    Playoff Predictions

    All right I just love hearing everyone's opinion of who is going to win when it comes to playoffs, and how they see things falling. I want to hear what everyone else says and here is mine.

    Rays are going to top who ever wins the central. I say in either a sweep or three games to one.

    Red Sox-Angels

    Sox win Game 1 (Lester has impressive Game 1)

    Angels win Game 2

    Angels win Game 3 (Unless Beckett's injury, doesn't bother him for the simple fact he's somethign else in the playoffs)

    Sox win Game 4 (Lester goes 2-0, 3-0 lifetime in postseason; Make us forget all about Beckett's injury)

    Sox win Game 5 ( Dice-K is going to come through big time)

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    Here is mine

    Game 1- sox win by a small margin because Lester pitches great.

    Game 2- sox win because of the offense because we jump all over their pitcher and Dice-K pitches great.

    Game 3- Angels win Beckett is not himself and is just not good.

    Game 4- Sox win Byrd or Wake pitch great and we win.

    ALCS here we come. BTW Monday- Lester, Tues Dice-k, Wendsday- Beckett ( I dont think hes hurt).

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    I say the Rays will sweep the Twins or White Sox(whoever wins that division).

    For the Sox-Angels series:

    Game 1-Angels take this...maybe6to5.

    Game 2-We come back with a W, but it will be a close one(maybe a ninth-inning at bat by Papi will decide it...)

    Game3-We win again in Boston.Beckett will do alright...maybe giving up 3 runs.

    Game4-Dice-k outduels Lackey and we win the series!!

    I know a lot of people will disagree...saying it won't be that easy beating the Angels...but won't it?? Maybe my predictions aren't accurate...considering I am a Sox fan...giving them an edge without even thinking it...while trying to predict a winner in the Dodgers-Cubs series may be more accurate because they are neutral. That is just what I think could happen... feel free to disagree.

    (By the way...that Dodgers-Cubs series...I'm liking the Cubbies in that one,3 games to2.)

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    i really dislike predictions when it comes to baseball. especially for the post season. .it gets me nervous lol...im serious, i try not to even think about the possible outcomes of the playoff games, because im afraid i'll jinx them or something....so im just focusing on game 1. hoping that lester has a brilliant outing and the offense does great.....but who knows.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    angels beat sox in first round....angels beat rays in the second

    dodgers surprises baseball and knock out the cubs in the first round.....then beat milwaukee in game 6.

    World Series......The battle of LA.....MannyWood!!!!!!!!!....K-Rods worse nightmare lol.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    O k here goes. I really think the Angels will be too much for Sox this time. Sox only chance is to strike early because of K Rod. Tampa is not going very far. Could this finally be the year of the Cub? I think Brewers may be the sleeper of whole thing. Dodger over their heads, even tho Torre did a commendable job.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    have to agree, as much as I hate to.  The angels are too deep, and the sox are a hurting team right now.  Too many holes offensively.  Will have to go to the bull pen early and often and I don't think they will have the guns to keep the angels down.  Angels in four, boo hoo.

    Cubs will get to the WS and the angels will beat then in six.  Hope I'm wrong and we get a Cubs Sox WS, but can't see it happening, but in a short series, you never know.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    I think the Brewers are goin all the way this year. I think Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder are gonna carry um all the way to the WS> As for the Rays, they beat the White Sox, or they would lose to the Twins in 5. Boston wins in 4 against LA. Beat Rays in 5 or sweep the Twins. Sweep World Series no matter who plays.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    Lol... good point redsoxchic. Predictions are basically just guesses. Even though I don't believe in jinxes... still it is better to look at reality instead of living in fantasy land (cough cough... Dodger fans).

    Focusing one game at a time is the best thing to do.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    yeah, well i try to be realistic most of the time....lol.  i admit that i have fantasized about another WS trophy this year though....but idk, things are looking pretty rough for us....im sure that this isnt the way the red sox wanted to come into the playoffs...lowell and drew injured, and undecided on whether or not they can play....josh beckett hurt a little...well anyways, im looking forward to game one: lester vs. lackey...wednesday, 10:00 pm...ugh, 10 oclock....im not going to be able to get up in the morning the next day. sigh. ya know, i do hate how the playoff games start so late. especially when on the west coast. i can rarely watch the whole thing, unless its on a weekend....

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    Lol... I'm guessing you have to go to work early. If I am too tired... I'll just DVR it and watch it the next day... although my friends will talk about what happened, so that will kind of ruin it, lol. At least if the lose one game... I can say to them "Oh I was looking for the Yankee game... but I couldn't find it on TV..." LOL. West coasters have it easy... when the Angels come here... they don't have to worry about getting up so early the next day.

    Re: Playoff Predictions

    i'd love to be able to DVR the games, but thats not an option, cuz i dont have it... so it's either watch the whole thing, or not watch the whole thing and miss out....i mean, im sure i could go over a friend or family member's house to watch it the following day, because some people i know have tivo or something.....but yeah, watching the game til two in the morning and then having to get up not much later...i end up dragging my ass all day. not fun....
