I think Frink is right on the money with this. The Phillies pitching is just too strong.

You think the Twins will beat the Yankees?? I think Yankees will kill the Twins and then beat the Rays in a close series. Then they will lose to the Phillies. I completely agree with the rest of your picks.

The Yankees have Sabathia and a bunch of suck in the rotation (assuming Hughes doesn't pull it together). They also have to play 3 of 5 in Minny's pitcher friendly park.

Advantage Twins.

Having said that, I'm already in trouble on my Rays prediction.

I'll forgo a prediction because I think we have some fantastic match-ups this year, much stronger than in the past few years. That said; While I can certainly see a Yankees-Phillies World Series, I think it could almost as easily be Rays-Phillies. Speaking strictly as a fan, my preference would be Rangers-Giants.

Crap - I might as well be running for office with an answer like that. ;-)

Sure, Warb.

I live in Texas and occasionally drive to Arlington to watch the Rangers. I'm also a wine drinker\collector so I travel to Napa\San Francisco a couple of times a year and always take in a Giants game or two. In fact, the trips are scheduled to coincide with Giants home stands. Because I follow those two teams more closely than others (after my own, of course), I would like to see them both make it to the series.

I wouldn't count on the Giants getting in, if I were you.

Warb,

If you'll look back a few posts - I'm not.

Baseball is a funny game that way. My Rays possibility took a bath almost as soon as I typed it out.

Elsewhere;

Damn! - Lincecum. What an awesome game. At the start of the game my wife (big baseball fan) commented on how he seemed a touch amped-up. Suffice to say - he settled down. ;-)

Great stuff.

Your Rays? I thought you were an Astros fan, and were routing for the Rangers and the Giants in playoffs???

Tell that to the Giants.

I won't have to, Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt will.

You don't have chance. The Yankees will kill you, and if they don't, the Phillies will.
