Who do you have to win the pennants (1 Viewer)

[Detroit Fan 365]

Who do you guys have to win the NL and AL pennants?

 

[Billy Bats]

My brain says NY v St Louis.

My heart says rematch.

 

[Hoos First]

As of today= NY vs. Atl

My brain says NY v St Louis. My heart says rematch.

I pretty much cursed them I think, they were at 550, I put 10 on them to win the pennant.

 

[TBam]

I would really love to see my Reds but removing my homer shades I will go with ATL and NYY

 

[gump]

NYY vs SD

 

[Leroy Hoard]

AL vs NL

 

[culdeus]

TEX vs WAS

Rangers can wear their Senators uniforms because they can.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Another vote for Yanks/Braves. The Braves will send Bobby Cox a farewell that he'll never forget.

 

[Polecat]

I'll go with Texas v. San Diego, and here's why:

Up and down the rotation, I like Texas' pitching better than the Yankees. They also have arguablyt the best lineup 1-9 in the majors right now. I also don't see anybody in the Central beating Texas in the playoffs.

The Padres can win on the road. The Braves and Cards don't. Simple.

Talk me out of it if you will, but I can still get pretty good odds on a Rangers/Padres WS.

 

[Snotbubbles]

If the Phillies get healthy they are the best team in the NL. If they don't, I like St. Louis.

I also like, Tampa Bay in the AL. Well, I don't care about the AL as long as it isn't the Yankees.

 

[ditka...mike ditka]

I am going NY vs Phi with my head

Though my heart says the White Sox can sneak in there if they make the playoffs and their pitchers get hot during it.

 

[Finless]

Texas and Atlanta

Giants and Rangers I guess just to be different.

 

[Michael Brown]

Rays and Cardinals, best starting pitching

 

[Detroit Fan 365]

Rays and Cardinals, best starting pitching

A Yankees fan picking the Rays?

 

[Snotbubbles]

Rays and Cardinals, best starting pitching

Right now, yes. If the Oswalt to Philly trade goes through (rumors are they are waiting on Oswalt approval), then Philly has the best rotation if they make the playoff.

Rays bullpen is looking extremely tough too. Not sure that lineup will get it done though unless some guys break slumps.

RollinsPolanco

Utley

Howard

Werth

Ibanez

Victorino

Ruiz

Too bad that lineup has only been together for 6 games (scored 41 runs in those 6 games and went 6-0).

Who is better?

I like the Twins really. More extra base hits and less strikeouts. Seems the problem with this thing is moving guys from first. Plus, baserunning. If I got drunk enough you might even talk me into the Reds.

Fair enough.

My brain says NY v St Louis rematch.

Updated after acquiring Oswalt and not losing Werth.

There's one little piece missing. Can someone call the 2008 version of Brad Lidge and tell him we miss him?

Lidge is irrelevant. His 2009 version was one of the worst, if not the worst in MLB history and the Phils still won the pennant.2009 Brad Lidge: ERA+ 59

2010 Brad Lidge: ERA+ 97

What we really need is Danys Baez to turn into 2009 Chan Ho Park.

 

[Darth Cheney]

I got to go with the Phils and maybe the Rays. I think that a lot of the other big boys have somewhat shaky starting pitching ( The Yankees) or are relying on younger pitchers who might or might not hit an innings limit or lose effectiveness as they get into higher innings totals. The Phillies have 4 veteran inning eaters (Blanton included) with three of them being legit 1 or 1A guys.

 

[DropKick]

Who do you guys have to win the NL and AL pennants?

Picked Texas before the season and would love to see new blood. Rangers & Reds (second choice Rays & Giants).

Baez is awful...... :X

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Rays, Rangers, Twins, Yankees

Yanks over Minnesota, Texas over TB

Texas over Yanks

Phillies, Giants, Reds, Braves

Giants over Braves, Phillies over Reds

Giants over Phillies

Giants beat Rangers for the title.

Please disregard the timestamp below, someone is clearly trying to mess with me.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Rangers/Cards. With Lee anchoring the rotation and that potent lineup, I don't see them losing in the playoffs. The Cards are probably the most balanced team in the NL right now. I'm inheriting Texas as my team this year bandwagon

You do realize the lineup changed fairly dramatically right about this time, correct? There were also major health concerns with Josh/Cruz/etc.

Yeah, I know. I'm just having so much fun with the Rangers beatdown of the Yankees, I can't help myself.
