UB's Entry
In the grand tradition of ‘the playoffs are a crapshoot,’ I have picked every series by flipping a coin for each game (a Maryland quarter, to be precise). Heads is a win for the home team, tails a win for the road. Results -
DS:
Angels over BoSox / 5 games
White Sox over Rays / 3 games (!)
Cubs over Dodgers / 4 games
Brewers over Phillies / 4 games
CS:
Angels over White Sox / 5 games
Cubs over Brewers / 6 games
WS:
Angels over Cubs / 7 games (after the Cubs take a 3-1 lead, no less).
Total Dodger wins: 1
While this was decidedly unsatisfying in terms of producing unusual results (Angels-Cubs WS, that’s a rarity), there were far more ‘road’ wins than I actually expect to happen.
We’ll see.

What do you think got us INTO this mess?

Glad you and Wrongy made it
for a while it was all new registers. I like how Andrew has yet to weigh in.
Didn’t you tell me that we had no chance in hell a month ago and now you are picking them to win the World Series? I never took you for a homer.

Make your picks again. I deleted the post that had the mistake in it but it took out the sub message you had posted.
