Well Robbie, that was a good way to kick of baseball’s post season. I picked the Reds to win the wild card play-in against the Pirates and the Pirates owned the game from the first pitch to the last. I am officially 0-1 in playoff predictions so far.
The American League game is tonight. The Rays and the Indians. I am rooting for the Indians because I think the Red Sox have a better chance at beating them in the Divisional Series than they do the Rays. However, this is a prediction post. I predict that the Rays will win and advance to face my team. Hopefully this time tomorrow I will be 0-2 in my prognosticating.
Oh, and the NHL started last night. No lock outs this year. I flipped the channel from TBS to VS (or whatever the hell it’s called now… NBC Sports or something?) just in time to see the Blackhawks unfold the Stanley Cup banner. Oh the hell with that. I switched back to TBS. The Bruins open against Tampa Bay on Thursday. No Stanley Cup banner raising ceremony for us this year.
