Interesting. Hamels is pitching both games 3 and 4 (if necessary)?

Goat3001

Predictions:

Yankees in 4 -- Miggy is a Yankee killer but if the Yankees can dance around him this series they should be able to shut their offense down.

Rangers in 5 -- I think the Rangers are a much better team but the Rays have the mojo going right now. I just don't think it'll be enough.

Phillies in 5 -- Same reason as above. The Cards are hot and I can see them getting to the Phillies but in the end the Phils are just too good.

Brewers in 4 -- Brew Crew is just too good at home. I think they take the first two games at home pushing the Diamondbacks up against the wall. Then again the Diamondbacks could be last years Giants.

aktick

I think outside of the Yankees and Phillies being the obvious favorites, anything can happen (as has been proven in recent years). Honestly I'll just be happy if the Brew Crew can make it to the NLCS (and the Yankees lose, of course ).

Kennedy pitched 7 scoreless innings in his only outing against Milwaukee. Gallardo gave up a total of 4 runs (2 earned) in 13 innings against Arizona.

CRM114

I'm not about to make any predictions. I will say that I'm hoping for the Phillies-Yankees world series. Good luck everyone.

starman9000

Hamels must have a rubber arm.

Deftones

I'm not so sure Hudson is going to be the Dbacks #2 pitcher. While it's certainly likely, he's pitched horribly the past month and Saunders is pitching better and has playoff experience.

adrenaline78

Good Luck Deftones! Should be fun!


Go Crew!

bralph

And we're off! Go Tigers!

mgbfan

My predictions

Texas over Tampa in 4
Yankees over Tigers in 5
Texas over Yankees in 6

Phillies over Cards in 3
Brewers over Dbacks in 4
Phillies over Brewers in 5

Phillies over Rangers in 5

aktick

Well that would be a pretty boring playoffs.

KingSmoth

I'm still mulling over my picks, because I don't think a single team in the field is absolutely dominant. I think the Phillies have the best chance to win it, but it's far from a lock in my mind. The team ran an 8-game skid and I'm not convinced that they're out of it yet, considering they ran into and over the not-so-challenging Braves at their absolute worst.

shizawn

Hoping for a Brewers/Tigers world series!

Do I love Roy Halladay?



Yes. Yes I do love him.

wildcatlh

The above pitching matchups are off, btw. It looks like the Cardinals are sending out Carpenter on short rest on Sunday, and then Garcia in Game 3 on Tuesday.

Carpenter has never before pitched on short rest in his career.

(and why the hell did LaRussa have him go 9 innings in a blowout on Wednesday? Or is the answer to that "because LaRussa"?)

starman9000

Changed the matchups, hopefully ESPN fixes theirs.

CRM114

Cool. I get to attend a game of Lee vs Carpenter. Interesting move. I wonder if Carpenter will bat 8th too.

Cardsfan111

Heard the news about Carpenter going in Game 2. He must have been concerned with who was pitching in the most hostile environment known to man. Seriously, I hope it works out, but I have doubts. What this does--and LaRussa would never say this and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere--is set things up for Carpenter to be available for a Game 5 should the Cards (or the Phillies ) extend the series that far.

aktick

Well that was a sad pre-game.

wirefan

Tony Reagins (Angels GM) has apparently resigned. This seems like a very good thing for Angels fans.

aktick

Damon! 2 run shot.

starman9000

Was it about the fan that died?

aktick

Yeah, his 6 year old kid threw out the first pitch to Hamilton (with the kid's MILF standing by ).

starman9000

Yeah, just watched it.

Cardsfan111

I'm not watching the game right now, so perhaps they mentioned it--Heard they'll also be putting a bronze statue of the father/son up sometime next year.
