Yesterday marked the end of the 2003 regular season.Yesterday saw some teams win big and some lose big.The Oakland Athletic got swept in a 3 game series by my Seattle Mariners .The Detroit Tigers beat the Al Central Champions 3 out of 4 to avoid becoming the worst team in baseball history.Tuesday is the begging of the Baseball Playoffs and here is what I think will happen.

 

 

Click for Spoiler:

First in the American League Division Series.

 

Boston Red Sox vs Oakland Athletics-This is gonna be a hell of a good series.Boston has the best offensive team in the American League and have Pedro Martienez and Derek Lowe to back them up.Oakland's offense has been bad all year and they havent really got going.But they have the big three Zito,Mulder,and Hudson to keep the opposition to a few runs.But wait Mulder is injured and gone!!When that happened i thought the A's were done but Ted Lilly has really stepped up and filled the roll.

 

This is gonna be close but I am picking Boston in 5 games

 

New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins-The yanks arer well the yanks.Their offense as always is very good and the have Pettite,Mussina,and future hall of famer Clemens to shut down the opposition.Minnesota has some pitching and some hitting.But i think the yanks out class them in about every way.

 

Yankees over Minnesota in 3 games

 

Now the National League Division Series.

 

Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves-The Cubs have good offense with Sammy Sosa leading the charge.They also have very good piching in Kerry Wood and others.Atlanta has the best offense in Baseball by far while there pithcing isnt as good as it used to be the offense by far makes up for it.I would love to see the Cubs win their first playoff series in almost a century but i think that Atlanta's offense is gonna overwelm them.

 

Sorry Cubs but Braves in 4 games

 

San Fransisco Giants vs Florida Marlins-The Marlins are the surpirse story of the year.They have better pitching that most think with rookie phenom Dontrell Willis at the helm.I thought when the Marlins won the World Series in 97 that is was a fluke but now i am not too sure.The Giants have good offense lead by the powerful Barry Bonds.Thier pitching though isnt what is was last yeat even with the addition of Sidney Ponson.This one is too close to call.

 

I'm rooting for the Marlins so Marlins over Giants in 5 games

 

American League Championship

 

If im right about the ALDS in will be Boston vs New York-What a matchup this would be if it happened.I am sure that the rest of baseball would love the see this as well.Two rivals going head to head.This IMO will be the closeest matched ALCS in a long time.I think its time for the curse of the babe to end and what a way to end it by beating the yankees.

 

Boston will make it to the World Series for the first time since 1918 by beating the yanks in 7 games

 

National League Championship

 

Braves vs Marlins-Normally i would pick braves but they have made to the playoffs 12 years in a row now and only made it to the world series twice.So i think they will cave again.

 

Marlins over Braves in 6 games

 

 

As far as the World Series goes well i will give you my predictions when we get to the fall classic

 

I put the spoiler in so computer will run faster for those with dail up like me :unsure:

In reply to your AL prediction:

 

Click for Spoiler:

Boston has been in many World Series since 1918 - they just haven't won any. They'll always be my boys, but the curse of the Bambino is strong! If they win, every fan in New England will have a heart attack!

Could this really be the year for my Red Sox?..The fans up here in New England would go crazy if they win it all..!..I'm hoping for a RED SOX/Cubs World Series..Wouldn't that be great..But 1 series at a time..On to Oakland...

I would also like to see the Red Sox and Cubs in the series.As a Dodger and an NL man,I'd have to pull for Sosa and the Cubbies in that October Classic.But I wouldn't mind at all if Boston won.I've felt sorry for them ever since their October Classic matchup with the Mets.

Since my team is not in the running,I'll pick the other California teams.Oakland and San Francisco.I'd like to see a Bay Bridge Series.

[Jack_Bauer 1]

NLCS: Cubs vs. Marlins

Ok, I'm exaggerating but I don't want Boston or San Francisco to win. But hey, it could happen.

I am an Astros fan.But since,they ain't involved in the playoffs (I hate that!I want MLB to just go back to the best 2 clubs meeting in the NLCS)...

Don't worry about it.The Cubs will go.I doubt Florida can take 3 straight.

But,then again,if a team was going to lose after being up 3-games-to-1,it would be the Cubs....
