Who's your pick to win it all? I said in spring training that Minnesota would beat the Braves in 6. Now I'm saying the Yankees over San Francisco in 5 games.

Unless the Yankees choke, they should have no problem buying another championship. At this pace, they'll win about 130 games.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the *gasp* Cubs in the Series. I think Dusty Baker and their great young pitching could carry them that far.

Braves vs. A's
A's win it all
MARK IT DOWN

The Giants get revenge for the '89 "Earthquake Series" and defeat the Oakland A's.
- Vandy Dandy - 04-26-2003 01:09 PM
I agree with techfan4. The A's will beat the Braves.

Someone explain this whole "Braves to the World Series" thing. I don't even know if they'll make the playoffs.

Just kiddin', they have been the measuring stick for the NL the last decade or so, and until they are dethroned "for good", they have to be the favorites, in my opinion. Sure, they started out slow, but they have quickly returned to winning. Just my .02

I don't know what four teams will make the playoffs, but here are my thoughts anyway. The Giants should win the West. The Dodgers, Dbacks, and Padres don't have the hitting to compete, and the Rockies don't have the pitching. I think the Cardinals will probably win the Central, but the Cubs are playing really well right now. The Astros should also be there at the end. I think that out of the Cubs/Cards/Astros, two will make the playoffs. With the unbalanced schedule, they'll get to beat up on Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati more than the other divisions.
That leaves one playoff spot for the East. I like what the Phillies did in the offseason and think they'll win the division. The only thing I don't like about the Phillies is having Jose Mesa as closer. That'll probably cost them ten games this season. The East is going to be the toughest division in the NL this year, and it wouldn't surprise me to see any of the five teams win it. So, let's say the Braves do win the East. How are they going to get to the World Series? Could Maddux, Hampton, and Ortiz win a five game series from Prior, Wood, and Clement or Morris, Williams, and Tomko? I don't see that happening.

Ortiz was the best pitcher in the playoffs last year, Hampton led the Mets to the World Series in 2000, and Maduux is Maddux. That seems like enough to me.

Hey, wyd. Still think Philly will win the East? ROTFLMHO! :laugh: :laugh:
Another year, and the Braves are cruising again. This is another perfect example of why you don't listen to the "experts".
- techfan4 - 08-28-2003 04:27 PM
Did I say the A's? I meant the Yankees

If I've calculated correctly, Oritz, Maddux, and Hampton have a better record than Prior, Wood, Clement or Williams, Tomko, or Morris.

I do!

I think the Giants are going to the WS. I know I'm biased, but i think the Giants are the least flawed team in the League. In the AL I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the White Sox are going to make the WS. I can't predict who will win, but it better be the Giants!

- flyingswoosh - 08-29-2003 03:31 PM
no offense, but what is sidney ponson, chop liver? He's won 16 games this season. He's averaged over 7 innings/start for the Giants and has a 3.25 ERA with them. Rueter is an amazing clutch pitcher (except last year against the Braves) and Jerome Williams is good for a 4th starter.
