WINNER of the pool this year will receive a CD-R/CD-R's (copies) of 3 albums of his choice from my collection, which can be seen at http://www.discogs.com/user/Magnetonium . Free shipping will be provided, or a direct link via my website will be given ;-).

Ill make predictions later but we may have another subway series

American League:

Yankees over Tigers in 4.
Twins over A's in 3.

Yankees over Twins in 6 (perhaps 7...depends on if Johnson is available and not pitching like his alter ego BIG USELESS self)

National League: (couldn't care less who goes to the WS since the AL is taking it all again anyway, but...)

Dodgers over Mets in 5 (where are you Pedro?)
Padres over Cards in 4

Dodgers over Padres in 6

World Series:

Yankees over Dodgers in 5 (we can stop booing Arod now please)

Alright, I started on the set-up of the pool ... will have it ready by wednesday afternoon. I cant believe there's only two people interested in playing this year so far ...

Come on Shamez - you promised me last year you'll play if your Mets will make it, just see the 2005 Official MLB thread on Page 12 of this forum ;-) And others, including the defending champ dj2kta, and then Protege, 3rd place finisher ;-)

I dont count myself even though I'll participate, I am only comparing my picks to yours, and if I finish first it doesnt count, in that rare case the "second place" finisher will get the prize. I just want to see as usual if I can make better picks ;-)

this is free right?

Duh! AND you get free prizes if you win! LOL

This is not a money-down gambling playoff pool ;-)

While I was at it, here's my official line on this playoff year (it was tough to pick, but GO TIGERS GO!):

NYY vs. DET - DET in 5
MIN vs. OAK - MIN in 4

MIN vs. DET - MIN in 6
----------------------
NYM vs LAD - NYM in 4
SD vs STL - SD in 5

MIN vs NYM - MIN in 6.

One series at a time. It's all about the pitching.

It will be the Padres over the Cards and Dodgers over the Mets.

Don't care for the American League.

Lets go Padres . . .


Posted by halexander837 on Oct-03-2006 05:23:

Im hopin for a Subway Series to occur like in 2000 and im still rooting for the Mets.

But as much as i hate saying this... betting against the Yankees = Subway Series.

It has happened before and it might happen again.
