So who is your guys' picks in the playoffs this year?

I'm a die-hard Cubs fan, so it should be obvious how I feel about this year :)

Cubs Vs. Dodgers: Cubs will win in 3. Errant bolts of lightning directed at various Cubs fan favorites will mysteriously take out dodgers players standing where cubs players had been standing seconds earlier. The Cubs will win by default after only twenty four hours of mysterious and accidental yet calamitous occurences to Dodger players who go within 1 mile of cubs players.

Phillies vs. Brewers: Phillies win in 4. Because having CC Sabathia in your lineup only wins you one game.

Angels vs. Red Sox. Angels Win in 4. Angels are amazing. They haven't had to care in almost a month. The Red Sox are going to be crashing from the adrenaline high of barely edging out the wild card.

White Sox vs. Tampa Bay. White Sox win in 3. This is the first time the Rays have ever made it to the playoffs. The fact that people actually care about them enough to watch them play will cause them to feel nervous. The prospect of Tropicana field having a sellout crowd will cause massive heart attacks among the Rays.

NLCS and ALCS

Cubs vs. Phillies. Cubs win in 4. For the same reasons the Cubs won previously in the NLDS

White Sox vs. Angels. White Sox win in 5. Obviously this isn't a serious prediction thing, but a Chicago world series would be amazing.

World Series

Cubs will beat the White Sox in 4, but no one will be able to testify that they actually did, as Wrigley field's normal human vrowd will be entirely replaced with billy goats. The Cubs won't take any chances.

I wanna see the Rays win a game or two or three. I'm an Orioles fan (shut up) but the Rays have been bad for so long that its about time they did well.

Obviously our Rockies aren't headed any further this year, so it really doesn't matter to me, although I guess it would be cute for a first-timer like the Rays to go all the ray..err...way.

Cubs lost to the Dodgers last night but with Carlos Zambrano on the mound tonight I think we should bounce back tonight.

I would love to see a Rays/Cubs World Series - the two best stories in baseball this year.
