My picks from the other thread.

 

Houstin over Atlanta in 3

St. Louis over San Diego in 4

Boston over Chicago in 4

New York over Anahiem in 4

 

Everything old is new again.

 

 

I obviously want Atlanta to win it all, but I'd be fine with St. Louis or San Diego as well. Boston would be ok too only because it would drive Yankee fans insane.

Those are exactly the matchups I'm rooting for. Which of course means the CS round won't look anything like that.

I'd love to see the Angels get past the Yankees, just so I don't have to see them in the ALCS again. And a loss in the divisional series could finally show Steinbrenner that it is time for a change.

I wish MLB would release the times already, so I know which Braves games I have to miss.

 

Amen

 

If the Angels make it to the world series again will the 9th inning of the last game be all commercials again? Or will that honor be saved for the White Sox?

Note to Bob: When we beat the Astros in 3 in 2001 not a single person on this board picked Atlanta to win. This year it seems like a lot of people are. We're doomed.

That series was awesome. I remember everyone at ESPN, the papers and all my friends didn't give the Braves a game in that series. And then they made Houston their personal bitch. I didn't even care that the D-Backs destroyed them.

 

As I've said, I want the Braves to win but Pettite/Clemens/Oswalt sounds unbeatable in a short series. Especially Pettite. Except for that one World Series game where he tipped his pitches, the guy is very reliable.

 

If Fox got Angels-Chi Sox, I think they would pre-empt it with episodes of House and The OC.

FOX has ruined post season baseball for me forever. I can't watch playoff baseball anymore without thinking "HIS FATHER IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY!

Can these women survive in a cold heartless man's world?

 

Unfortunately House broke the "failed shows promo'd during the WS" trend

Oh god Girl's Club. It seems to me there was one more hugely hyped during the post season show that tanked besides those two but it's not coming into my head. And don't worry about House, I'm sure whatever they hype this year will be terrible.

I don't remember Fox promoting any new shows during the Subway or NY-Arizona series

 

Girls Club was the first one I remember Fox going overboard for (only to pull the plug by Thanksgiving)

What lasted longer? Skin or Girl's Club? I think Skin was yanked after two or three episodes but I don't remember how long Girl's Club lasted. Oh and what I was probably thinking of was The Bortherhood of Pollid New Hampshire. Not a FOX show, but like Girl's Club it was another David E. Kelly show that bombed big time so my brain got confused.

If they merged the two shows into Girls' Skin Club, they would've had a hit on their hands
