So, I nailed 50% on my last prediction. That still counts, right? No? Fine.
I freely admit that I have consistently, without any real basis, underestimated the Phillies. I really thought the Dodgers would win that series (and I don’t think being a fan influenced me that much). It was truly an instance of underestimating. The [...]
My first set of predictions weren’t too far off. The Red Sox’s loss to the Angels was my only miss. I thought the Red Sox would snap out of their season-end decline once they hit postseason, but the Angels seriously manhandled them on their way to the 3-0 sweep. Boston’s pitchers were [...]

Yeah, my first predictions were so awesome … Whatever. Here’s my picks for the final stretch.
Wow. Someone needed to tell the Yankees that this was it. They looked like crap.
Hey, how ’bout those Yankees? They actually looked like a baseball team last night. Well, most of them did. Jeter and Posada need to kick it into gear.
Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies I wrote: Colorado is a good team. But they’re not good enough to take the Phillies. The Rockies swept ‘em 3-0. It was like the Phillies weren’t even there.
Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox I wrote: I expect Boston to take this series. And they did.
Chicago Cubs [...]
October is finally here and the MLB is down to eight teams. Here are the line-ups and my mostly worthless predictions.
It was an awesome game and who knows how many more innings the game would have lasted had the umpire not gotten bored and decided to call Holliday safe.
