers vs. Cubs NLCS be played in Houston.
