Two of my four series predictions (for the NL/AL DS) have come true...now I have to wait for the Braves to knockout the Giants and the A's to finish off the Twins and I will be perfect like my game to game predictions.

Game 4 prediction (Braves at Giants): Tom Glavine bounces back from his poor outing and the Braves offense remains hot and hits Ortiz hard to clinch the series for Atlanta. Braves win...

Game 5 prediction (Twins at Athletics): Mulder takes it to the Twins again as the Athletics advance to the ALCS vs. Anaheim.

W00T!!!
*Waves Homer Hankie*

Twins are so cool.  And they beat a lefty.

Bring on the Angels who don't quite have the line-up of lefty pitchers that the A's have so unlike this series, it won't be a big factor.  Also consider that the Twins will have home field advantage which is good since they do well in the Metrodome.

Well, I called Cardinals vs. Braves in the NLCS and the Twins in the ALCS...

Either way, I believe it is time for those Twins-doubters Sin and Ace to eat crow.

What Psycho... Is this you're off day?! Giants up 7-0 and A's lost... Both your picks went down the drain!

Ben

Hehehe... I always called you psycho... Anyway, are you a Braves fan?!  (PS... BOO IF SO!)

Ben

Oh hell yeah, that was a great game. Between that, the A's losing (yes I hate the A's, even though I thought they would beat the Twins), and the Niners winning, my sports day was perfect. Well almost, the Raiders could have lost. I can't wait for tomorrow night's game. Millwood is going on only 3 days rest; pitchers on three days rest have been lit up in the playoffs in recent years. Ortiz is going to pitch a great game and look for Barry to shut his critics up.

OMG... Ace, do we have the same taste in sports or what?! (Niners) Well, all that except Kings vs Lakers... Lakers friggin suck!
(teeheeee couldn't resist saying that)
P.S. You're right... A's losing is so awesome!

Assassin,
   How could you like the Braves more then the Giants... I mean, come on! They don't have nothing on us... Hell, last game we took over their Brave Chant and arm movement thingy! What'd be great is another year of the Wildcard team taking it all!

Ben

That and the Braves are the biggest chokers in playoff history, except maybe the Red Sox, and just ahead of Barry Bonds...although I think Barry finally managed to get out of that title as he had a decent series...basically nothing except the two solo home runs prior to game 5 but a fantastic game 5.  Funny how all the favorites lost.  I guess it might go back to the very first prediction I made in this thread...Twins vs. Cards in a rematch of '87...and to think people called me crazy

Hehehe... I'm a Dusty Baker doubter... What's your point.... (I'm also a Giants fan)

Barry Bonds the best since Willie Mays? I dunno... What about Will Clark, Matt Williams... Dave Dravecky!? Thos were greats too!

Ben

Bondo, no wonder you like dick. How you come up with such opinions is even more astounding than some of your political views. Nothing against Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn as they are both Hall of Famers, but neither is in Bond's league. No one today is, and very few in the history of the game were. Bonds is the most feared hitter since Babe Ruth. Bonds walked 198 times this season, 65 of them intentional. That's ridiculous. In 2001, he was facing a left handed pitcher and he was walked so that the pitcher could face the reigning NL MVP Jeff Kent, a right hander. If that's not respect, how about the fact that he is the only player ever to be intentionally walked with the bases loaded! He has more home runs than everyone but 3 people in the history of the game, and he very well may pass 1, 2, or even all 3 of them. That's not enough? How about winning 8 Gold Gloves. Want more? How about being the only player ever with 400 steals and 400 homers and he will most likely get to 500-500 next season. He holds the single season records for home runs, slugging percentage, on base percentage, walks, and intentional walks. He even won a batting title and was oh so close to finishing with more home runs than strikeouts (46 vs 47 respectively) which is unheard of for a power hitter. Dude also has 4 MVPs and is about to pick up his fifth. Really Bondo, if you want to argue against that, please bring me a player who even comes close to being as complete as Bonds. Until then, shut your piehole and go back to figure skating.
