CanadianChris Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I like the Phillies in 4 (they'll lose Game 2) and the Cubs in 5.
JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I haven't really posted in the baseball threads at all this year, but I have been following Baseball closely this season. For the record, I am a Dodger fan. Phillies over Brewers in Four Dodgers over Cubs in Five
Cheech Tremendous Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 Do we get an AL thread too or are we all victims of TSM's National League bias?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Posted September 30, 2008 Do we get an AL thread too or are we all victims of TSM's National League bias? Yeah, I started this one first because the matchups are set.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 I want the Cubs to win it all but I would like the Dodgers to make it out of the first round. Cubs in four and Phillies in four.
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 We need a Cubs-Brewers NLCS. It has to happen. I think Brewers-Phillies is going to be an amazing series. 6 games or so, I have no idea who'll win. I think the Cubs are a better team than the Dodgers overall, but L.A. is still very capable of winning it outright. I'm thinking that goes 5.

Did I just jinx them?
Smartly Pretty Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Cubs in 3, Phils in 5, then Cubs in 6.
treble Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I think the Phillies will win in 4, but if the Brewers can eke out a win in a non-Sabathia start (assuming he wins game 2, of course) and he starts game 5 then I think I'd have to change that prediction. Are they going to risk throwing Sheets out there for that one game? It'd kind of be a shame if he couldn't pitch after all the time he's put in in Milwaukee. And Cubs in 4.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Posted October 1, 2008 No Sheets in this series.
Bruiser Chong Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I think the Phillies win the series, though I suspect the Brewers won't make it easy. And I'll reserve any comments on the Cubs series.
Guest Smues Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Want: Brewers Neither Expect: Phillies in 5 Cubs in 4
Dobbs 3K Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Sheets is done for the year. He has a torn flexor mass muscle. Sounds like it should heal over the off season. Could be likely the Brewers offer him arbitration and he is with them again next year, since his chances of getting a multi year deal from another team are looking dim. I won't bother with predictions, since I obviously want the Brewers winning.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Damn my early indoctrination... stupid Father and Son game... I'm not a big baseball guy, but my pops was born and raised in Chicago, and he's a lifelong Cubs fan. So, for his sake, I'm rooting for the Cubs.
cabbageboy Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I'll take the Phillies in 5 and Cubs in 3. I figure Sabathia will win his start and somehow, some way the Brewers will take another game in Milwaukee to set up a decisive game 5 in Philly. As far as the Cubs go, if they just deal with Manny the best they can the Dodgers shouldn't be a big problem. At most the Dodgers might get 1 game, but I think the Cubs sweep.
bob_barron Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I'm rooting for the Dodgers- they have Furcal, Jones and Maddux and it'd be nice for them to get rings
naiwf Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I'd like to see Brewers/Dodgers in the NLCS, but considering I never get what I want it'll be Phillies/Cubs in a series where the only way I win is if Wrigley Field implodes on itself and swallows up both teams.

naiwf Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Different sport. It's been 22 years since the Mets won the WS and the last time they got there they were raped by the Yankees. The last three seasons have just been cruel and unusual punishment.
Bruiser Chong Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 No one can complain about their favorite team's championship drought unless this fellow was the president the last time the team won it all:
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 No one can complain about their favorite team's championship drought unless this fellow was the president the last time the team won it all: And hopefully that stays that way.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Maddux doesn't have a ring? That's awful.
Krankor Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Cubs in 4 over the Dodgers Game 1 goes to Chicago. Dempster has been stellar at home. Game 2 goes to the Dodgers. Zambrano has pitched a few good games recently and a few trainwrecks. So I'll go with him falling a part in this one. Game 3 goes to Chicago. Harden is pitching so this will be a close game. Cubs will eek out a win and get Harden another ND. Game 4 goes to Chicago. I'm going to assume Dempster or Lilly will pitch and finish the Dodgers off. Philadelphia in 4 over the Brewers (unless the Brewers figure out a way to get Sabathia to pitch 5 games) Game 1 goes to Philly. No Sabathia pitching. Hamels on the mound. Game 2 goes to Milwaukee. Sabathia will be pitching 9 innings and 180 pitches if needed. Game 3 goes to Philly. No Sabathia. Game 4 goes to Philly. See game 1 results.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Is Gallardo that bad that people think the only way Brewers got a shot is if it's Sabathia or bust?
Krankor Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Gallardo is good but he hasn't really proven that he is right now at this very moment ready to be thrust in to a playoff battle and win. He's pitched 4 innings since he's come back. They were darn good innings but they were against the Pirates. Brewers might have had a shot if Ben Sheets wouldn't have gotten broken in half. Gallardo is going to grow up in the bigs REAL fast now.
Richard Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 No one can complain about their favorite team's championship drought unless this fellow was the president the last time the team won it all: Or this fellow.
