CORRECT Playoff Preview, part deux

Yeah, I know nothing.

Wow, I can't believe I missed the boat on every prediction. Just goes to show you that anything can happen in sports. After watching SC and UCLA lose this weekend, that has never been more apparent.

NLCS: Ok, ok, so what if AZ as a team gave up more runs than they scored this season and yet still were tied with COL for the most wins in the NL. Go figure. This is a tough series to gauge but considering my record so far, I can only go up. The two teams played 18 times this year with COL winning 10 of the 18. Considering COL has won 17 of 18 and seems to be a team of destiny, it'll be hard to pick against them. BUT, I just don't like their pitching and pitching and defense wins Championships. With Tulo, Atkins, Holliday, Matsui, and Taveras they have great defense though. AZ has CY Young Webb and whole lot of nothing. But it was enough to stop the Cubs' bats. This should be a tough, close series but I'm going to ride the streak and take Colorado in 6. The Rockies in the World Series! OMG! Makes me sad to be a Dodger fan (even though this shows how strong the west was).

ALCS: Indians vs. Red Sox. The Sox looked back to normal against the Angels but of course, they own Anaheim. Even JD Drew was getting hits?!?!?!?! Boston has Beckett, DiceK and Schill but Cleveland has Carmona and CC, 2 of the AL's most dominant pitchers this year. I'm a HUGE Grady Sizemore and Pronk fan and would LOVE to see Cleveland snap their streak and BAN LeBron from ever attending games at the Jake or from wearing Indian gear since he's a sellout. PLUS, Boston fan is getting way too full of themselves with the Patriots and Garnett on the Celts now. This is just wrong, for the sports world to be in balance, New England must be miserable and angry. Here's hoping a new Bill Buckner emerges! Cleveland wins in 7 games! Now Bill Simmons can write another book about a new curse!

What does all this mean? Go bet on AZ to face Boston in the World Series!
