MLB 2005

Yankees win the East because they won the head-to-head regular season series against the Sox. They lead 10-8 right now, so even if they lose tomorrow they still lead 10-9.

Yankees win the AL EAST!!

And it couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of ******** guys.

The other key to the Yanks winning today was Cleveland losing.  Since they can't catch the Yanks, the winner of today's was assured of a playoff spot if Cleveland lost.  Since the Yanks won, and they would have the better head to head regardless of what happens tomorrow, they win the East.

Ah, OK.  I thought there was a playoff for a tie for the division title, but I guess I was wrong.  Thanks for the info.

****.  I can't stand the Yankees.

Time to see how I did...

Jeff's Picks for 2005:


AL East - Boston
AL Central - Minnesota 
AL West - California (I refuse to call them LA or even Anaheim  )
Wild Card - New York

NL East - Atlanta
NL Central - St. Louis
NL West - San Diego
Wild Card - Florida

Well, in the AL my Twins failed me and I mixed up the order on the Red Sox and Yanks (but they did make it a close race).  Not too shabby.  Over in the NL, the fish let me down, letting the Astros sneak in there instead.  Eh, 75% isn't too bad.   


My playoff picks...

New York over California
Boston over Chicago

St. Louis over San Diego
Atlanta over Houston

Boston over New York
St. Louis over Atlanta

St. Louis over Boston - time for the Red Birds to avenge last year...

My playoff predictions.  And as much as I want a repeat, I don't see it happening.  The Sox pitching, especially the bullpen, is horrible.  I don't see them slugging their way to another WS.

ALDS
Red Sox over White Sox
Angels over Yankees

NLDS
Cards over Padres
Braves over Astros (although I wouldn't be surprised if the Astros won - Clemens, Pettite and Oswalt in a short series is rough)

ALCS
Angels over Red Sox (I wish it was the other way around, but I'm a realist)

NLCS
Cards over Braves

WS
IMO, the two most complete teams - pitching, offense and defense - in the Majors make it.
Cards over Angels

Wow!  WS was ready for the playoffs today.  14-2 over the Red Sox.

Schilling's not Schilling, and there ain't no Pedro.  Matt Clement got bombed silly.

Red Sox SUCK.

Red Sox SUCK.

I'm sure you said the same thing last year when they lost 19-8 and I know how that turned out.  I think you do too, because you seemed to have disappeared after that.

One more loss and I don't have to see those eternal pains in my ass until pitchers and catchers report in March.

Plus the Yankees will have an easier time with the White Sox in the ALCS.

  I'd think the Yanks should worry about Anaheim first instead of looking ahead.

I'd say there's a good chance that Randy Johnson is going to take them apart in game 3.

[Dressel Rebel]

Whew...

3 more outs here against the bottom of the Red Sox order, and I'm rid of these pests for the season...

[Dressel Rebel]

WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

See ya next year Red Sucks!!!!!

[Dressel Rebel]

What do you think about that Joe?
