POSTSEASON PREDICTIONS
American League Division Series
BOSTON d. OAKLAND in 5 games
--Keith Foulke's magic will run out in Game 5 when he serves up a meatball to Red Sox MVP David Ortiz. Remember last year, when Billy Koch coughed up the ALDS for the A's in Game 5 to the Twins? Don't be shocked to see it happen again, this time to Foulke.
MINNESOTA d. NEW YORK in 5 games
--Well, I like Homer Hankies. And I like to see George Steinbrenner in a pissed off mood. I'm being generous with the 5 games though, I hope the Twins sweep the Yankees. But even I'm not that stupid.
National League Division Series
SAN FRANCISCO d. FLORIDA in 5 games
--As long as my middle school classmate Dontrelle Willis can win Game 4 for the Marlins, then I'll be happy. Chipman Pride baby! (Chipman Middle School, Alameda, CA, where both Dontrelle and I went to school together from 1993 to 1995, when I moved from California up to Washington.)
CHICAGO d. ATLANTA in 4 games
--Yada yada yada. We've heard about how good this Braves offense is. But the Cubs pitching will shut them down here.
Get ready for the Hawks, Atlanta fans. Oh, my bad...
American League Championship Series
MINNESOTA d. BOSTON in 7 games
--Believe in the power of the Homer Hankies. As good as the Red Sox offense is, their bullpen is just putrid. You can't expect that putrid pen to take them all the way. It's a miracle that I even have them going to the ALCS at all.
National League Championship Series
SAN FRANCISCO d. CHICAGO in 6 games
--Sorry, Dusty. Great story with the Cubs, but the Giants are the better ballclub. Here's to Felipe Alou getting to his first World Series.
WORLD SERIES
SAN FRANCISCO d. MINNESOTA in 5 games
The Homer Hankies can only take you so far. Barry Bonds is due for a World Series title. It's high time for him to get it. Like him or hate him, the man is money. You can't deny that at all.
ALCS MVP: Shannon Stewart, Minnesota
NLCS MVP: Jason Schmidt, San Francisco
WS MVP: Barry Bonds, San Francisco
There it is, my 2003 baseball postseason predictions. Don't use them for gambling purposes, because quite frankly, I'll probably get one of these picks wrong.
But the postseason should be fun regardless of what happens. Enjoy it, even if you're a depressed Mariner fan like me.
