Well, when the Mets played the Yankees I thought it was pretty boring.

If the Dodgers have to play the Cubs I think the Dodgers could make things interesting. Derek Lowe vs Ryan Dempster in game 1 would be one hell of a showdown. Ryan had the better year here but the way Lowe has been pitching as of late I think the Dodgers stay in this one til at least the late innings and then you never know what might happen.

I honestly think it will be either the Cubs or the Dodgers in the WS against the Red Sox or Angels. Going with the Cubs though for it all. They just have an awesome lineup and very good pitching. They will be a hard team to beat come playoff time.

Dodgers and Cubs both have very good pitching, but I would take the Cubs starters over the Dodgers and the Dodgers BP is decent, but they have some injuries I believe in Saito and Kuo. The cubs BP is healthy and Marmol is a beast!

Never know though, Cubs have the worse luck in the league.

I can't really argue with that. Kuroda is very inconsistent away from Dodger Stadium which is why he will probably be the game 3 starter. Some of the Dodger bullpen has been good as of late. Biemel, Broxton, Proctor and Saito are all decent but have their weaknesses as well.

As always though we can throw away all the stats from the regular season now. They mean nothing at this point. It will depend on who brings their A game. Pitching will be critical. And resistance will be FUTILE.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
