MLB October Pick'em:

[drt7891]

Let's go. Make your postseason picks, WS teams, winner, and MVP. To add a twist, in how many games will it take said winner to win. I'll kick us off:

AL Wild Card: Indians Vs. Rays: Injuns
NL Wild Card: Rose's Defunct Red Machine vs. the haven't won since I was in kindergarten bucs of Pittsburgh Pirates: Pirates

ALDS: Injuns vs. Sox: Sox in 5
ALDS: Tigers vs. A's: Tigers in 4

NLDS: 17 the Cards vs. Bucs: 17 the Cards in 4
NLDS: Barves vs. Dodgers: Hate to go against Atlanta, but Dodgers in 4 (The Kershaw buzzsaw knocks them off one in Atlanta, then win both in LA)

ALCS: Sox vs. Tigers: Tigers in 6
NLCS: 17 the Cards vs. the fighting Puigs: Dodgers in 7

WS: Tigers vs. Dodgers: Tigers finally get it done

MVP: Miguel Cabrera busts this thing wide the hell open

NLDS: Cardinals over Pirates
The way the Reds finished the season is almost impressive in its gag-factor (two seasons in a row).
Hey, let's celebrate making the playoffs by going on the longest losing streak of the season (including getting whooped by the Mets, and giving up wild card home field to the Pirates).
NLDS: Braves over Dodgers. Puig does something dumb. Cue the people falling all over themselves saying they were questioning his decisions before Labor Day.
NCLS: Braves over Cardinals-two arbiters of baseball etiquette enter, but in the end there can be only one designated "enforcer of the unwritten rules" allowed per league.

ALDS: Indians over Sawx. Francona's buying Popeye's and beer for everybody!
ALDS: Tigers over A's
ALCS: Tigers over Indians (watch the Indians not even make it to the division series now)

World Series: Braves in 7.

This was my preseason pick, so I'll stick with it. I've lost a lot of confidence since minor and Teheran stop pitching as well lately. Hopefully they turn it around starting Friday. Medlen should hold his own Thursday vs kershaw.

I'm sticking with my preseason predictions....whoever started that thread has to bump it.......not it!!!11!

 

[drt7891]

Bump. All you ******** saying a month ago that Atlanta would win the WS

were completely full of it. Atlanta left the bats in the locker room aGAIN (how many times has it been now this decade they can't figure out what a hit is) and our genius manager thought it'd be a good idea to put our RF playing center and leave a great defensive infielder off the roster (miscues from both positions contributed to runs). I'll be shocked if Atlanta wins 1.

Bump for the "I told you so."

Believe that was my post so here it is again

my picks were gawd awful except for my ROY predictions of Wil Myers and Yasiel Puig. Is it possible to photoshop Croom's face in-between the hefty bump gif above? If so please make this happen someone.

 

[msstate7]

No one has ever overcome a 1-0 lead. It's obviously over. Geez drt. I know it was ugly tonight, but it's just one game. Kershaw has made most everyone forget their bats in the locker room. Greinke is good, but he's right handed and not kershaw. The braves are gonna bounce back tomorrow.

 

[msudawg12]

I wrote these predictions before yesterday fwiw. I would probably move the cards as winners now over pitt but leave the rest the same

Red Sox over Rays - 3-1
Tigers over A's - 3-2

Red Sox over Tigers 4-3

Dodgers over Braves 3-2
Pitt over Cards 3-2

Dodgers over Pitt 4-2

Red Sox over dodgers 4-2

 

[drt7891]

Shameless bump. Yet another decade without winning in the month of October. Braves fail to get it done once again.

 

[hatfieldms]

Pirates all the way

At least that is who I am pulling for

And yet you didnt post when the braves tied up the series. You say your a braves fan, but you hold your nuts on em. You'd rather be right about them losing than be wrong about them winning. Yeah it's most likely over, but who knows. I'll watch em till the end and hope they somehow pull it out

 

[drt7891]

Braves are 11-20 since the year 2000 with 1 postseason series win (2001). It really pisses me off that the braves ride young pitching all year and are successful, but cannot figure out how to gel in October. If they can't come back this game, it's over tomorrow night in LA.

I also 17ing hate Ramirez' *** (Gonzalez is not far behind the hate scale). The one guy I didn't want to beat us and we have absolutely played in his wheelhouse all series. We'd be better off walking him every single time he comes up to the plate. Take the freakin bat out of his hands, but it's too late now. This series is over.

Go bucs.

 

[drt7891]

Then my prediction would have absolutely been correct, either way. I predicted they lose the series in 4 games with one win in Atlanta. I am a Braves fan, but I'm ready for us to stop making dumbass trades (Looking at Uggla, Upton Brothers, and getting rid of Prado for them... I'll give them credit for Chris Johnson) and poor management decisions (Heyward playing CF, Johnson at 2nd and Gattis playing Left). Those decisions have all contributed to this October series being the way it is.

And as I type, Elliot Johnson hits into a double play. I hate knowing I've been right since July.

That knucklehead sports guy on WAPT, Ray Coleman, just said the Braves need to win the next one, because they don't want to go down 3-1 in the series!! LMAO

A sports guy on TV that doesn't know that the MLB Divisional Series is a BEST 3 OUT OF 5 !!

You gotta be kiddin' me, Ray!!!

This is the same guy that reported as FACT that Mullen was taking the Penn ST. job 3 yrs ago...he's the worst.
