paul carruthers Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Well, it's almost that time again--the baseball postseason. You know how this works--all are welcome to join & the scoring will be tweaked this year, so as to muck things up too much. And remember, after the "Wild Card" games, both American and National League Division Series are best of 5. Pick your winners and good luck... The Brackets: National League: Wild Card Game: San Francisco Giants vs. New York Mets (winner plays the Cubs) NL Division Series: LA Dodgers at Washington Nationals American League: Wild Card Game: Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays (winner plays the Texas Rangers) AL Division Series: Boston Red Sox at Texas Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 My not-so-stellar picks... NL Wild Card - Mets NL Division Series: Cubs over Mets in 5 Nats over Dodgers in 5 NLCS: Cubs over Nats in 6 AL Wild Card - Orioles over Jays ALDS: Orioles over Rangers in 5 Sawx over Indians in 4 ALCS: Sawx over O's in 6 World Series: Cubs over Sawx in 7... (I'm sure the brass at MLB is hoping this will be the World Series) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks for the work you do Paul!!! Here goes mine and I have a future ticket I bought in Vegas National WC game NY Mets American WC game Baltimore Orioles NL Division Series Cubs over Mets in 5 NL Division Series Dodgers over Nationals in 4 NLCS Cubs over Dodgers in 7 AL Division Series Boston Red Sox over Cleveland in 4 Al Division Series Baltimore over Texas in 5 ALCS Baltimore over Boston in 7 World Series Baltimore over the Cubs in 7 (oh yeah, going with my heart) If my boys go South I see the Cubs as a team of destiny.

Strider Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Good work, Paul. AMERICAN LEAGUE Wild Card: Toronto...sorry ebk and Rick, but I fear Buck Showalter making a bonehead move to cost the Os the game. ALDS: Boston over Cleveland in 5 ALDS: Texas over Toronto in 4 ALCS: Boston over Texas in 6 NATIONAL LEAGUE Wild Card: San Francisco...sorry Paul, in Bum I trust. NLDS: LA over Washington in 5 NLDS: Chicago over San Francisco in 4 NLCS: Chicago over LA in 6 World Series: Chicago over Boston in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Its Tillman vs Stroman in the Orioles/Jays game. Some are second guessing both managers. Wondering if Tillman's shoulder is OK and Estrada has the best numbers against the O's. Stroman is 9-10. They also said lefties have given us more trouble and thought Liriano was a better choice. So two positives for Baltimore. If Tillman is on, we will win this with our superior bullpen. And Buck will go there early in an elimination game.

kingzoso Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am too tired and buzzed to make a serious post about this contest. This is not to be interpreted as to be a slight to Paul because I really respect what he does and the hard work he puts in to this. I will say that I hope that the Mets or the Rangers win the 2016 World Series. As an alternate, I would not mind to see the Indians win it all (even though I have no clue as to who any of the players on the Indians roster are). For all the other teams in this 2016 Post-Season, I really can not stand any of them. Sorry, but I am just being honest. I hope most of these teams lose and lose bad. Starting with Baltimore and San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebk Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Oops - forgot about this. If I'm too late paul, feel free to totally ignore this. I'll probably wish to ignore it myself... ' AL Wild Card - Os ALDS Indians over Saux in 4 Os over Rangers in 5 ALCS Indians over Os in 5 NL Wild Card - Giants NLDS Dodgers over Nats in 5 Cubs over Giants in 4 NLCS Cubs over Dodgers in 7 World Series Cubs over Indians in 7 (because 7 games is the best) I think I did that right...

Here it goes, if allowed... WC Games - Mets and Orioles Divisional Series - Cubs and Dodgers; AL is confusing based on Paul's post...I thought Boston was playing Cleveland? I'll go with Boston and Texas. Championship Series - Cubs and Red Sox World Champions - Cubs in 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one cent was correct and the orioles lost. My second cent is that the Giants lose and lose bad to the NYY Mets. I suppose this really messes with your MLB Playoff Contest picks. GO RANGERS!!!

I am 45 years old and really one of the coolest and nicest persons that you (or anyone) could ever meet. I am very glad that the Baltimore orioles lost and lost by a home-run in the bottom of the 11th because I am so sick and tired of your espousing that the orioles were going to win the 2016 World Series. Your posts just proved to Me that you are a very delusional orioles fan that keeps hoping that the orioles will win a WS when the last time they did was 33 years ago. I know that you are tired of a MLB history lesson, but the chances of a Saint Louis Cardinals World Series win is a more probable scenario then an orioles win. Obviously not this year but for many more years in the Future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean said you were missing in action? But I see your posts all over the bloody place! So you cant wait for another baseball go? I am going to ream your arses this year!!! I will not be taking the Twins this time. I assure you. I will return to the top The thing is, we must wait to see the big moves and many are a coming. I mean, free agency is just starting. We have no idea what will transpire? We know one thing, the Cubs will be the favorites to repeat. I do not think they need Chapman either. As big a weapon he can be he can also be liability if you know how to get to him. Slap a single int the outfield with your lead off man. Put your fastest man on base to drive him nuts. He is no monster out of the stretch, is bad on defense, if the ball is bunted for instance. He has plenty to learn. He can be exploited as the Indians did to him in one game. I am watching those pesky Atlanta Braves. You are not going to keep Atlanta down for long. They are after Matt Wieters and I am going to see if my owner has a true desire to win. He must sign Wieters. And I hope Trumbo. Now we could do OK without him if we sign anther power outfielder in his place? But who? I am for signing Trumbo. He was a better clutch power hitter than even Cruz. He won a ton of games with timely HRs. We also need a leftie starter. So 3 things to put us right smack in the race. Wieters, Trumbo and a very good leftie starter. This of course with showing Jiminez the fucking door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
