I will try to post one of these for each series also, NOT EACH GAME, or something like that.

Thanks to ken5050!

I like both these teams. I don't think I'll pull for either but I'll watch for sure. Andrew McCutchen is one of my favorite players though. He looks weird without the dreadlocks.

THE BASEBALL PING LIST


This is a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.
If you would like to be on the ping list please FReepmail me.

I have a prediction chart for the whole playoff picture on EXCEL that I’ve been doing for about 30 years. My current average for the last ten or so years is about 60% right.

I don’t know how to get the EXCEL sheet onto the web.

I have Pittsburgh beating the Cubbies even though I would like to see the Cubbies go all the way and make at least 1/2 of that part of “Back to the Future” come true.

Isn’t the fact that the Cubs are in the playoffs a tribute to Theo Epstein?

He shook up the Red Sox’ losing tradition, and maybe can do the same in Chicago?

I have nothing against the Cubs. Some of their fans are pretty obnoxious and vulgar but that’s not the fault of the players or organization. You can only throw so many people out of Wrigley.

Given that the THREE BEST TEAMS in baseball all come out of the NL Central, it’s probably inevitable that none of the three make it to the World Series..I actually think either the Cubbies or the Pirates will beat the Cards...

A certain movie back in the day said 2015 would be the year that the Cubs won it all...

October is the ONLY time to watch baseball. If the games don’t have any meaning (and 99% if regular season games don’t), there’s no reason to watch.

But when every pitch means EVERYTHING, there’s nothing better than playoff baseball.

Since Maddon manages the Cubs and Sean Rodriguez is on first for the Bucs, it’s almost like watching the Rays...

I think you can export your graph/chart as a picture (jpg) then post the picture to a shareable site like PhotoBucket.

The Cubs will not win the World Series this year the Teas Rangers will.

God hates Chicago and will frustrate all the endeavors from the Sodom on Lake Michigan

100% concur..I would like to see the season shortened by one weeks, and instead, have 6 teams make the playoff in each league..the winner in each division plus 3 wild cards..The divisional winners with the two best records get a bye..the first round is a best of 3...
