Rays over Phillies in the WS.

I do think the Dodgers could beat the Phillies to get in, but I can't
give any team with Manny the benefit of any doubt, even in a
prediction...and it has little to do with '04.

Boston and Tampa look tough. LA, right now is the hottest team in the
playoffs. The possiblility Manny being Manny is a sure weakness of LA!

My prediction is LA vs Tampa Bay

Red Sox over Phillies in 6.

The Rays/Red Sox series could be entertaining, considering they despise
each other and have brawled all year long.

Dodgers will win the NLCS. Their pitching is much deeper than
Philly's, and the lineup starts out Furcal, Martin, Manny, Kemp and
Ethier. That's pretty good, and it's not one that played together all
year until the playoffs began.

In the AL, I would love to see the Red Sox lose, but my guess is that
they'll find a way to beat Tampa Bay, and if they do, they'll win the
World Series as well.

The gaffes, the tragicomic sort patented by the Cubs,
came with the fury of a god scorned. DeRosa botched a
double-play ball at second base that would’ve allowed
Carlos Zambrano to escape the second inning unscathed,
and Lee followed with an uncharacteristic mangling of
a ground ball at first base, Ramirez followed with a
fourth inning error and Theriot with his own in the ninth,
completing the trapezoid of ineptitude. Certainly no
playoff team ever had seen all four of its infielders
botch routine defensive plays in the same game.

History reserves some things for the Cubs.

"It’s like we might as well not have had gloves out
there," Lee said. "We just couldn’t catch the ball."

Rays....4 games to 2 over Phillies.

Don't know that I'm actually pulling for anyone in the Series, though.
New blood...bad for TV ratings (who cares), but necessary for long-term
League health.
