Hey, how about those Pirates? Was that a case of “we’re just happy to be here” or what? I shut the game off at 5-0 Giants and it only got worse. I picked both Wild Card match ups wrong. 0-2, kiddos. Yippee for me.
Here are my useless division series picks. If you’re a bettin’ type I would suggest betting against all of these predictions.
Detroit vs Baltimore: There is no way in heaven or on Earth that I would ever root for the Baltimore Orioles. I don’t Yankees hate them, but they are in Boston’s division so it’s a close thing. Go Tigers.
Kansas City vs Los Angeles of Anaheim: I’d like to pick the Royals. Did you see George Brett’s reaction to the walk off the other day? Priceless. I’d like to pick them to win this series, but the Angels are going to dismantle them and throw each separate piece into a different dumpster so that all the kings horses and all the kings men will never be able to put the Royals back together again. Go Angels. Damn it, I feel disgusting saying that.
San Francisco vs Washington: I don’t really know much about either of these teams. I’ll use the same logic I used for last night’s game. The Giants used to be from New York, therefore I hate them. Go Senators… I mean Expos… I mean Nationals.
St Louis vs Los Angeles: I hate the Dodgers. Only partly because they too used to be a New York team. Mostly I hate them because they are the Dodgers. Go Cardinals.
To sum up, my prediction for the League Championship Series will be Detroit vs Anaheim of Los Angeles of California and Washington vs St Louis.
Let the games begin, and let these predictions prove utterly wrong.
