Division Championship Series Preview

Baltimore Vs Seattle
The top seeded Baybirds draw the Seattle Grunge in their first play off series. Baltimore Is well rested and ready to go. Seattle is running a little low on energy but can still play ball pretty well. The season series was pretty close with Baltimore winning six of the ten games. Seattle line up can stand up to just about any other teams and they have a great ace to to fall back on. Baltimore will score runs and hold other teams scores down they are hard to beat. I think this series will be over in four games with Baltimore taking the series 3-1.
Minnesota Vs Honolulu
Minnesota hold the season series by just a game this season and both teams got off to a really slow start. The Millers have out hit the Hoplites this season but that doesn't make them easy outs. The Hoplites do have a very talented line up that has under preformed this season. The Pitching is really a pick a team and roll. Both teams have been about even this season so far pitching wise. If the game comes down to a home run though don't look for the Millers to be the team to let it up. The have given the fewest in the AL this season. My completely bias pick Millers in 3. You don't like it write your own stuff
Fargo Vs Philadelphia
Philly has a strong top top of their rotation and a solid middle of the order. Fargo also has a very strong top of the rotation but don't really have a big bat in the middle. A couple of their players have had nice seasons but I want to see more. They do though get on base very well so that might make this interesting series to fallow. My Pick Philly in 5.
Houston Vs New York Midtowners
Both teams finished the season 1-2 in hitting with the slight edge going to Houston. The Pitching might come down to which bullpen flinches first. To me the bullpen edge goes to Houston. This series is stacked with stars and great pitching match-ups. This might be the best series of the 4 to keep track of. My secret joy would be Gerald Baker winning a game. He is my favorite player of all time in this world. My pick is Houston in 4.

NL Play-Offs

OK it is finally time to talk about the other league for a bit. The NL has really come down to the last few weeks of the season before the play-Off picture for form. Today It is looking like we have some clarity. The Charlotte Shock still have a chance but at four games out I think its not looking so good. They have such a hard schedule ahead with games against New York Midtowners (88-60) Washington D.C. (83-65) Little Rock (74-74) and ending the season at Houston(91-57... look out for these guys this team is stacked I tell you). So I am sticking a fork in the outlet and getting the Shock out of the play-offs. Vancouver Has a slim one game lead over Sacramento. The loser of this race is also completely out of the play-offs because they are just too far back. What is left is positioning for first round games. Houston has a three game advantage over New York for the 2nd spot so maybe that's in reach yet. Fargo and Washington I would believe like a chance to play against Vancouver instead of New York or Houston in the first round so they may play it out. I do have to say one thing the NL this season was a little more fun that the AL great season NL and good luck to those moving on and best of luck next season for those not.

The ROY guys to me is a three player race The Baybirds have 2 guys in AAA that are crazy good and if either of them get the call they will be tough to beat but Cloud likes to keep his guys down there until they get really close to there projections.

The guys are named Erubiel Delgado and Paul Melville (The Baybirds AAA team could make the play-offs by the way). There is a guy that may have a dark horse chance that is already called up his name is Gorkys Limon

Cy young I believe will go to Bryce McMillon a fine young player with crazy good ratings... I would love to have him on the Millers (do I get fined for talking about other players like in the MLB)

Detriot should be right there and Pawtown has a great line up Seattle will also be right in the thick of things too. I bet both wild cards come from the North this season it was close last season.

Memphis and their immortals will clean my clock again and be in the playoffs plus The Hopiltes and of course the Triple Bs of Baltimore. Al winner will be drum roll please The Millers Lose to the Hopilites and Philly beats them in the World Series.


Not to bad not bad at all. The AL North has been and currently is the best division in baseball with out a doubt. The Cy Young party may be crashed by Ramiro Cabrera who is pitching great but still Bryce McMillon has my vote because I want to be right. As for the MVP I may never figure out how the pick the top five. Eddie Hawkins and Al Manuel would be my one and two in either order and neither are even on the ballot! I'm not saying the guys on the top five are not great but I would pick both those two over everyone else. Now for the ROY I didn't really explore pitching that much for the award and maybe I should have just a bit. But Who else had Gorkys Limon in there. I am so freaking smart it makes me blush. I had Paul Melville but really anyone with a half a brain would I didn't see Walter Thomas having the season that he is having though. Well My arm is sore from all this back patting so Ill leave it at that for now.

How Detroit makes it in

In my last post I pretty much stuck a fork into The Miracles. After a look at their schedule I would like to revisit. Detroit has seven games left against The Devils and at five back that might be enough. The Devils are running low on energy at the moment where Detroit is still running their everyday line up at very close to 100% all the way through. The Miracles also still have the best pitching in baseball and are coming off a huge series sweep against Baltimore plus winning 2 of 3 against Memphis. They still have some tough games ahead against Honolulu (6) but are coming off a victory in the last game. They also have 3 game sets left against both Seattle and Minnesota. That means that according to my Minnesota math they have 19 games left of their final 36 against teams with a winning record. Indianapolis on the other hand has the seven games left with Detroit three in the last week of the season with Baltimore when they may be resting up for the post season and 4 left with Memphis who may at that point be resting starters as well. That is again by my Minnesota math 14 games against teams with a winning record. I am not saying that they will blow their lead it is their spot right now and win and your in but keep your eye in your rear view mirror objects are closer than they appear. There is still a race in the AL yet.
