World Series Predictions

This is the one with the little round ball, right? or the big elliptical one?

I dunno. I don't really follow sports.

 

Cards...since the Dodgers are out!

Cards/Yanks, at which time i'll be rooting for the lesser of two evils.

I think that's the Cards.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing the 'stros in there.


But just wait until next year, the Cubbies'll show everybody! Yeah, that's the ticket....

 

I would pick Houston to beat St. Louis, but it's going to be awfully tough with the Astro's pitching rotation as it is. They absolutely need a win in game one (or a couple of days of rain).

 

I'm hoping for the Astros to beat the Cards and meet the Sox in the WS. But that all hinges on the Sox managing to beat those FILTHY Yankees. I think anything could happen in that series!

Cards need Rolen (especially) and Edmonds to hit better than they did against the Dodgers if they are to beat Houston. They can't expect Renteria to keep up the pace he's been on (although he is an excellent clutch player).

 

I have a hunch that Sammy's not gonna be slugging for the Cubs any more. Watch for him in KC or NY.

 

Im predicting Cards in, but the Boston Yanks is waaayyyy to close to call in my book. its gonna come down to game 7 in extra innings. I would go on but i have psats tomorrow and i have to go take a few practice tests.

 

World series: Astros vs. Yankees

The winner: Astros is what I'm hoping, but Yankees should go all the way. If they lose, I can see the owner spending more money to collect more marquee players, which I enjoy just like looking at exotic cars at shows.

 

My dad works in baseball (scout) and he agrees with you. He also was the front office for a couple of teams, so i think ill listen to him about this kind of stuff.

 

No way Kansas City picks up that contract.

 

Last I heard, they needed a gimmick to fill the stands. I believe I also heard that the Rangers are expressing interest in his contract.

 

Jeremy, they unloaded Beltran at mid-season because they couldn't afford him. Beltran is making half what Sosa does, is probably twice the all-around player at this point, and has a much bigger upside. That's why I can't see it happening.

But of course, I never imagined ARod on the NYY, so what do I know?

 

BTW, I absolutely DO agree with you that the Cubs would (and should) want to get rid of him.

 

if the yanks do pick him up he prob would DH, b/c Sheffield i think is better. Giambi would go back to first and they would trade Olerud (one of the nicest guys you will ever meet) and few others for some rookie prospect pitcher which they need.

 

No assurance that Giambi is, or ever will be, fully recovered.

 

true, im taking an educated guess based on years of expeirence with the game and how it works. If this were to happen, they would have 1 slow runner on the team, and 1 semi bad hitter (Miguel Cario) on the team. By the way, im not a yankees fan, i hate them with a passion.

 

Then you're not too happy right now. Yanks 2-0 after one.

 

Not likely....now that he's a born again, paranoid non-steroid abuser!!

DL

 

Quite a remarkable game last night. I expect more of the same for the rest of the NYY-BOS series.

However, word is that Schilling's ankle injury may possibly sideline him. If that's true, I think it shifts the favorite's role from the Sox to the Yanks.
