Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. That's right. The Cubs won their division and are in the playoffs. One of two things has to happen for such a feet. Either a team has to be really good to make the playoffs, or the rest in the division have to REALLY SUCK... hhhmmm.... I wonder which one it was for them? I'll just let you figure that one out.
So, we have the Cubs (85-77) vs. the D-Backs (90-72).
Either the Rockies or the Padres (both went 89-73) vs. the Phillies (89-73).
The Angels (94-68) against the Red Sox (96-66).
The Yankees (94-68) vs. the Indians (96-66).
I just want to point a few things... first off, the D-Backs are the only team in the NL to have 90 wins in 162 games. Either the Rockies or the Padres will knock down 90 today. Only four did it in the AL and all went to the post-season. I want the Tribe to rip apart the Yankees. They really need to... and should. As far as the San Diego and Colorado game today, I hope for Colorado to take that one. I guess it is because they are closer? I don't know. I don't have time to dissect the game to make a guess. D-Backs will tear apart the Cubs. Who-ever wins today will be tired and the Phillies will take an early lead in the series. It will cripple the winner and the Phillies go to the NL Championship.
It's really tough to say who is the better of the AL teams. I pick the Tribe over the Yankees... just because. If you've read any of my posts, you should know my stance on the NY team. Anyone who plays them is GOLDEN in my book. Not to mention that the Yankees kept getting embarrassed by Tampa Bay this year, that should be enough to say they have GREAT choking ability.
And the Angels and BoSox... that should be the best series to watch of these four games, I think. That one could really go either way. I will say this, the Angels have more youth, if I am not mistaken. The BoSox have experience, recently winning the World Series a couple of years ago. It should be a fun series to watch. I will take a gander and say that the BoSox will win that series and move to the AL Championship.
BoSox and the Indians - I would take the Tribe as a surprise and upset the favored BoSox.
D-Backs and the Phillies - It would be hard not to take the Phillies, since they are a Cinderella team. People just love to pick the Cinderella team, but I honestly would not take them in this series. I would pick the D-Backs. Why? I'll tell you later.
In the world series, we have the Indians and the D-Backs, with the house favorite being the Tribe (since the AL won the All-Star game, right?). This series would not seven games, not six, but I will call it in five favoring the...
Tribe. Yep. The D-Backs make an amazing run, but peter out in the Series.
