Okay, so let's take a look at my MLB playoff picks from back on March 30. We'll start with the American League:
AL Central: Cleveland Indians. If I keep picking them, one of these years they're going to make me look smart.
CORRECT!
AL West: Oakland Athletics. They are the kings of the late August/September run and they just won't stop making the playoffs. I won't pick against them until proven otherwise.
WRONG! I have officially been proven otherwise. Real winners: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
AL East: Boston Red Sox. J.D. Drew has made me a believer!
CORRECT! And look who the hottest bat going into the playoffs is. Ah, Mr. J... D... Drew!
AL Wild Card: New York Yankees. Even when they suck, they're still pretty fucking good.
CORRECT! That's three for four in the AL. I'm the greatest of all time!
And now, the National League a.k.a the "League I Don't Watch or Know Anything About."
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals. Pujols will kick the opposition in their poo holes.
WRONG! Man, they had a shitty year.
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers. Strong pitching and weeeeeeeak ass division will take this one. Arizona is starting to turn around, but not this year.
WRONG! Okay, I guess Arizona was ready.
NL East: New York Mets. The offense could be killer and Pedro will return around August just in time for a playoff run.
WRONG! Eesh. I'm going to go ahead and give myself partial credit for this one. They were seven games ahead with ten games left or something ridiculous like that. What a colossal collapse. Just ridiculous.
NL Wild Card: The Chicago Cubs. That's right, I'm picking the Cubs. One of the worst teams in baseball last year will make a miraculous run into the playoffs... and then fail miserably due to injury-prone pitching.
WRONG! But they DID win the division, so I'll give myself partial credit. The actual wild card will be decided tonight between the San Diego Padres (who I thought about picking) and Colorado Rockies (who I dismissed outright as bottom dwellers).
My pre-season World Series pick was the Mets over the Indians and obviously that's not going to happen, so I'll adjust that to the Phillies over the Indians. (Note: This is a prediction of what I think will happen, not a reflection of what I want to happen. So shut it, Alena.)
