I'll have to cheer for the Padres since they're my closest team.

 

They should save Peavy for the non-Carpenter games. Try winning those 3.

This is pretty much going to be like last year, where the thread barely hit five pages... although we have a Cards fan here now, maybe he can fill it up

There's the Pujols avatar guy. And some guy named cardsfan77 or something.

 

And Porter likes the Padres, kinda.

 

Allez.

The Padres are going to win this series easily. I mean, Jeff fucking Weaver starting Game 3?

 

They have a good sized fanbase, but there aren't many posters on here from that area.

This Cards team definitely doesn't look like the same one that tore through the NL West winners in the previous two years.

Let's go Padres. I want to see a Mets/Padres NLCS. Yeah, I still have a soft spot for Piazza...

 

Ditto. Also, Mike Cameron's pretty cool.

There was that guy here last year, Hektik, I think, who was/is a Padres fan. Haven't seen him around much, though. Someone else was cheering for them, too.

Padres in 4. Pujols hits 3 HR, the rest of the team does nothing. Looper blows at least one game.

I'm not exactly feeling as confident about this series as last year. For one thing, I'm pretty sure Jake Peavy doesn't have a broken rib or whatever he had last year, so I doubt the Cards will be able to light him up like last year. For another thing, Jeff Weaver is apparently going to pitch in this series. Now he's actually hasn't been THAT bad lately, but still. Jeff Weaver.

Why is everyone so down on the Padres? This will be their second post season appearance in two years. They must be doing something right (other than being in a relatively weak division).

Hey jwest, are you ready to carry this thread?

Actually, I'm not even going to be able to watch most of the first two games. So yeah, this is probably not going to be a bustling thread. Well, unless Jeff Weaver throws a perfect game or something. That might create some discussion.

I'm going to use this thread to make my eerily accurate yearly baseball playoffs predictions. I have watched less than ten games the entire season, like usual, and the Cubs lost every single time, like usual. Now behold, these will be 75% correct or better:

 

Yankees vs Tigers: THE YANKEES

A's vs Twins: TWINS

 

From the AL...the TWINS.

 

Cards vs. Fathers: THE PADRES

Mets vs. Dodgers: THE METS

 

From the NL: THE METS

 

And the Mets will win the world series.

 

Sidenote: I have not watched the Cubs win a baseball game either live or on TV since I went to a game around 8 or 9 years ago and saw them beat the Brewers at Wrigley.

I'll be the Third Amigo for the Cardinals fans. I think St. Louis wins this series in four or five. Yeah the month of September was embarassing, and their offense has a penchant for letting Pujols do all the work and everybody else taking October off, but I think this team will compete every game, and I think Carpenter has a slight edge over Peavy.
