Playoffs predictions?

[Carnzo]

Let it be known by all


I have no clue but a Cubs Red Sox series would be great.

I wouldn't mind that too much. Those are the two teams I'm rooting for.

 

[The Q]

Indians-Cubs would be awesome. Sox-Cubs would still be fun, but not nearly as much as it would have been in 2003/04. There'd still be a lot of star power and you have the prospect of Theotrying to snap the longest WS drought against a franchise whose drought he helped erase.

It would be nice to see Beltre and Kershaw get rings.

The Cubs can't suffer enough for their classless, integrity-less acts during the Theo compensation negotiations.

Rangers over Cubbies in 7.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

The chubbies are going to sweep their way to a World Series win.

You are, if you BELIEVE you are

 

[Clayton]

The Cubs/Red Sox series being interesting because its the Cubs/Red Sox ship said a loong time ago.

I think Cubs/Rangers or Cubs/Indians would be more interesting in a historic kind of sense.

Jays over O's

Rangers over Indians in 4
Red Sox over Jays in 5

Red Sox over Rangers in 6

Giants over Mets

Eh, I don't see it.

I bet most Cubs fans think they'll be relevant for awhile

They might have thought that back in 2003, too.

If ever there was a team for whom there is no "next year," it's the Cubs.

The more I think about it, I'm actually hoping they pound the ever-loving stuffing out of everyone on the way to a WS sweep.

I hope a ball girl picks up a fair ball, causing a ground rule double instead of the guy from first scoring, and the AL closer (hopefully Kimbrel or Cody Allen) slams the door with those 2 still on to end the game.

I'm pretty indifferent on this Cubs team winning it all after the Royals uprising happened. Lots of regional benefits to having everyone following baseball religiously from Chicago to KC. Since STL is officially an MLB town it makes sense to want MLB as big as possible in the area.

The team I actually don't want winning it all is the Dodgers who rolled over for the Giants. Also pretty salty about LA having the Rams. I figure picking them puts some sort of voodoo curse on them but they have as good as shot as anybody.

I hear ya. If I were to list the teams I want to lose in these playoffs, in order, the Dodgers would be a close second behind those Giants.

Wow, a Cardinal fan picking the Dodgers.

Edit: Knew it. Apparently that post was Clayton's attempt at a voodoo curse.

I think the Dodgers are the team thats 'due' and not the Cubs or anyone else but maybe thats just because I'm looking at roster construction and recent history. They check all of the boxes for a championship looking team except I think they struggle against lefties IIRC.

That said, I'll be rooting against you guys and likely the Red Sox and Giants. I doubt you're going to be losing any sleep but it would be really funny if the Giants knocked you guys out of the playoffs.

Quite being selfish, the Cavs won, no more for Cleveland sports for 50+ years!
