2015 Baseball Playoffs Pick Thread

Obviously, I am going with the Yankees tonight over a very good, young and fast team. Their bullpen is suspect.

However, they are too young to be scared. Just like a Marlins team that beat us several years ago in the World Series.

---------------------------------------

Tomorrow night pits the Cubs against the Pirates in the National League wildcard game.

Final pick on this game is tomorrow night at game time.

Nice site Adam. Thanks for sharing. Think I'm going to like Saber Slim.

Tonight's game:

Houston buried my Angels so now I want them buried.

I'll be pulling for the Yanks...first time in a very long time.

Would love to see Yanks vs. Mets in the series.

Thanks, Joe:

To a New Yorker like myself, it is like having the best scotch, the best blunt and the best woman and an infinite amount of time and automatic resupply, in other words Nirvana.

Yes that tool looks real nice as well as the Spray Chart one.

By the way, lol, I chart key games like this pitch by pitch...yes, I do love competition.

A...

Glad we did not have to face your Angels. they kill us in the playoffs. I may regret that after tonight lol.

Yes sir. When I was a New Yorker (up until the late 70's) it was as you say, "like having the best scotch, the best blunt and the best woman and an infinite amount of time and automatic resupply, in other words Nirvana"

A great time of the year for us bb fans.

Enjoy.

That was embarrassing.

Last time I checked, ya can't bitch at your pitching unless you scored at least one (1) run.

Let's go Mets.

There will be changes made on the Yankees.

My condolences Adam.

Just 3 hits. That rarely gets it done.

Rodriguez, became the designated out, went 0-4. Guess the PEDS aren't working.

I expect to see a lot of changes in the roster next season.

For now, I like Toronto and St. Louis for the finale.

One step at a time...

Next up for prediction is tomorrow nights game in Pittsburgh...I love their center fielder McCutchen...

I also love Maddon, their new manager who had managed the Rays for years.

Picks have to be in by game time...

Well congratulations to Marc on his Toronto Foreigner Blue Jays for finding a team that could choke that badly lol.

Great team the Blue Jays.

I like them over KC only because I want the Mets to face them in the World Series...

By the way congratulations to me and my NY Mets [remember Yankee Fanatic and Met fan]. NY Uber Ales!

A...

Goes against the Back To The Future II prediction that the Cubs would win the 2015 World Series.

I will stick with the curse of the Goat from 1945 and leave it on the Cubs...

Congrats Adam and to your Mets.

Dem Bums showed us why they are Dem Bums...and on their home field.

A pathetic 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position and the Murphy steal of the uncovered 3rd. base.

Yep...thanks.

I have never, in real time ever saw that one either.

Cashman made a very interesting statement while he was being drowned in the locker room...we scored 2 runs and none of them were in scoring position and the middle run without a hit!

1st inning Granderson was on 1st when Murphy doubled in the left center gap and then the flub error allowed him to score.

The taking third on the walk to Duda...and the sac fly to right.

And the Murphy home run...

Good luck tonight Marc and the other Canadian Jays...

Also, you have one of the top three anthems in my world...

Down to the final two (2) teams...the New York Metropolitans and the Kansas City Royals...the heartland versus the hardhearted...there is something magical going on around and within the Mets...

I, of course, am going with my Mets...in 5/6...

I won't be placing any wagers on who wins the individual games or the series.

I'd rather go the under/over route, that is, will the total runs scored by both teams be 7 or less or 8 or more each game (an even money payout).

I'm leaning the first game will yield 7 or less runs... good pitching will prevail.

Longest World Series game on record and a really good game...

Calling that lead off at bat an inside the park home run means the official scorer needs a new seeing eye dog.

At best a double and two base error...

That scorer obviously needs to get his cataracts removed.

Wow. Batting practice for KC + some awesome pitching.

The Mets looked like sh.t

Yep.

Pretty tough to win when you score 1 run.

KC is zoned in.

The public roasting of Harvey is in full swing here...I have to see if Mike Francessa's radio show has clips.

He is a genius and brutal commentator on sports.

Well, the fat lady is getting ready to sing...unless the Mets can become the "Miracle Mets" once again.

Got to hand it to KC. They were behind but scored late in the game.

Yep.

Up until last night, I thought Collins was managing this series really well.

That was until he brought in Familia with a 6 run lead in the ninth - excuse me? Are you fucking crazy?

Well, apparently I was right.

Additionally, tonight, he had an experienced pro in Colon, who you ride as long as you can. He is a leader, an excellent fielder and was their best pitcher up until the kids started to bloom.

KC took every opening and rammed it down their throats late.

Their closer closed them out.
