Hey, at least the Dodgers are out of it, right? I said, am I right?
(insert the sound of crickets chirping)
Okay. I suck. Boy, do I suck. This is awful. Remember the NHL playoffs last year? I picked almost the whole post season correctly. Not the effing Bruins of course, but their road to redemption starts tonight against the Flyers at 7:30. We’re not talking about hockey right now though, we’re talking about baseball, and boy do I just suck.
I went zero for the wild card play in games. I picked them both wrong. How’d I do in the division round? Hint. Crappy.
I picked Detroit over Baltimore. Nope. Baltimore won.
I picked Anaheim over Kansas City. Not only that, I picked an Anaheim blow out. Nope. Wrong on both counts. Kansas City swept.
I picked Washington over San Francisco. Nope. Negative. Wrong again. San Francisco won.
I picked St Louis over Los Angeles. Thank you, oh baseball gods, for finally letting me get one right! St Louis won! WOOHOO! Thanks Cardinals!
So overall in this baseball post season, I am 1/6. I am the worst predictor ever.
So what about the League Championship round?
Baltimore vs Kansas City: My hatred of all AL East teams not called the Boston Red Sox persists. I can even honestly say that I wanted to pick the Royals in each of the first two rounds, even though I didn’t. Well, no more. I am picking the Royals to continue their unlikely march to the World Series. The Royals will win the American League Pennant.
San Francisco vs St Louis: Have you noticed that three of the four teams still alive have multi-word city names? Is it a conspiracy? The Cardinals have been in it every year for a while now. It was glorious to see them lose to Boston in 2004 and 2013, but in the non-Red Sox years I have been routinely rooting for them. That happens again this year. The New York, um… I mean San Francisco Giants shall not pass. The Cardinals will win the National League Pennant.
Of course I’ve been wrong in five out of six picks, so who the hell knows what’s going to happen.
