"Pick the baseball playoffs, 2011 version." |
LAST EDITED ON 09-30-11 AT 09:00 AM (EST)Nice and simple. 2 points for picking winners in the LDS, 3 points in the LCS, 4 points in the WS. Bonus 1 point per series for picking the number of games correctly. And that's it. No fancy swirling bets. Ties are ties; no tiebreakers. Deadline is noon Saturday. I realize that means that the first two ALDS games will be played before the deadline. But such is life, because I don't know how many people will pick before 5 today. LDS: AL Texas Rangers v. Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays New York Yankees v. Detroit Tigers NL Milwaukee Brewers v. Arizona Diamondbacks Philadelphia Phillies v. St. Louis Cardinals

I haven't had a chance to pick, and I haven't seen any of the results. But here are some bad picks, guaranteed or your money back!The only way this can work out for Boston fans is if the Rays come back to beat the Yankees, thus making the Yankees' decision to roll over and play dead for the Rays into a blunder. So... Rays over Rangers in 3 (Rangers are a mess against a team with right-handed power) Yankees over Tigers in 5 (Verlander wins twice) Rays over Yankees in 6 Diamondbacks over Brewers in 4 (TERRIBLE road team) Phillies over Cardinals in 3 (By the time Carpenter pitches, Cards will be on life support) Phillies over Diamondbacks in 5 Phillies over Rays in 6

And that should be a huge edge for the Tigers, where Fister has been great since coming over from Seattle. But I'll stick with my Yankees pick.

By this point, I figured we'd have most of the first round results. Instead, we have exactly one:Texas over Tampa Bay in 4. I expected that Price would lose for the Rays when the series was 1-1 coming to him, but I actually never believed that Shields or Hellickson would lose. All the other series have a 5th game coming up. In other words, there's a huge dollop of luck in each one. As far as Ventura . . . eh. Better than Guillen, I guess.

You can blame St. Louis' bullpen in game 2 for costing you the chance of a default win.

26. "RE: Round 2 Results" |
What a dreadful game from La Russa. This might be the worst managing job I've ever seen, and I've seen some beauties over the years.Twice, Craig was thrown out trying to steal second with Albert Pujols up. WTF. Even if he was successful, you know the Rangers would then walk Pujols with Holliday having a lousy series. La Russa claimed it was "to open up a hole on the second base side". Newsflash: Pujols has hit the opposite way into the hole 11 times all year; meanwhile, he's hit 42 home runs. He's four times more likely to hit a HR than to pound it into a gaping hole vacated by a 2B. Kind of a big deal when you're trying to go ahead (as in the case of the 7th inning) and when you're trying to tie the game (as in the case of the 9th inning). And, seriously, you're going to blame your bullpen screw-ups on the BP coach not hearing you clearly? Everyone knew that Lance Lynn was unavailable, yet you're going to bring him in to intentionally walk a guy and then pull him, then claim that the BP guy didn't understand? C'mon, Tony, you've been managing a thousand years by now, you gotta have a system in place for communicating with the BP. Then you leave in Rzepczynski to face a righty in Napoli when Motte was available (or should have been)? If you say that there was a miscommunication about bringing in Lynn, then why not stand right there on the mound and get the BP coach's attention that you want the other guy warming up NOW? He knows how to look over into the bullpen and see if somebody's warming up or not.

After the Cards failed to score in the 6th inning with bases loaded and two out, keeping the score at 4-4, I gave up and went to bed. Guess I missed a few things.
