yay yanks are counter-cursed by bosox fans now lol

let's pick who's gonna win ALCS
i like chisox's chance

Gretzky

Well said windowpane!

The Jays fan cursed the BoSox. The BoSox fans cursed the Yanks. And I bet the Yanks will curse the Angels.

ChiSox are well rested. And they have to guns to out pitch the Angels (Remember, pitching always outweight hitting in post season).

I say ChiSox in 6.

I look at Astros and Cardinal series as the BoSox vs. Yankees last year...this will be the one to watch.

Cardinals in 7.

Let's put our predictions out!

Gretzky

What are your predictions?

herothree

hey all
umm...
go online and try to watch the replay of the angels and sox gm 2...
it was a joke....
gave them a free base
then a rbi double that cause angels the game
dam* it

my prediction was angels win it all (vs. SL)

sigh...

Windowpane

my predictions for fun are chisox in 7 and cards in 6

chisox and the halos are supposed to have a very tight series. But konerko and everett should step up and start jacking homers or collecting hits cuz so far their pitching is fine even they lost the first one but only by 1 run. Of coz same thing can be said about the angels when guerrerro and anderson aren't contributing as much (tho anderson did hit a HR but nothing to show for after that). I still like the chisox's chance nevertheless cuz to me they have slightly better pitching and their 8th and 9th guy can be the factor of this series.

cards in 6 cuz i still believe the edmonds pujols walker sanders combo is deadly, and eckstein often surprises ppl. Someone from the astros need to step up offensively cuz when berkman ensberg and lamb aren't hitting they lose a lot of gunpower. Keep an eye on Burke tho he just hit another HR today he might become another killer B lol.

herothree

u're very nice to give the astro 2 wins
i smile a sweep at the NLCS

ALCS
what the hack was that
what kinda of call was that
did u guys see that the ump already stick his fist out and call the batter out
but...............i am sooooo pissed
i love the angels sooooo much
and F.Rod picked up that loss...he's my fav. closer (all 25 under team)

i'm starting a post abt MLB umping, or umping!!!
see u guys there

pls do keep this post alive tho

Gretzky

'officiating' 呀! Hero :-)

I still think this is the year of the Cardinals...Tony Larussa will win his last crown as the manager.
Cardinals in 6

With that kind of crappy officiating, anything can happen to the the ChiSox/Angels series. I still believe ChiSox will put it off in 7. But whoever wins the series will have no juice left for the Cardinals.

i dunno, like if the league adopts the video replay, then it's kinda saying the umpires aren't professional enough to call plays. I know other major leagues have already established the video replay cuz it really gives fairness to the teams and fans. But then on the other hand it takes away the prestige of the officials/umpires. It sort of means their decisions won't stand at times.

But again, those miscalls just piss ppl off often times. I just read the article on mlb.com on these fatal miscalls that switched the momentum between teams. So overall the video replay can improve the game but i think that stupid selig guy won't do anything like he's been into these kinda situations before back in the 90's and nothing's been done.

edit: just to be on topic, i 'gave' the astros 2 wins cuz after all they have stellar pitching and there should be one or couple games that their hitters are hitting or outhit the cards. Just to be conservative.

Of course! I have been busy coaching lately..

Back to the baseball topic, Bug Selig is a coward and a jerk. He is not going to do much with the video replay. You have to remember the guys owns the Brewers and can only think from the owners' point of view. Baseball is a business...major business.

Baseball is a special sport in the States. It has a certain tradition and royalty attach to it...to put video replay in it is absolute insult to the die hard fans.

I don't think we are going to see video replay in baseball...

and the Angels will rebound...
