JUSTIN: A couple of months ago I predicted the Cubs, Brewers, Diamondbacks and Phillies would make the playoffs. I was off in the NL West thanks to the Dodgers second half surge and the fact that they picked up Manny Ramirez. I also predicted another choke job by the Mets and while there’s no use rubbing salt in HogWild’s wounds, that makes two years in a row that that the Mets have fallen apart in the last month of the season. Ouch.
HOG: Great job with the predictions! 3 out of 4 is really great! And yes, the Mets fell apart like a hot college girl who hits 30 after 15 years of smoking, drinking, and making out with boys’ crotches in Burger King bathrooms.
The Mets are the aging sluts of the National League. They tease and tease and tease, but in the end, they give it up pretty easily. Then you feel all disgusted for having been with them all year.
JUSTIN: In the American League, I predicted that the Red Sox, Rays, Angels and White Sox would make the playoffs taking my predictions to 7 out of 8. Don’t look now folks but it seems that I’ve got my mojo back when it comes to picking winners! So with that in mind here is how the World Series will turn out...
HOG: My picks didn’t go as well. I picked that the NL Central winner would be The British Bulldogs. Turns out that tag team wrestlers from the 80’s don’t play baseball that well.
JUSTIN: Round One-
Angels vs. Red Sox - If there’s one thing that we’ve learned in Baseball it’s that the Rangers have the worst pitching in the league, the Mets will choke in the final month and the Angels just can’t beat the Sox in the playoffs! Red Sox in 4.
HOG: I say the Angels will win. In fact, I’m predicting an all Los Angeles World Series! It will be the biggest fight in L.A. since Lindsey Lohan slapped Paris Hilton in the v@gina.
JUSTIN:
Rays vs. White Sox - The Rays were a feel good story this year going from worst to first in the NL East but this is where the fairy tale will end. The White Sox are a determined group of veterans and I’m sticking with my prediction that they will advance. White Sox in 5.
HOG: I’m rooting for the White Sox because I want Ken Griffey, Jr. to get into the World Series before he retires to a life of fishing or hunting or selling used cars or whatever the hell it is baseball players do once they quit. But the Rays are for real. They are the best thing to happen to the Tampa area since — well, has anything ever happened in Tampa?
JUSTIN:
Cubs vs. Dodgers - The Dodgers stole game one but there’s no way that they’re going to beat Zambrano and Harden twice. Look for the Cubs to take the next two and then finish off the Dodgers at home in 5!
HOG: Dodgers upset the Cubs! Manny Ramirez puts up Little League numbers by batting .625 with 12 home runs and then pitches the last game, striking out the side. After the victory, Joe Torre looks into the TV camera and flips a Bronx cheer to the Steinbrenner family.
JUSTIN:
Brewers vs. Phillies - The Brewers finished up the season in a wild run that took them to their first ever wild card berth. Enjoy the party and grab a beer to go with your cheese curds Milwaukee because the Packers suck and the Brew Crew are getting bounced by the Phillies in the first round. Philly in 4.
HOG: I agree. Although I hate the Phillies, they will advance before getting crushed in the next round. Which is good because then Philly fans can go back to what they do best... Booing.
JUSTIN:
Second Round
Sox vs. Sox - I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the Sox are going to win this one. Ha ha. Anyway while the Red Sox clearly have the superior team I’ve got a gut feeling that tells me that the White Sox steal this series in a shocker! White Sox in 6
HOG: Neither team gets that far. It’s Rays vs. the Angels. Angels win in the first Playoff series in the history of men’s sports where one team’s logo has sunshine in it and the other team’s logo has a cute little halo. Damn, I miss the time of real manly teams like the Bullets, Colt .45’s, and of course the Toledo Bareback Gator Wrestlin’ Gunslingers.
JUSTIN:
Phillies vs. Cubs - It’s the Cubs year just deal with it, plus we all know that Philly will never ever win a championship so I’m calling this one done before it even begins. Cubs in 6, because that’s how long it will take Harden and Zambrano to finish off the Phillies!
HOG: This round will be the Dodgers vs. the Phillies. The surprising Dodgers will crush the Phillies leaving Jimmy Rollins to trash-talk to no one but the big jug of Gatorade.
JIMMY ROLLINS: Gatorade, you suck! We’re going to crush you! I’m gonna take you deep!
BIG JUG OF GATORADE: ______
JIMMY ROLLINS: Yeah, that’s right! You’d BETTER not say anything!
BIG JUG OF GATORADE: ______
JIMMY ROLLINS: Oh, so you’re ignoring me?! C’mon Big Jug of Gatorade! Give me your best shot! C’mon! That’s it! I’m gonna chug you all down! <GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE! CHOKE! GAG!>
JIMMY ROLLINS: All right, Big Jug of Gatorade! You may have got me THIS time, but just wait 'til next year!
JUSTIN:
World Series
Look out Chi-town because it looks like the first ever battle for the Windy City will take place in October! As gritty as the White Sox are I’m going out on the limb and saying that the Cubs will reverse the Curse and win their first championship since…a long freaking time ago. Go Cubs!
HOG: The real battle of the Windy City is going on here in New York where Mets and Yankees fans are both flapping their gums non-stop about how their teams stink!
In the meantime, I'll be rooting for the Toledo Bareback Gator Wrestlin’ Gunslingers!
