The Red Sox lost. Do you have any idea how painful that is? It really sucks the life out of these fun little prediction posts, I’m telling you. In a word, it sucks. Add that to the simple fact that my predictions haven’t been very good, and it’s making me feel bad about the state of baseball in the 21st century. Suck, I tell you. Suck.
How did the Division round go, after going 1–1 in the wild card play ins?
I picked the Red Sox over the Indians and the effin’ Indians won in a sweep, the pricks. I picked the Blue Jays over the Rangers and the Blue Jays won, the pricks. I picked the Nationals over the Dodgers and I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I picked the Cubs over the Giants and I was right. Two right out of four, combined with one out of two in the play ins and that makes me a whopping three out of six. I have a 3–3 record. 50% correct. Yippee.
Now for my predictions for the League Championship Series’. Given that the Boston Red Sox are not involved, the real prediction is who gives a flying leap.
Toronto vs Cleveland. I pick Toronto. They were the team that scared me the most before my beloved Red Sox choked all over themselves and were swept like a bunch of little children. I still think they are the team to beat. I am picking them with my brain, not with my heart. My heart would pick them too though because I want them to murderlize the effin’ Indians. Pay back for what they did to my Red Sox. Damn you, Cleveland Indians. Racist team nick name and all. Pricks. The Blue Jays will win this one.
Los Angeles vs Chicago. You already know my pick for this one. I said last time that the Cubs are going to the World Series, and I still believe that. They are my pick. But…… They are still the Cubbies…….. is there an epic collapse in their future? If so then this would be the perfect time for it to rear it’s ugly head. The Cubs haven’t won the World Series in something like 40,000 years. So what if they were far and away the best team in baseball this year, losing is what they do. Losing in gut wrenching, dare I say Red Soxian, fashion would just be oh so fitting. Still, I’m picking the Cubs.
And there you have it. I predict a Toronto vs Chicago World Series. It’s Boston free, so who cares. Yippee.
