Mizzou winning a ncaa title in bb.

Duke winning a ncaa title in bb.
KSU winning a ncaa title in bb.
Cardinals winning a World Series.
Yankees winning a World Series.
Pats winning a Super Bowl.

You have seen 4 of the 6 and my guess is you will never see the 2 you haven't seen.

My worthless predictions.....
I have basically zero confidence in these and would probably make different picks tomorrow.

Yankees beat Red Sox in Wild Card game

Yankees beat the Rays 3-2
White Sox beat Astros 3-2

Yankees beat White Sox 4-1


Dodgers beat Cardinals in Wild Card game

Dodgers beat Giants 3-2
Brewers beat Braves 3-1

Brewers beat Dodgers 4-3

Yankees beat Brewers 4-2

That would be awful.

As a casual MLB fan I usually root for the underdog/s.
I would be very happy for Seattle and Toronto fans if their team/s made the playoffs but meanwhile, I'm finding myself wanting Boston and New York to be the WC teams. I'll root for the White Sox but if/when they get eliminated, I really don't care who wins the AL. I suppose I would root for the Yankees or Red Sox being that I have friends and family members who are big fans of each team.
On the NL side, I'm torn. I would kind of like to see the Brewers win the WS and then if the Packers win the Super Bowl, Wisconsin would have a nice championship trifecta. That being said, I have always been a Dodgers fan but the Dodgers being in the playoffs is kind of stale. I would have liked to have seen the Padres make the playoffs and then I would have probably rooted for them to win the NL.

Give me Yankees Red Sox wild card and the Red Sox winning it.

Then loosing.

Go Brewers. Go Rays.

That'll do.

Mizzou pitcher vs. STL Cardinals. They're not making this an easy pick to root for.

Now the Dodgers and Astros loose and everything else is gravy.

All 4 series are going to be really good..

Think Chicago gets by Houston.
Red Sox barely get by the Rays.
Atlanta beats the Brewers somewhat easily. Maybe 3-1.
Dodgers beat the Giants in 5.

On top of knowing some annoying Giants fans, 2014 did it for me: Go Dodgers.

Red Sox or Rays are fine with me in AL. Anyone but Giants in NL.

Soler Power in Atlanta. I doubt the Chisox can make it, I am guessing it will be the sign stealing Stros.

White Sux = DONE! JUNK!

Told ya!

Praying Mother Nature comes through for me today. I can't attend the game today but if it's postponed I can go tomorrow.

So if it's Astros Red Sox, does that disprove the phrase, 'cheaters never win?'

It is a sign from God, stolen from the center field bleachers and radioed in.

I'm happy I'm not a Giants fan. Complete fuck job by Gabe Morales to end the game. I don't think they would have won had he not said Flores went around but we'll never know.

Yea, bad call at the end there.
If I were to change sports, in general, i'd remove auto replay entirely, and give coaches/teams 3 challenges. Everything can be challenged. But it becomes a strategy to figure out if it's worth it.

Right, the Giants were absolutely going to lose that game.

But, it really took away from the fans and an incredible game to end it on that shit. Even if he barely went, don't end it. That has to be an obvious offer at the ball to call him out.

"absolutely"

Flores had 18 HRs this season.
You never know.
