Blue Jays - Dodgers in the World Series…
Dodgers win it all
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 2:56 pm
Another I70 World Series with a different outcome than the last one.
Comment by Gruntled University Employee Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:01 pm
None.
Any team can win one game, any team can win a series.
When the Sox were scuffling at their worst, and the Cards were red-hot, the Sox went down to St. Louis and swept them in four.
Anything can happen, once you get there. The trick is to get there.

Cubs in one!
Comment by unclesam Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:03 pm
The Cubs ended the year on a roll. They have the likely Cy Young winner on the mound, the Rookie of the Year at the plate, and the Manager of the Year in the dugout.
Go Cubs! Bring on the Cardinals next. I love it.
Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:04 pm
The best 3 teams in baseball will be playing each other this week and next. The WS will be anticlimactic.
Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:07 pm
TV execs will be moaning about the lack of ratings now that the Yankees have been eliminated again because apparently baseball only matters when a New York team is involved.
Comment by Skeptic Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:10 pm
47th Ward - The bar is pretty low if the Manager of the Year finishes 3rd in the Division. Matheny is Manager of the year with 100 wins from a team using 3-4 bench and AAA players all year.

Cubs over Bucs tonight. Over Stl in 4. Over the Dodgers in 5. Over the Royals in 5. I know, I’m OVERly optimistic.
Comment by Nick Danger Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:15 pm
I’d love to see the Cubs, but as its noted above, the 3 best ball clubs will be duking it out for a chance to be in the NLCS. The Dodgers can get past the Mets (I think) giving them the easiest path to the NLCS. Pirates/Cubs v. Cards will be brutal for the eventual team that escapes, including the Cards.
The Cubs are being built and are built for multiple playoffs sbd possible championships. To get past the Pirates and Cards, the magic needs to carry on. I hope it does!
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:16 pm
Cubs take Pirates. Fall to STL in the 5th game. STL faces KC in the World Series every one else hates it.
Cubs flip the script next year winning the division and forcing the Cards into the wildcard.
Comment by State Engineer Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:19 pm
Cards. …11 wins for WS #12…it is o.k. are in the DS round…then the Mets…finally KC…TV honchos will slit their wrists,but who cares? Fan Duel has prepaid all the ads anyway.
Comment by Anonin' Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:19 pm
Gee whiz Ben, the Cards won 90 games last year and the Pirates won, what, 88? Heck yeah finishing 3rd will get Maddon manager of the year. And the bar isn’t low. Any first year manager that generates 25 more wins than last year ought to be a strong contender.
Nobody picked the Cardinals to do much this year, except win the division, which they did quite easily too. But c’mon. It’s about exceeding expectations, not meeting them. That’s what post-season hardware is all about. See Andre Dawson’s MVP trophy for more.

If you use the 1908 hours start time for the last time the Cubbies won, 10-7 for the number of years and Back to the Future’s scoreboard, Cubbies all the way. If those things don’t work - wait ’til next year.
Comment by West Side the Best Side Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 3:28 pm
==The bar is pretty low if the Manager of the Year finishes 3rd in the Division==
If divisional standings are that important to you the Cardinals and Cubs had an identical 46-30 record vs the NL Central.
== from a team using 3-4 bench and AAA players all year==
Four of the Cubs starters in tonight’s game were not on the team to begin the year
The Cardinals had a remarkable year, and remain the gold standard. But you can’t acknowledge a +24 game one-year turnaround is worthy of MOY award? Furthermore, most sabermatricians will tell you that the Cardinals win in spite of Matheny’s in-game decisions.

I want the CUBS to beat the Pirates, just to see the media/fan reaction as they once again get their collective hopes and obnoxious behavior going at full speed. Then they will have the Cards punch their lights out as St. Louis moves on to bring yet another World Series trophy back!

=When the Sox were scuffling at their worst, and the Cards were red-hot, the Sox went down to St. Louis and swept them in four.=
Ah Word, are you referring to the Red Sox in the 2004 WS? They were down 0-3 to the Yankees, then reeled off 4 to take the pennant, and then swept St.L. Not sure if that was scuffling.

Comment by Vote Quimby! Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:00 pm
Agree with anon, 3:59. Too many Cards injuries have decimated an already thin offense. Unfortunately.
Cubs/Pirates winner versus the Dodgers, who lose to the Blue Jays.
Comment by LincolnLounger Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:05 pm
The last NL Central team standing will win the NL pennant. The Dodgers (and Kershaw) are snakebit in recent playoffs, so they won’t be in the world series. Gotta go with Toronto to win it all.
Comment by Stooges Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:08 pm
I can’t even begin to predict this one.
I have a bad feeling for the Cubs tonight simply because Pittsburgh has a deeper lineup and sharp bullpen. Their approach to the game could cost them though. They better make their run this year because I don’t think they will be better next year.
Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Cardinals play in the NLDS now that Matheny has fewer guys in the bullpen he can mismanage, and the potential Jays v. KC ALCS.
Comment by Dirty Red Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:08 pm
Vote Quimby——If you play the Cards, you are playing a MASH unit. You should like your chances.
And for you Cub fans saying Maddon will be manager of the year, if he does win, it will be a joke. Matheny wins 100 games with all those guys hurt and Cubs will have ROY, the likely CY winner and virtually no injuries.
Comment by anon Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:10 pm
Blackhawks 4-2. Oh, oops, you wanted that *other* sport.
Comment by Stuff Happens Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:14 pm
What a crazy season. I’m a White Sox fan but am very happy for the Cubs and the Cubs fan base and Chicago. I think Cubs win tonight in a very low scoring game, but after that I don’t think they have the pitching (either starting or relief ) to go very far into October against the best teams in MLB.
I was all in for the Blue Jays to go all the way until Mark Buehrle decided/had to retire. Now, beyond the Cubs I really don’t care.
Comment by Responsa Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:16 pm
I am a lifelong Cubs fan.
I predict there will be at least six Bartman “look alikes” at tonight’s game.
Mercifully, the network won’t show them, but they’ll be there.
Comment by Downstate Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:16 pm
Cleveland Indians in 6. Oh, that’s for 2016.
This year, it’s the Pirates over the Jays in 6.
Comment by Sam Weinberg Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:16 pm
Totally agree with those calling for another I-70 Series.
Cards have won 100 games this year ( in spite of all their injuries - some of which would have eliminated lesser teams, especially at high profile positions ) in the toughest Division in all of MLB. Congrats to both the Cubs and Pirates for having better records than some others still in contention. Both teams have played well against the Cards - not certain who I will be pulling for tomorrow night.
There are few, if any, teams that have a better front office, management and farm system than the Cards. And how many other teams have had over 3.5 million in attendance.
Actually, I am probably hoping for a Cards and Cubs playoff and will predict that the winner will win the NL and the World Series.
Go Cards!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by illini Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:20 pm
The Dodgers are fully healthy. They have a reliable bullpen and the best 1-2 combo in the playoffs. I think they finally pull off a World Series victory, and they will defeat the Jays.
Comment by Team Sleep Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:21 pm
Cards find a way to beat the Blue Jays in five, all while being considered “underdogs” throughout the playoffs with the only 100-win season in the league and home-field advantage through the NLCS.

Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:31 pm
Baseball in general is unpredictable. Who predicted that the Angels would sign Pujols 3 years ago, at the same time as calling up the now best player in the game, sign a high powered pitching staff…and have zero postseason wins to show for it in 3 years. The playoffs are so unpredictable, it’s a crapshoot. The last few years it’s been a lock heading into the playoffs that nobody would get past Kershaw and Grienke…especially in a 5 or 7 game series. 2012 the Nationals were a lock. Then the Cardinals beat them both. Then the Wild Card Giants beat the Cardinals 2 of the last 3 years.
The Blue Jays have an unstoppable offense. The Cardinals have a pitching staff that’s put up numbers not seen in decades. So then obviously it’s going to be neither of those two, or any other unbeatable and hot team. Rangers over Mets?
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:34 pm
Cubs crack under the pressure, look for the Number 9 to once again play a prominent role:
Last championship: 1908
1 + 9 + 0 + 8 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9
Moises Alou number: 18
1 + 8 = 9
Bartman seat: Aisle 4, seat 113:
4 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 9
Comment by Juvenal Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:34 pm

10 + 14 + 3 = 27, 2 + 7 = 9
Comment by Juvenal Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:36 pm
1) I think Wordslinger’s reference to the Sox sweeping the Cards was to the 2004 World Series when the Red SOX swept the 105 win Cardinals.
2) Clearly the Cubs improved a lot this year and clearly Maddon should be a MOY candidate but I don’t think you can say he exceeded expectations. Case in point: http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2015-01-08/cubs-world-series-sporting-news-picks-lester-maddon-bryant

Word said the Sox went down to St. Louis and swept them in four. No reference to 2004, no reference to the Red Sox.
He simply had his facts wrong, wonder if he will admit it.
Comment by anon Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 4:51 pm
Wow, Ben. You mean the 97 win, best 3rd place team in history Cubs are a disappointment? They won 24 more games than last year. Get real. What matheny did with the cards did this year was really good. But most expected a 96-104 win team out of St. Louis. Few, if any, expected a 97 win Cubs team. What Maddon has done with a bunch of rookies this year is nothing short of miraculous.

Royals and Cubs. One my home team (Royals) and the other my adopted team (Cubs). Like Cubs fans, Royal fans have stuck around in losing years, which are many. And sorry to my adopted team Fans, but the Royals take it.
Comment by FormerParatrooper Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 5:04 pm
I didn’t know until very recently that the Cubs were the third best team in baseball this year. I haven’t had the appetite to follow the Cubs (106 years of losing will do that).
Wild card teams can win, so I won’t make a prediction. The Los Angeles Kings very recently won two Stanley Cups being as a wild card. Whoever gets hot can win the World Series.
I stopped being a Cubs fan due to all of the losing (I stopped waiting until next year), but I realize that it’s not fair to blame that on all the new players and manager. Plus, I love when Chicago wins when the city benefits economically. So with that, I say very with the utmost caution and reservation (been burned before): go Cubs.
Comment by Grandson of Man Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 5:09 pm
Carolina - good point, and do I commend the Cubs. But don’t forget about the 30 plus major injuries the Cards have had to deal with this year and what they had to do to win 100 games - leave it to the rookies and the farm system to come through when needed.
You are right on 2 points - the Cards would have won at least 104 if not more ( if everyone remained healthy ) and the Cubs wins and being in contention was not expected at the beginning of the season.
We probably disagree on a few things, but would probably enjoy having a beer together ( or maybe a glass of red wine - right Rich ).

Anon, I admit the mistake I made of saying the Sox swept four, rather than two, in St. Louis.
I don’t know how I couldn’t “admit” that, as you wondered, but I’m sure you could give me some pointers on denying the obvious rather than copping to being wrong.

Joe Buck ( everyone knows him if they follow MLB, NFL and other sports ) is the son of legendary Hall of Fame Broadcaster Jack Buck for the Cardinals was quoted today as saying that the capstone of his broadcasting career would be to broadcast a Cubs World Series. Granted that might only happen once in a hundred years, so I understand his comment.
Yet there was quite an uproar here in Cardinal Nation ( those of us who follow on KMOX ) about those comments. He was right to want to be in the booth calling the game - it would indeed be historic - and I do not fault him for making those comments - but still Go Cards!!!!!!!!!

Holy Toledo,
Chicago v. St. Louis, Cubs-Cards in a meaningful playoff series.
Cubs were spectacular tonight, the double plays? Wow. The Bombs? Majestic.
The pitching? The pitching was artistic, powerful, effective, and downright dominating. That’s “4″ hits. Four. Eleven “K”s, and no pitcher, until Arrieta, had thrown a shutout with 11 strikeouts, ever, in the playoffs. Whew.
So excited for Cubs and Cards fans.
This is exactly like the Bulls facing the Pistons; the Cubs need to beat the Cards in this series to make that next step. CSN they do it?
I never thought this Club would win 97 games. This is House Money, so whatever happens, it’s a bonus.
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 10:55 pm
I could not agree more with you Willy, it was indeed a masterful game and one they well deserved to win.
As I said before - can’t wait for the match up with the Cardinals.
The National League ( especially the Central Division ) is the best in all of MLB. Someone always has to lose —– but
the NL champion ( Cards or Cubs ) will win the World Series. And I am still a lifelong fan of the Cards, but I respect any worthy and deserving opposing team.

Well said. Completely agree, these two teams are the best in all of Baseball right now, just a shame it’s in this next round.
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Oct 7, 15 @ 11:49 pm
When the NL Central has the three best teams in ALL of Baseball this was bound to happen. Granted there are many other capable and potentially competitive teams still in contention they can not match what we are seeing and have been following since day one. Unfortunately,at this point, there are still going to be winners and losers. It is unfortunate that the three best teams have to compete against each other.

Before people start declaring the Cards and Cubs are the 2 best teams out there, Toronto and LA are very, very good. LA has the best 1-2 pitchers and Toronto has an incredible lineup.
Cards are too banged up.
