MLB Playoffs 2008

Yeah, so it's time for the 2008 October Showdown. Should see some pretty good ball this year, with the Cubs trying to break that 100 year curse, the Phillies trying to win a playoff game for the first time in 15 years, the White Sox barely making in in through a 1-0 playoff game win over the Twins, the Rays in their first ever playoff game, the Brewers making it in with a young squad, fresh manager, and over the collapsing Mets, as well as the Dodgers with their newly traded for gem Manny Ramirez, plus Manny's old team, the wildcard Red Sox. And then don't forget the top dogs, the LA Angels, who won 100 games this year, saw K-Rod set the single season saves record, and went out and traded for Mark Texiera. Anyways, looks to be a good playoff this year, and I'll put down my guesses not only for this LDS, but also the LCS and World Series. Here we gooo....

White Sox over Rays in 4

I just think experience will take over. It's Tampa's first ever playoffs, so you can't blame them..

Angels over Red Sox in 5

The Red Sox will take them down to the wire, but the loss of Manny will hurt too much and end up costing them against the best team on paper.

Phillies over Brewers in 3

Sweep here. The Brewers made it in, which deems their season a success, but there's really no question here on who the dominant team is.

Cubs over Dodgers in 3

Another sweep, due to the Cub's first three starters of Dempster, Zambrano, and Harden. Way too good for the LA Blue. Though if the bad Z shows up and Manny comes alive, look for the curse to possibly stay alive...

LCS:

White Sox over Angels

I don't know why. Just kinda of a gut feeling that Ozzie will be on top of things, and that their experience will pervail.

Philles over Cubs

Uhhoh. The Curse continues. Haha, in my opnion, they just jad three MVPs in three years. With a pretty good rotation and revived closer, they'll get the job done, which a little help from The Curse.

World Series:

Phillies over White Sox

Yeah, I'm taking the Phils this year. It isn't really a common sense guess, or anything like that. Just kind of a gut feeling, and really do think that they're the best team in the majors. And I'm alot more certain that the Phils will make than the White Sox making it. To tell you the truth, I have no idea about the AL. That league is pretty much wide open, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Angels or Red Sox here instead of the White Sox.
