I'm Smarter Than John Kruk & Eric Young Put Together


With the AL/NL Division Series behind us – and with me sporting the only 4-0 first round playoff pickery score in America! – your intrepid Bootleg Guy sets his sights on the Championship Series. So, what'd I say back in March?

ALCS: Red Sox over Indians
NLCS: Mets over Diamondbacks

Get on board my gravy train, gamblers! I'll even bring the biscuits. Aaron's sticking with the Sox (in six) over an impressive Indians squad. Favorite Storyline: Can Grady Sizemore replace Derek Jeter as America's favorite bi-racial ballplayer? Answer: not with hair so knotty and an 1870s freed-slave name like "Grady".

Oh, and thanks again, Tom Glavine, for ruining what would've been an unprecedented run of prognostication on my part. It's the Rockies vs. the D'Backs in the NLCS and me thinks Colorado's clock won't strike midnight any time soon. Rockies in six.

  1. Nice NLCS this year. I suggest combining the two teams and having them face the Red Sox in the World Series. Diamond-Rocks. And when have you seen two teams with that many white guys on them?

    How come Tampa Bay is the only expansion team that can't make the playoffs and disappoint anyone who follows baseball?

    Wang is a #3 starter at best
    Clemens is a warrior
    Jeter is always upset when he doesn't win the World Series
    Phil Hughes was amazing - he pitched 3 whole innings
    Arod is going to opt out of his contract
    Torre deserves better
    Cashman isn't making any decisions now on 2008
    The Yankees are turning to younger players
    Joba has electric stuff

    It's awesome being a Yankee fan
