More Shames-o-Matic Predictions

Taking Brian's advice I'm going to blog today about the playoff race in baseball with some outrageous predictions that only I could possibly come up with.

1. The Yankees will go into Boston with a 1 game lead and then promptly lose 2 out of 3 to force a one game playoff. The pitching matchup will be Shawn Chacon versus Bronson Arroyo and the Yankees will win on the strength of a pinch hit extra inning HR by former Red Sox Mark Bellhorn as Bellhorn joins Bucky, Babe, and Boone on the list of Boston Red Sox killers with the letter B in their name.

2. The San Diego Padres, the worst first place team in baseball history, will shock the world and knock off the St. Louis Cardinals in the first round of the playoffs.

3. The Astros-Braves series will go five games and be remembered as the greatest Divisional Series of all time. The Braves will find a way to win.

4. White Sox - Angels in the ALCS will lead to dismal ratings and Fox's Rupert Murdoch will commit suicide. Afterwards MLB announces that Yankees-Red Sox have already clinched playoff spots for next year to ensure that there won't be a repeat of this year where one didn't make it in.

5. The Braves finaly win the World Series over the Angels. Afterwards the entire team retires so that they can go out on top.

As always, check back tomorrow for outrageous predictions for the fourth week in the NFL
