    MLB Who advances to the World Series?

    Who do you got advancing to the World Series and in how many games? No poll this time. Just put down who you got.

    I got the Rangers in six. I think Hamilton shook off some rust in the last series and is getting healthier. Plus after seeing how fundamentally sound and aggressive they were in Game 5 of the ALDS, this team just looks like they're on one of those runs.

    I have the Giants in seven in one of the all-time best pitched series we have ever seen. It should be a lot closer than all the media members are saying it will be. I know the Phillies offense is superior but the Giants can get hot every now and then too. Giants split against the Phillies in the regular season so I think they can overcome.

    Rangers vs Giants might not be sexy and we will be forced to hear ESPN ***** and moan about how the ratings are going to suck instead of what it is intriguing about the series but its what I honestly think it will be. **** ESPN! They hate baseball anyway!

    Rangers because I never root for the Yankees

    Phillies because I'm still bitter

    This makes me root for the Rangers in the WS because the Phillies have won it recently and I hate dynasties.

    Giants World Series Champions.

    I feel like I've been served a plate of dog excrement this god damn season, and now the chef just remembered to top it off with a wad of shit cream.

    Per npbtracker: So, with Saito/Kawakami's Braves eliminated, 8 year streak of at least one Japanese player making World Series appearance since '02, ended.

    World Series just won't the same without the likes of So Taguchi.

    lol

    Phillies/Yankees in the series. As much as I want to see the Rangers advance, I just don't think it happens.

    Re: Who advances to the World Series?

    I'm not sure who will advance. Any of the teams could win the series, given the right breaks. If Josh Hamilton is out of his funk, the Rangers can take the Yankees. If Pablo Sandoval gets back to his "Kung Foo Panda" ways, the Giants can beat the Phillies. The favorites are likely the Yankees and Phillies, but who knows?

    Sandoval is likely to see more of the bench. His defense is atrocious and his offense is down right ugly.

    Had to pull my prediction off Sisyphus' profile. Phillies and Yankees it is.

    God damn Phillies. Hit like Murderer's Row against the Dodgers, look like Murdered Row against the Giants. Bullshit.

    I'm resigned to possibly seeing Giants-Rangers. Bengie Molina against the team that dumped him. That's at least a semi-compelling story, right?
