So... Cubs over Dbacks in 5
Phillies over Rockies in 5
Yankees over Indians in 3
Red Sox over Angels in 4

Yankees over Red Sox in 6
Cubs over Phillies in 6

Cubs over Yankees in 7 with Rivera blowing a save opportunity in the 9th of game 7.

[Quiet Bol]

Pretty much anything can happen in baseball playoffs. They need such a long regular season for a reason.

I'll try...

Yankees over Indians in 4
Red Sox over Angels in 5
Phillies over Rockies in 5
Cubs over Diamondbacks in 5

Yankees over Red Sox in 6
Cubs over Phillies in 7

Yankees over Cubs in 5

[Ngamer]

Alec got out of his tub long enough to submit some picks!

PADaviduke (9:39:37 PM): Chicago in 5
PADaviduke (9:39:41 PM): Colorado in 3
PADaviduke (9:39:46 PM): Boston in 4
PADaviduke (9:39:54 PM): Cleveland in 4

PADaviduke (9:40:27 PM): I think the Cubs will win in 6
PADaviduke (9:40:32 PM): Cleveland in 7

PADaviduke (9:40:37 PM): Cubs in 7 over Cleveland

[Quiet Bol]

Those picks look a little late!

[Ngamer]

Nearly everyone going with tightly-fought 4 or 5 game results here in R1, and yet we very well might be looking at four straight sweeps.  163 games later and the NL half, at least, was over in 3 games; yikes!  Bad news for the Elite, though, is how we were wrong about both results!

NL Round One Picks:

Phils - 7, Rocks - 6
Cubs - 9, Dbacks - 5

And the news just keeps gets worse... 10 of the 14 of us have already lost our NL World Series representative!

GO ROCKIES!

Round 1 Results

Predictor - Score (possible remaining)
NOTE:  0,1 possible remaining implies WS champ out.  2, 3 possible remaining imply WS champ is in.


Octo - 3 (3)
pack - 3 (3)
bcks - 3 (3)
Alec - 3 (1)
Wiff - 3 (1)
Jon - 2 (2)
Drag - 2 (2)
SZ - 2 (0)
Steve - 2 (0)
Lark - 1 (2)
Wheat - 1 (0)
QB - 1 (0)
Youse - 1 (0)


Assuming we'll go # of series predicted, no weights or anything in round 2 and 3.  Either way, I think highly doubt any 2 (2) could win this outright - and I'm too lazy to go through all 8 scenarios.  But there it is!


Please correct me if I'm wrong, this took me like 2 minutes tops.

[rshepherd1000]

looks like i missed the start of this. i actually have no idea what the results so far have been so ill predict anyway and you can choose whether or not you want to include me.

NL:
Phillies 3-2 Rockies
Diamondbacks 2-3 Cubs

Phillies 4-1 Cubs

AL:
Yankees 3-2 Indians
Red Sox 3-0 Angels

Red Sox 4-2 Yankees

World Series:
Red Sox 4-3 Phillies

[mikerspd]

Octo's own picks make it impossible for either 2(2) to pass him as he has Rockies and Indians picked.  I don't think it's even possible to have a tie for the leader, but I'm not concretely sure.

[ShadowZero64]

Yankees

[octoinky]

Jon says scoring goes 1-2-4.  I'll use that.
 

Shep, I can put you in with a * just for fun, b/c obv you wouldn't cheat with those preds .  nah JK, thats a 2 (2) I think, and you are eliminated by bcks anyway.


Alec was late, I'll add a * to him.  Three games were basically decided, and in a 5 game series that is big info!

[octoinky]

The World Series is...
Red Sox vs Rockies


Here is the leaderboard, based on 1-2-4 point scoring.  If your winner is alive, it is listed.


Points    Player - rd 1, rd 2 (winner)

7  pack - 3, 2 (Red Sox)
5  bcks - 3, 1 (Red Sox)
5  Octo - 3, 1
4  Drag - 2, 1 (Rockies)
4  Steve - 2, 1
3  Lark - 1, 1 (Red Sox)
3  Wiff - 3, 0
2  Jon - 2, 0
2  SZ - 2, 0
1  Wheat - 1, 0
1  QB - 1, 0
1  Youse - 1, 0
**Alec - 3, 0
**Shep 1, 1 (Red Sox)


** denotes late picks.


The scenarios are pretty dry and obvious at this point.  I'll update this list, which will be really easy, once the World Series is over!


GO ROCKIES

[octoinky]

Red Sox embarrass the Rockies, *yawn.*  Here are the final standings, based on a 1-2-4 method.  Pack's picks are truly impressive, missing only one series.


11 pack - 3, 2, 1
9 bcks - 3, 1, 1
7 Lark - 1, 1, 1
5 Octo - 3, 1, 0
4 Drag - 2, 1, 0
4 Steve - 2, 1, 0
3 Wiff - 3, 0, 0
2 Jon - 2, 0, 0
2 SZ - 2, 0, 0
1 Wheat - 1, 0, 0
1 QB - 1, 0, 0
1 Youse - 1, 0, 0
**Alec - 3, 0, 0
**Shep 1, 1, 1

[wishiwasfamous]

Funny stuff.

See y'all next year

[packattack]

I actually thought the Indians would beat the NYY but I picked NYY because I wanted to see Boston kick their ass again.  Cleveland should have been able to close out Boston but I thought, even down 3-1, that Boston would win the world series.  I made a lot of money on postseason baseball betting though.

[Ngamer]
