And they are heading down the stretch…
September 5, 2010
Posted by on This MLB season is in it’s final stage, and they contenders are starting to reveal themselves. Unfortunatly, the Red Sox are a long shot. Looking at it, my beloved Sox would have to win 23-25 of their last 27 games, and have either the Rays or Yankees play sub-.500 baseball the rest of the way. Not likely but not impossible. In Boston, miracles happen. If you dont live in Boston, HA.
These are my postseason picks:
AL:
East-Rays I dont want the Yankees to win, plus I think Tampa is the team to beat.
Central-Twins No, Manny is not the savior. Sorry White Sox
West-Rangers The surprise, but really, they have been building for a while. It has paid off.
Wild Card-Yankees No comment. It hurts enough just writing it.
These 4 teams are my playoff choices, but only one can make it to the World Series.
ALCS: Rays vs. Rangers
Rangers win in 6, Josh Hamilton gets MVP, Cliff Lee has a ERA below 2.00 over the series.
National League:
East-Braves Bobby Cox’s career will end with a playoff apperence. Nice run Bobby. You are one of the best ever.
Central-Cubbies!!!!!…NOT. Keep dreaming in the Windy City. Cincy is going to take this division. The Reds are the real deal.
West-Padres Nobody guessed them having such a great start, but they have sustained it.
Wild Card-Phily will capture the Wild Card. They have to good a staff to not make the playoffs
NLCS
Padres vs. Braves Bobby Cox will end his career with a loss, but will give a fight. Padres win in 7. Cox is ejected in game 7, Adrain Gonzalez will be the MVP. Padres win in extras in game 7, the country sees a great series, baseball at its best.
World Series:
Game 1- Rangers win 3-1 . Cliff Lee is masterful, Rangers up 1-0
Game 2- Padres capture a home win 6-2 to knot the series 1-1 as they head to Arlington.
Game 3-Rangers win on the back of the offense. Vlad goes off and Hamilton and Co. works the Padres pen to squeeze out a victory 7-6 to go up 2-1
Game 4- Another home win for the Rangers, but the Padres aren’t going without a fight. Another close win, 4-3.
Game 5- Still in Arlington, the Rangers win the series in their first World Series appearence. The final score is 6-3. Neftali Feliz closes the game, but the MVP goes to Vladimier Guerreo. The dawn of a new age in Texas, under owner Nolan Ryan.
Well, that is that folks. You heard it here. I guess I just felt like being bold, but hey, someone has to be.
As long as the Yankees don’t win, I am happy.
My closing words:
1. Boston will remain the best current sports town regardless of the outcome of the Red Sox’s season.
2. The definition of cliche is: what I did over the summer essays.
3. Watch the Durantula in the men’s basketball World Championships.
4. Maybe some justice will be served, and Roger Clemens will actually set foot in a jail.
5. While we are talking about athletes in jail, Plaxico Burress (remember him) will serve the entirety of his 2 year sentence. Gasp, a celebrity actually servered their sentence.
Well, I really have to go now.
