If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 10

By ⋅ June 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only one new team has fought into the race in the last week, but a huge amount has still changed, including two new division leaders and a new AL leader (nearly MLB leader). Cleveland’s once mighty lead is now down to percentage points. The Yankees still can’t figure out Boston. St. Louis and Arizona are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 9

By ⋅ June 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After nine weeks, the Indians are finally slipping out of the AL lead; even their once impregnable AL Central lead is slipping fast. Ditto for the Marlins and the NL Wildcard. Yes, a lot has changed in the last week. That includes two new teams in the playoff picture for the NL from last week. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 8

After another week, there’s plenty to discuss. The best record in MLB has switched hands again, and there are two new division leaders. Except for the Indians, no one is leading their division by more than 2.5 games. Six teams have gotten to 30 wins, and three of them are in the NL East, which [...]

Another week gone, and the Rays have finally faltered out of the division lead. For a brief moment, the Red Sox actually led the division, but then they collapsed against the Cubs. Cleveland’s still in firm command of the AL, while Philadelphia maintains a delicate lead in the NL. The Giants have built a comfortable [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 6

By ⋅ May 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s about time Boston made it to .500. And it only took 40 games. Plenty has changed in the past week, including three new division leaders. The Yankees are in real danger of falling even further out of the race, and Adrian Gonzalez has Boston just two games out of the Wildcard hunt. The defending [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 5

By ⋅ May 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Almost 20% of the season is done already, and the Red Sox still have never been to .500. The Pirates have for the first time since Blackbeard roamed the waters, so it’s embarrassing. Yet somehow, they’re only 4.0 games out of both the division and the Wildcard race. Cleveland is still somehow good, and is [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 4

By ⋅ May 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been four weeks, and Boston is still in the division’s cellar, and who would’ve thought the Twins would be MLB’s worst team? After that start, the Rays are back in the conversation for the Wildcard team. The Rangers are starting to slip from their powerful start, and Brandon League has the Mariners just 3.5 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 3

By ⋅ April 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, the standings show little to no signs of stabilizing. Philadelphia is back on top, Detroit and Tampa are making challenges, and here come the Red Sox, among others. Taking down the Reds helped Pujols and the Cardinals take over the division, but Corey Hart is about to return, and the Brewers are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 2

By ⋅ April 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After Week 2, plenty has been shaken up. The Rangers, while still deadly, have fallen out of favor. The Red Sox are on a winning streak, but Carl Crawford is still absolutely useless. The Rockies did quite well for themselves, rocketing up the standings. The Orioles are 6-8 after starting 6-1, and the Angels have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 1

By ⋅ April 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Baseball is finally here, though it’s not going in the manner for which Red Sox fans would have hoped. As can be the case early in the seasons, the standings look like bizarro divisions, with good teams doing terribly and terrible teams doing good. That’s led to some very interesting match-ups. Right now, the Rangers [...]

By ⋅ November 2, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Well, we’re losing our touch picking winners here at SoB, but at least California, a fellow blue state, won out over the Yankees’ next pitcher Cliff Lee. The Giants won the series 4-1, behind Cliff Lee’s first two ever postseason losses in 10 games, now. Congratulations to the Giants; they earned it. Most of use [...]

2010 MLB Playoffs Expert Picks: World Series

By ⋅ October 26, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

The Yankees and Phillies; the ultimate World Series which will bring MLB untold amounts of money. But instead, it’s down to Frisco and Texas. The Giants are coming with two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, and the Rangers are counteri ng with Cliff Lee, who has seven wins and one no-decision in his post-season career. [...]

2010 MLB Playoff Expert Picks: League Championship Series Results

By ⋅ October 24, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

The World Series is here, and the Yankees aren’t in it. If only the Red Sox were. But that’s neither here nor there. The Giants surprised all of us by tearing into Philadelphia’s ace-loaded staff, and the Yankees surprised most of us by being terrible. Our leader Pete padded his lead by getting the Rangers [...]

2010 MLB Playoff Expert Picks: League Championship Series

By ⋅ October 15, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Here we are, at the League Championship Series. Texas won in Tampa three times, the Yankees steamrolled the Twins again, the Phillies took care of business, and the Giants ended Bobby Cox’ career in Atlanta. Here at SoB, we foresee a match-up of #1 vs #W in the World Series (except for the leader, Pete) [...]

2010 MLB Playoffs Expert Picks: Divisional Round Results

By ⋅ October 13, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Well, that was an exciting first round. The year of the pitcher carried right over into the postseason, thanks to Lincecum, Halladay, and Lee. Lincecum and Halladay are set to engage in the biggest battle of Titans since Zeus and Kronos. But on the downside (for Texas, at least), Cliff Lee going in Game 5 [...]
