When expectations are low it's much easier to exceed them.

NY Mets - 84-78, 3rd place behind Philadelphia and Atlanta. But they could get lucky....and pigs could fly...

:cool:


Seems both Josh and RichKat figured the Mets wouldn't fare so well.


So, what playoff predictions do you foresee?

    Only Phillies and Rays fans bothered to post up to now. And the Rays look to be in trouble, having lost the first two:

    http://www.comcast.net/sports/mlb/games/2010/10/07/MLB301007130/boxscore/

    And even if the Rays manage to win a couple, they will have to face Cliff Lee again - he proved to be a playoff shutdown pitcher in 2009.

    Phillies magic number is now 10 :cool:

    Yankees are taking home #28!! Halladay looked good but he won't be pulling that off against the Yankee lineup.

    This is the first year in many I can remember where I was watching NFL football each weekend rather than baseball. Usually, I cant get into NFL until end of October because my Halos are in there. No such luck this year.

    I am pulling for the Rangers simply because they are in my division and also pulling for anyone playing the Yankees. Not looking good so far TC, can you guys even win a playoff game?

    My predictions for the rest of the season:
    Yankees
    Rangers
    Phillies
    Giants - all advance to ALCS and NLCS
    Rangers and Phillies advance to World Series
    Phillies win.
    Hope I am wrong as I will be pulling for Rangers, in expectation they beat the damn Yankees.

    As my previous post predicted, Cliff Lee does the job and shuts down the Rays. And now there are four teams left standing.

    Phillies host Giants.

    Rangers host Yankees.

    This may be the year for the Rangers. The Yankess will be a tough test though!

    Cliff Lee is a beast!

    The challenge for the Rangers will be to find two other pitchers to pick up wins against the Yankees, assuming Cliff Lee starts twice and gets 2 W's.

    I can't believe they actually won a series. Nolan Ryan will have them whipped into shape soon. The Round Rock Express will be their feeder team now so I guess I will have to be a Rangers fan along w/the Astros.

    I am 4-4 on team predictions advancing so far, and now there are 4 left.

    Go Rangers! (I hate the Yankees and TX is in my division)
    Go Phillies! (I dislike the Giants)

    Will I hate the Yaankees because I am an O's fan. Cliff Lee is to good and I believe they would pitch him Game 3,5,and 7 like the yankees did with C.C. last year,

    I think Phillies play Texas in the world series.
    Phillies win

    The "Express" is a top notch class act and he deserves a lot of credit for his fine work there in TX.
