the sox will be champs

the playoffs haven't even begun, and already two teams have met gruesome fates --- epic choke jobs. the field is now set, and the poll is up to determine which team gets the honor of our official endorsement. . . . . in a shocking development, the rockies have a massive early lead in the voting. who saw that coming? last night's memorable win was the second walkoff 9-8 victory in colorado's incredible 14-1 sprint to the finish; back on september 18 they trailed 8-7 vs the dodgers heading into the 9th and won on a 2-out, 2-run dinger by todd helton, completing a doubleheader sweep. when this rally began, the rocks were in 4th place in the nl west and 4th in the wild-card chase; they scored 102 runs in the 15 games (including that one the holliday didn't score in the 13th last night), or just shy of 7 per game, while allowing just 51, or about 3.5 per game.
so let's run a little contest: name the 4 lds winners, the 2 lcs winners, and the world series winner; state the score in games of each series. my picks as follows:
cubs v diamondbacks
very interesting matchup. arizona has the best starting pitcher in the series and the lock-downest bullpen on the nl side of the bracket; the cubs have the better manager and by far the more potent lineup. i figure b webb is good for at least one win, and the dbacks' bullpen is probably good for another; and i can easily imagine ryan dempster blowing a late lead. so it's very tempting to pick arizona . . . . but i'm gonna go with the cubs, because their bats give them a greater margin for error. they can overcome a bad pitching performance or a blown save and still win the game; i don't think that the dbacks can. if they don't get great pitching on a given day, they are hosed --- with their offense (14th in the league in runs scored) they aren't going to win many 5-4 or 6-5 games this month. plus, there's a glaring gap here in run differential --- cubs + 62, dbacks -20. i'll take the cubs in 5 games.
rockies v phils
last night's game may have just been a warmup; 9-8 could end up looking like a pitcher's duel in this series. the phils led the league in scoring, and the rockies finished 2d; they were 13th and 8th, respectively, in era. the phils have the best starting pitcher (hamels) in this series (and he'll be available twice), plus better overall rotation depth; the rockies have jeff francis (an extremely underrated pitcher) and the better bullpen. neither manager strikes me as particularly shrewd. of all the outstanding young players who will be on display in this series, troy tulowitzki impresses me the most. he wears #2 because he grew up idolizing jeter, and he reminds me of jeter --- the guy's a presence, and he won't back down. on account of that, and the phils' extremely untrustworthy bullpen, i'm taking the rockies in 4.
yankees v indians
i know so little about the american league [UPDATE --- including what the matchups are] . . . . i do know that these american league teams are embarassingly better than their nl counterparts. you've probably realized by now that not a single one of the national league playoff teams would have qualified for the playoffs in the al --- the nl's best team (arizona, with 90 wins) would have finished 4 games back of the worst american-league qualifier. . . . . i'll take the yanks in this series because a) they had a run differential of nearly +200, and b) the indians have joe borowski closing out their games. i hate to diss my countryman and (no doubt) very distant cousin --- he's got the right demeanor to close out games, but he just doesn't have the stuff. cc and fausto are great equalizers and could singlehandedly win the series for cleveland. i'm still taking the yanks in 4.
red sox v angels
the red sox' run differential was even better than the yankees', at +210. they have a deeper pitching staff than the angels, as well as the single best starting pitcher in the series (beckett). it's been shown that power-hitting teams like the sox have a bit of an edge in october over slap-n-run teams like the angels; whether that will manifest in this particular 5-game series, i don't really know. but i'll pretend that i do: sox in 3.
beyond the first round, i'll take the cubs over the rockies in 5, and the sox over the yankees in 6, and the sox over the cubs in 5, with the former cursee denying the reigning one. fox will be happy w/ the ratings, anyway. . . . . . hope all the games are as interesting as last night's was. but no need for them to run 13 innings . . . . .

Big Problem

My Predictions
I'll take the D-Backs in 4! I see Webb winning two on his own and Demster losing one on his own. I like the D-Backs pitching a lot better and that is what matter is October.
Rockies/Phils
Phils in 5. Most interesting series...no pitching besides Hamels in the whole thing. I like Philly's offense a lot better, but the big MO is on the Rockies side...thats what makes it go 5.
Phils/DBacks
Philly in 6. I see webb and hamels canceling each other out, both winning 2 games. The Phillys are the only team that can cancel out a pitching staff and besides Webb, I dont see anyone holding down Utley/Rollins(08 MVP)/Howard/Rowand. Phils hold on in some high scoring affairs.
Yanks/Indians
Yanks in 5... CC wins 1 and Carmona ends 1. Yanks get the advantage in the pen and in the offense.
Halos/BoSox
I like this series...probably the toughest to call...I'll take halos in 5. and that is just because I hate Schilling and dont want to hear him talk anymore! Pretty evenly matched series in my mind.
Yanks/Halos
Yanks in 7...Just dont see the Halos solving A-rod and Jeter.
WORLD SERIES
Yanks in 6 over Philly.
Philly can hit, but Yanks only team that can match that. Phils will win 1 games with Hamels and one with the Off. alone...other than that Yanks dominate the games Hamels doesnt throw. God it hurts to say the Yanks are going to win.

Predictions
Now for predictions I don't want to get into specific scores but I predict:
Zona in 4 over the Cubs, I think if Webb can start twice Zona has it in the bag, they also have homefield advantage to win the first two before heading to Wrigley.
Rox in 3, they are hot and while the Phils are too I just feel a sweep is coming.
Indians in 3 I think the Yanks will falter, a young rotation, an old Clemens and an anti October ARod, I fully expect a very early exit.
Angels in 5, this is the series that will be most exciting to me, Weaver and Dice K while both are really still new pitchers to MLB it will be fun to watch em.
Rox in 6 over Zona momentum will be lost at first but they get 3 at home in the middle of a 7 game series, they are great offensively at home, as long as they can get one road win I think the Rox have it.
Angels over Indians in 7, another exciting nail bitter, but who knows like lboros I know so little about the AL.
Rox over Angels in 5, again they have 3 at home in the middle of this series.

From "Umpiring 101"...
The TV angles were lousy on that play... the cameras used by TBS both had the play going away from the lens. The umpire, however, had the play coming toward him! I dunno if Holliday touched the plate or not from those replays; but I'm sure Timmy Mac did!
Or, he could have been thinking, "Jayzus, I've been out here for 13 freakin' innings already... If I call this guy out, who knows how long it'll take these donkeys to finish the game... Hell with it, he's safe!" Nahhhhh.... (grin)

Mediocore NL
For example, best team had 90 wins (d-backs), worst had 68 (pirates). When was the last time there was only a separation of 22 wins between the best and worst team in the league? Or for playoff teams, 90 for dbacks and 85 for the Cubs, 5 games. Or possibly the win average of the playoff teams.
Basically, is there any good metric to describe it?

Throw the stats out the window...
Okay the Cubs will probably squeak by the DBacks.
And the Rockies will take care of Philly with ease.
The Indians will hammer the Yanks.
And the Angels will take care of Boston.
The Rockies with their super momentum will sweep the Cubs.
And the Indians will bring the rain on the Angels.
Then finally the Indians will come up victorious in a hard fought Fall classic that will require all 7 games over the Rockies.

For those not worn out of the redbirds, the Post-Dispatch mentioned we are going after Springer and expressed interest in Eckstein (link). Oh yeah - TLR is saying nothing - big whoop.
I'm hoping Eckstein talk is simply PR to make it look like we didn't simply trash him. He's a great guy, but we need better defense from that position considering his minor offensive contributions.

Ditto the Tribe; Joe Borowski makes coffee nervous...
The Haloes lack boppers not named "Vladimir"...
The Yankees are counting on a freakin' rookie named "Jabba" outta their pen! (I don't care how he spells it... having a "Hutt" pitching for the "Evil Empire" is too good a line to pass up!)
The Phillies have "Hamels and Moyer and dat's all we got fo'yer..."
Wha' hoppens if somebody steals the Rockies' humidor? YIKES!!!
The D-Backs are awfully young; how will they play now that they're on "the radar"?
And the Cubs are STILL... The Cubs!

Not that I give a rat's ass about...
Worst-case scenario, the Cubs, Sox and Yanks are all bounced before the LCS. The Rox are a great story (as are most of these teams), but a D-Backs/Rockies LCS will get buried , as would LA/Cleveland. I'd like to say I'd watch every pitch of such matchups, but...

my picks
Phillies in 5 (Really tough one to call. Comparable pitching, but Philadelphia has the better ace in Hamels. I'm going with the Phils just because they're a little older and more experienced.)
Indians in 4 (Possibility of Sabbathia and Carmona twice in a 5 game series? Puh-leeze.)
BoSox in 4 (Boston's got the best pitching in the AL, Vlad's banged up, and Anaheim is relying on the sometimes-inconsistent Jered Weaver in game 3.)
LCS:
Phillies in 6 (These two teams matchup pretty well. Both have one proven ace, and their second-best pitcher is a soft-tossing lefty. Again, gotta go with the Phils here because of experience.)
Indians in 7 (I think Sabbathia, Carmona, Beckett, and Schilling all pitch twice, and teams split those games. It's gonna come down to what other pitcher on the team can step up and give a good start. Plus, invariably, the series will come down to a crucial J.D. Drew at bat, and he'll probably go down looking.)
WS:
Phils in 6 (The Chase Utleyness of this Philadelphia team will win out here. Hamels will pitch well and they'll grind out a couple more victories. Plus, the Joe Borowski Effect will finally come into play here and cost Cleveland a game late.)

A roll of the dice...
Rox over Phillies in 5...
People will question whether the Rox have lost momentum.
Cubs over DBacks in 4...
The Cubs roll easily and Lou will keep his cool.
ALDS...
The Sox over the Angels in 3.
The Sox get to Lackey early and set the tone for the series. Vlad slumps and so goes the Angels offense.
The Yankees outslug the Tribe in some close ones and take 3/5 even though Sabathia wins two.
NLCS...
DEja Vu...the Cubs will take the first game, then a 2-1 lead, then 3-2 and lose the series to the Rox. I will probably spare my Cub fan friends any over the top ribbing. Gotta be painful. Lou will be ejected twice and have a major media blow up.
ALCS...
In a prime time media dream the Sox will face the Yankees. The Sox will be heavy favorites. The ALCS will get every night slot causing the NLCS to be almost entirely day games. The Yankees will advance in 6. ARod will rocket his contract value for his renegotiation pending his opt-out clause.
The WS...
Will be billed as youth vs old sluggers, small market vs giant, and everyone but Rob Neyer will pick the Yankees. Unfortunately, they will be right. However, the series will be very close with several late comebacks by the Rockies. The Rox will lose dramatically in the seventh game. This will endear the Rox to thier fan base and America in general...coming so close to slaying Goliath following such a valiant run. It will turn the Colorado franchise around rocketing season ticket sales for the next several years and allowing the Rockies to lock up it's franchise players for the next decade.

PIX
Cubs over Dbax 3-1. Zambrano & Lilly will be tough to beat. Dbax will win Gaem 3 but Cubs close it out in Game 4 at home.
Phils over the Rox 3-2. Hamels wins two games and Phils win another behind veteran Moyer making young Rox chase.
ALDS:
Sox sweep Halos. Angels struggle in Fenway (especially Lackey) and Sox advance.
Indians over Yanks 3-2. The fact that Sabathia is a lefty against that lefty-dominated NYY lineup is the defference maker in this series.
NLCS:
Phils over the Cubs 4-2. Phils consistently outscore a Cubs lineup that can't/won't take a walk.
Yanks over Sox 4-3. Unless the Sox use Jon Lester for 2 games, the Yanks will end up outscoring the Sox.
WORLD SERIES:
Phils over Yanks 4-1. Hamels and Moyer make life difficult for Yanks lineup.

I am amazed
First of all, when you get to the post-season, anything can happen. The best team rarely wins. Predictions based on numbers garner no better results than relying on gut feelings. So I am going with my heart. That said, here goes:
NLDS:
D-backs over Cubs in 4 (Big Z flames out spectacularly)
Phillies over Rockies in 5 (this was tough; momentum vs. momentum and all)
ALDS:
Indians over Yanks in 4 (that's what happens when you count on Clemens at this point in his career)
Angels over BoSox in 5 (Angels seem to find a way to win, but this one will be tough)
NLCS:
Phillies over D-backs in 7 (mo' betta' bats)
ALCS:
Indians over Angels in 7 (no reason, I just think they can)
WS:
Indians over Phillies in 7 (it's their year, I think)
But I picked the Rockies as the team VEB should endorse. Go figure!

My Sure-To-Be-Lousy Predictions
Phillies over Rockies in 4. In a match-up of offense against offense, I take the Phils, despite the fact that the Rockies give up almost half a run less per game. I think the Rockies' late season run will wind up taking more out of them than the Phillies' run did.
Yanks over Indians in 3. Fricken Yankee mojo will put a quick end to the Indians, who can't have much in the way of post-season experience. Plus, don't they have Borowski closing?
BoSox over Angels in 5. Best match-up, but I think the Manny question is trumped by the Vlad question, as Vlad is way more important to the Angels' offense. If Gagne stays on the bench, I give the advantage to the BoSox.
Yankees over BoSox in 7. The shocking thing is that I think Boston might actually have more question marks with pitching than the Yankees.
Phillies over D-Backs in 6. For once, I think offense will trump pitching in a post-season series.
Yankees over Phillies in 5. While I hate the thought of a AL win and I hate the thought of a Yankees win even more, the AL is so much better, it is ridiculous. The Yankees won't pull and Detroit and crap the bed against an inferior NL team.
Anyways, those are my two cents.

This really has nothing to do with anything...
"When is he just going to say, 'I'm the baddest [dude] out there?' " Orioles first baseman Kevin Millar says. " 'I hit .320 with 40 and 130 RBIs, every [stupid] year, and what about it?' What is anyone going to say to that? Nobody can challenge him in this game because nobody else is that good. He spent a lot of time trying to be liked. I just want him to say, 'Don't [mess] with me, because none of you [guys] can do what I do.' That's all he has to do, 'cause he's a straight-up gangster."

by stl tyler on Oct 2, 2007 3:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Rocky Mountain High... almost.
Both teams have good pitching with ERA+ of 114 and 113, tops in the senior cicuit. But the edge has to go to the D-Back with Webb going twice for them in 5 games. The Cubs have an obvious ofensive edge, (OPS+ of 97 compared to 88), unfortunately the series won't go long enough for that to be a factor. D-Backs in 5.
Phillies and Rockies:
Most everyone see a match-up between two great offenses. But I don't see that. Instead I see the Philles with OPS+ of 112 and the Rockies with an OPS+ of 104. On the flip side the Rockies may have the best defense in the NL and an ERA+ of 110 to go with it. Philly has averagish ERA+ of 96. This one is probably the toughest call. I think the Phillies should be phavored, but I'll say Rockies in 4.
Indians and Yankess:
Cleveland won the most games in regular season for a reason, but the Yankees have been the best team in the second half. I'll take the Yankees in 4.
Red Sox and Angels:
Reluctantly I'll go with the Sox in 4.
NLCS:
Rockies in 6.
ALCS:
Yankees in 7.
World Series.
Rockies come back from 0-3 to win the last two at Coors, but fall in game 6. A-Rod hits 6 homeruns, but somehow Jetter is MVP.

All right, here we go.
DBacks over Cubs in 5. This one will be hard fought, but I like Webb twice, plus the whole Dempster vs. Dbacks pen issue. Arizona doesn't have the offense, but they'll just squeak by, I believe.
Yankees over the Indians in 5. I like Cleveland's chances here, with their big two pitchers each pitching twice in the series, but the Yanks superior bullpen, and their offense, will beat out the Indians just enough.
Sawx over the Angels. Boston just has too much pitching. The Angels are good, but not quite good enough. Plus, things just have a way of happening in Fenway.
Rockies over the Dbacks in 6. Webb will have a rough outing, the Rockies will keep their insane momentum going, and Colorado will just bash their way past Arizona. It'll be ugly, but the Rox will get it done.
Yanks over the Red Sox in 7. I have no baseball reason for this call, I just think the universe will move back into alignment for this one. Plus, the Yankees will finally get their postseason revenge on Josh Beckett.
World Series- Yanks over the Rockies in 6. The Rockies will fight valiantly, and several of their young players will get to make their names on the big stage, but, in the end, the superior AL team will just be too much to handle. Look for Petitte and Wang to both have big series, and ARod to make himself even more money with a great postseason. Chamberlain is ready for his close up, and everyone will get a good look at the next Clemens.
MVPs
NLCS- Troy Tulowitzki
ALCS- Jorge Posada (finally)
WS- Joba Chamberlain (a la KRod in 2002)

That last game was a staff start......
I'm not going to dump on Marquis; he always starts slow, finishes weak-but overall he pitched better for the Cubs this year than he did last year for the Cards. If I were Marquis, I'd look into my off season conditioning. It might help him stay stronger the whole year. He's always going to have a blow up from time to time because when he loses the strike zone, he can't seem to figure out how to get it back.
I wish him no ill will, even if he is a Cub now.

I'm in
Phils in 5 vs. Rox (best div series ends with game 5 in bottom half of extras)
Cubs in 4 vs. Snakes (Fan the hype, prep for the fall)
Sox in 4 vs. Los Anaheim of Purgatory Mouseketeers (just because)
Tribe in 4 vs. Derek and the A-Rod'os (the desired outcome must be imagined before it can happen)
So for the championship series:
Phils in 5 vs. Little Bears & Goats (because ignominious defeat comes yet again to the house of bubble gum)
Blood Sox in 7 vs. A-Rod and the Opt Outs (media interests thwarted earlier hopes of another early exit of the Yorkers, because their demise at Fenway will rate better)
Which sets up an improbable finale, and the winner is:
Youz Guys in 6 vs. the South Siders (so all the talk'n heads can be wrong again, and why not)
I didn't give any scores, but I'll bet I'm alone on this set of predictions. Go NL, and if A-Rod gets shut down I'm more than okay with that, and if the north-siders make an early showing to disprove the comedy central wrap it's okay, but enough is enough.

my picks
I look at this basically the same way lboros does, that Webb and the pen can account for a win or two for Arizona, but otherwise this series is all about the Cubs. They've got the deeper rotation, much better offense, and more veteran players. I'll take Cubs in 4.
Rockies v. Phillies
The Phillies have, arguably, the three best offensive players on the NL side of the bracket. They've also got Cole Hamels. I know Colorado's been hot, but I think they'll fizzle out against the Phillies and their triumvirate of Rollins-Utley-Howard. I'll take the Phillies to sweep this series.
Yanks v. Indians
I just have a feeling that the Yankees will return to glory this year. The Indians seem like the team that could dominate with pitching and win it all, but I'll play the fool and pick the Yankees anyway. Yanks in 4.
Angels v. Red Sox
This one is the one I'm most unsure about. The Red Sox seem like the better team in almost every way, but this is the one time I am going to take the rotation over the hitting. Angels in 5.
NLCS: Phillies over Cubs in 6.
ALCS: Yankees over Angels in 7.
World Series: Yankees over Phillies in a very anticlimactic sweep.
