Predict the Postseason

[Willets Point]

Simple contest. Predict what teams will play in the postseason and how far they will go. This is a who you think you'll win not who you want to win contest, so pick carefully. I'll close this thread and put it in the Predictions forum on August 29th (2 months before the scheduled 7th game of the World Series). I'll tally up the points and announce the winner after the conclusion of the World Series.

Looks like I'm the only dissenter to a Mets WS appearance. Have I become the new Bret?

Some of their moves and Glavine's health make me rethink things though, so I guess not. I'll stick with my picks anyway.

I'm guessing people are picking with their hearts. Maybe if there were money riding on this things would be different.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I can see the Mets winning the pennant; they're the strongest team in a weak league.

Beating the AL team is another matter, though. Especially since I have the Twins as my AL champs and four games would be played at the Metrodome.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Wow, is Willets a pessimist or what? Mets eliminated in the first round? Yankees win it all? That's the worst possible outcome!

[Willets Point]

Four days left to add or edit your predictions. I may edit mine since my pessimisim is wearing off.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Please do. You're killing my buzz.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

NL East: Mets

AL East: Yankees

AL West: A's
AL Wildcard: Twins

Mets over Dodgers, Cardinals over Padres
Tigers over Twins, Yankees over A's

Mets over Cardinals, Tigers over Yankees

Mets over Tigers

All the Dodgers hype got on my nerves.

My preseason pick was the A's to win the AL, but I just don't see them coming out of it right now.

Olerud has us all owned for now but things could change in the 2d round of play as some of us have teams winning the division who went in as Wild Card and vice versa. Everyone got points for the NL East and no one got points for the NL Wild Card, AL Central or the AL Wild Card.

[Elster88]

Darn, I missed this game.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I just noticed that I picked the Reds to win the Wildcard, but for the Mets to beat the Dodgers in the NLDS.

WTF is up with that?

[Guest sharpie]

I was outta town when all of this happened. For the record, I would have picked Mets-Cards-Padres (Dodgers as wild card) and Yankees-Twins-A's (Tigers as WC). How'd I do?
