NL:Brewers beat Braves

Phillies beat Giants

Brewers beat Phillies

AL: Rangers beat Yankees

Red Sox beat Tigers

I'll start with the

MLB Playoffs-

NL:Brewers beat Braves

Phillies beat Giants

Brewers beat Phillies

AL: Rangers beat Yankees

Red Sox beat Tigers

Red Sox beat Rangers

World Series: Red Sox beat Brewers.

Mine are identical at this point, but I have the D-Backs winning the West and the Indians winning the Central.

This isn't really a strong prediction, but what the hell. I'll predict that the O's will lose 100 games this season.

If they do, believe it or not, it will be the first 100-game-loss season of this 13-season losing streak.

Alrighty, I'll throw my picks in:

MLB Postseason:

ALDS

Texas over NY Yankees

Boston over Cleveland

NLDS

Milwaukee over Atlanta

Philadelphia over Arizona

ALCS

Texas over Boston

NLCS

Milwaukee over Philadelphia

2011 World Series

Texas over Milwaukee

Looking back at my pre-season picks, my AL Champ remains the same (Texas), whereas my NL Champ has changed from Colorado to Milwaukee. Colorado's been pretty dissapointing this year, as I thought this would be a breakout year for them. And at the time, I certainly didn't foresee Jimenez getting traded.

The way I see it, Philly isn't the only dangerous team in the National League. Arizona I think will make it, but I don't see them making too much noise in October. It's Philly, Atlanta, and Milwaukee I therefore have my eye on. Right now, I like Milwaukee emerging into the WS and upsetting the Phillies in a close 7-game NLCS. That pick, however, could very well change by playoff time. It's going to be interesting!

I do hope it turns out to be Texas vs. Milwaukee, the TV ratings be damned. I think it'd make for a more interesting and exciting World Series than anyone vs. Philly (whom if they make the WS will steamroll right through it, in my opinion). Atlanta would also make for an exciting NL Champ.

[Jahgee]

CFB - Boise will lose 3 games once Kellen Moore gets injured vs. Georgia and is out for the year

NFL - Jets will make the AFC Championship, only to lose to the Chargers. Chargers then lose SBXLVI to the Buccaneers

NBA - Lockout cancels next season

NFL Draft 2012 - Andrew Luck will fall out of the Top 5

Staying on topic:

MLB - An NL team beats an AL team for the title.

NFL - The AFC West will be the weakest division this season.

MLS - Neither the Los Angeles Galaxy or Red Bull New York make it to the MLS Cup Final - again.

NHL - The Caps fall short of the Stanley Cup Final - again.
