What, are all you forgetting this is Angel's Series!  Angels are taking the whole series!  This is their year and they have their best team ever.  They are playing by far better  than all the other teams and the Yankees are their toughest challenge.  Once they take the Yankees...

My prediction:  Whoever wins Angels vs. Yankees, will win the World Series  

In reference to saying Millwood was hot and that was why the Braves will win, I was referring to Game 2 of the NLDS because that is what I thought Typhy was referring to before he deleted his post Ace.

Quit frankly, I think the Angels are the best team in the American League. They have already proven they can hit Oakland's "Big Three" hard, as evidenced by the last two series of the regular season between the teams. The Angels, out of all American League teams, have had the best record at Yankee Stadium over the last four years, and that was backed up these last two games they played (They should be up 2-0 inthe series, but the Yanks had some timely hitting). I wont get started with the Twins, because it is obvious that the A's are going to tear them a new one in game 3, and the rest of the series quite frankly (Twins are 22-29 this year against lefties, two of Oakland's "Big Three" are good lefties...Mulder and Zito).

As for the National League, you got it wrong Ace. St. Louis has the best 1-8 hitters in probably all of baseball, not San Francisco. I see the Cardinals beating the Diamond Backs, and the Braves/Giants series will probably be decided in the bottom of the 9th in game 5. I'll make my predictions on the NL champ once the NLDS is over (depends who comes out, the Giants or the Braves).

If the Braves come out, they will go to the World Series, if the Giants come out, the Cardinals will go to the World Series.

World Series game one: National League Champion vs Anaheim Angels.

Ult... no, my opinions based on hope mainly ... I hate the friggin Yankees... So I choose the Angels to win, although it's less then likely in my opinion..

22-29 against Lefties means the odds say they will win one of the three games started by the two lefties.  Add that to their one win already and the win against the righty in game 4 tehy will get and they can win it despite having 3 games against lefties.

Not likely Bondo...you obviously don't follow baseball too well. 22-29 is against all lefties, whether they be crappy or good. Most of the wins have come across the crappy ones, and most of the losses have come fromt he good lefties. A good southpaw name Mulder shut the Twins down in game 2, and an even better one named Zito comes in for Game 3...lights out for the Twins. Also, there is no guarantee that they can beat Hudson again, I suspect that will be the clinching game for the A's.

Another thing you neglect is that the Twins have the worst record of all the teams in the playoffs this year, both in the AL and the NL...

Well, fuck. That's all there is to say about that game. At least we still go back to SF with a split.

As for the Twins-A's series, like Sin pointed out these aren't your average lefties. Mulder already showed he could dominate the Twins in game 2. In game 3 you have Zito, one of the two best lefties in the game today (Johnson being the other, and both of them being Trojans not coincidentally). Bondo, if you also want to go with the "odds," odds are very good Hudson will beat the Twins in game 4 seeing as his career record against them is 6-1.

What you don't seem to understand Sin, is that the last two times the Twins were in the playoffs, they were horrible underdogs and while I can't confirm it, the team with the worst record.  Both those times they won.

Well it's only the top of the ninth, but stick a for in them cuz the Twins are done. What were you saying Bondo?

Oh yeah Sin, you can't make the predictions for a game after the A's are already up 6-3. :P

LOL... Yay Assassin! Bah! Golden gate was the stick... Was too tired and depressed (candlestick park!)

Woot, the Twins handed over a nice ass-kicking today to force a game 5.  They may be facing the lefty Mulder, but they have Radke pitching who if not for defensive errors behind him would have had an exceptional game in Game 1.  It will be interesting.
