Cabrera's drunk ass is going to lead the tigers to a victory tonight.

As much as I hate both teams, I like the Cards over the Yankees in the world series.

I would have picked the Cards as well but the Yanks will have home field advantage and get to play in the band box...

I have no idea how the Rockies are doing it, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to make another run to the World Series. The Cardinals, Dodgers, and Phillies are kind of limping down the stretch, but then the Cards weren't exactly setting the world on fire in September back in 2006 either.

The Yankees should get there as well, but would it really surprise anyone if they choked again in the playoffs?

Naturally I'd love for the Cardinals to win it all, and I love the top of their rotation and the meat of their order, but their bullpen is a big ole pile of crap. Carpenter & Wainwright better go extra deep in their games.

Not truly the playoffs but the Tigers-Twins is a great game. Tied 4-4 bottom of the 9th.

 

[myrobbins7]

It's a good one.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

This is a great game. I almost forgot I had the flu it's been so entertaining.

 

[volmanbill]

That ball wasn't deep enough to try that tag-up.

 

[volmanbill]

Farve needs to pitch, pinch-hit or something here...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

That ball wasn't deep enough to try that tag-up.

No kidding, the Twins got ahead of themselves there. I can understand being aggressive, but that was borderline stupid.

 

[volmanbill]

Great heads-up play going home there.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Better throw a strike here.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I bet it would be fun to throw 94 with a bit of sink.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

That'll do it. Detroit blew it with the bases loaded and getting nothing.

 

[volmanbill]

Great game. I hope the playoffs are as good.

 

[myrobbins7]

Congrats to the Twins, great game..Now, Just Bring It!!! Go Yanks!

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Congrats Minny...now you get to be swept by the Yanks.

 

[Heebs]

Time to go to work Yanks.

2 run bomb...nice...

2 run bomb...nice...

The tigers lost, but any time someone does something extremely stupid before a big game, I always got my money on them trying to redeem themselves. Cabrera tried.

 

[tidwell]

I feel like the NL is wide open. I could see any of the four teams coming out of there, even the Rockies even though I look at their roster and can't figure how the hell they do it.

In the AL it seems certain that we'll get another Red Sox/Yankees LCS, and it's sort of hard imaging this Yankees lineup losing now, although we've thought the same a few other times this decade.

But, in the spirit of making picks/predictions...

Yankees over Twins in 3.
Red Sox over Angels in 4.
Phillies over Rockies in 5.
Cardinals over Dodgers in 5.

Yankees over Red Sox in 6.
Cardinals over Phillies in 7.

Yankees over Cardinals in 5.
