Our fearless baseball predictions

Each of our writers gives their picks for the baseball playoffs, after the jump.

Stanley Cup Recap - Night 3

Philadelphia 4 - Washington 5
Wonderful game. The Caps got a-plus performances from their best players. Green was excellent, Ovechkin was a monster and I’m pretty sure I saw flashes of the old Sergei Fedorov. That said, the Flyers served notice that they aren’t going anywhere. This series will be brutal, high [...]

Stanley Cup Opens - People Care!!

With all of that NCAA nonsense out of the way, it’s time to get to what every sports fan REALLY cares about. Tomorrow night the puck drops on the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Parity – both artificial and natural – created one of the more exciting conclusions to an NHL season, and the on-paper match-ups [...]

Rockies Ticket Blunder: A Delay In Gouging Red Sox Fans

Ok, this is the second time this year where I’ve wasted part of a day trying to buy tickets online … only to be greeted by the screen of death informing me that the server is taking too long to respond to my request.
The first time around, it was TicketWeb’s fault; they didn’t realize how [...]

Time To Gouge The Red Sox Fans … And The Evils of Ticketmaster

As some of you know, Rockies’ World Series tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Mountain Time (West Coast people, that’s 9 a.m. your time … East Coast people, that’s noon your time).
As a resident of Boston (ok, Allston), I am encouraging all of you to snatch up tickets for games 3, 4, and [...]

Manny’s Favorite Song – I’m Still Standing!

By now, any casual fan has seen the home run by Manny Ramirez in Game 2 of the ALDS.  What I found curious was how long Manny was “Being Manny” and stood at home plate to watch his HR. 
In this video, he hits the home run at 13 seconds into the clip.  He doesn’t start [...]

There’s crying in baseball . . . . unless you hate women

Yankees radio shill Suzyn Waldman’s sad whimpering only added to the humor of team’s latest embarrassing first-round playof exit. Yet poor Suzyn, for some reason, took a lot of heat for her complete lack of professionalism.
Now she informs us that we who laughed at her tears are sexist.
And journalists and fans everywhere, female and male, [...]

We suck at picking baseball series

Last week we brought you TMC’s “expert” picks for the 2007 MLB playoffs. Given how our staff (and especially myself) have performed in our selections, I wouldn’t blame you if you never read anything baseball-related here again. Yikes.
Here are the standings through the Divisional Series (an asterisk indicates that the writer’s World Series champion pick [...]

NLDS at Wrigley! It’s fun! It’s exciting! It’s over?

A Cub fans thoughts from inside Wrigley Field, and let me tell you, its not pretty.

Phillies and Cubs Videos - Good Philly Fan Behavior & Doing the Bartman

I really wanted to wait and post these separately next week.  But since the Phillies and Cubs are determined not to make it to game 4 of the NLDS, I give you these 2 clips.
 This is from Game 1 of the NLDS between the Phillies and the Rockies.  The real question is, why is Philly [...]
