post season predictions

My predictions for the upcoming season.

Based upon my pre-season predictions, I picked 3 out of the four NL participants, not seeing the emergence of the Reds. In the AL, I predicted 2 out of the four, suprised by the Rays and Rangers. Really, if the Sox hadn't been hit by the worst injury outbreak that I have ever witnessed, they probably would still be playing.

Phils over reds in three.
Giants over braves in four.

Phils over Giants in five.

Twins over Yanks in five.
Rays over Rangers in five.

Rays over Twins in six.

Phils over Rays in five.

This year, I actually have some sense of reason for being a homer.
