Season 3 Preview - AL Playoffs

Leon Jackson - Cobbfather Post Gazette w/ special correspondent Shenaynay from the Psychic Friends network

After figuring out that it was FW_Kekionga and his now self-professed savvy managerial wit taking his Sacramento Fighting Cornish Hens to the World Series in the NL. Let's see how the AL pans out!

AL PLAYOFF PREVIEW

AL Play-In Series

3 Fargo Rat Bastids vs. 6 Philadelphia Ploppin’ Penguins

Wow, a ploppie vs. phillyfan matchup right off the bat! We predict the most hotly discussed topic in this series will be ploppie’s sister. As far as the series goes, Philly has tremendous pitching, but Fargo has great pitching, and superior offense. We like Fargo in a close series.

Prediction: Fargo in 5

4 Oakland Bruisers vs. 5 Burlington Huskies

Two potent offensive clubs go head to head here in round one. Burlington has the edge here in pitching, so we like them to take one of the first two games, and then close the series out at home.

Prediction: Burlington in 4

ALDS

1 Florida Shark Waves vs. 5 Burlington Huskies

Two of the best pitching teams in the league going head to head in this ALDS matchup. Both teams have nice offensive talent as well. But in the end, Florida will be just too much for Burlington to handle.

Prediction: Florida in 4

2 Chicago Chokers vs. 3 Fargo Rat Bastids

Hmmm…how appropriate that ploppie be playing a team named the Chokers in the playoffs. The Chicago franchise has gotten to the World Series the past two seasons under two different owners. Now a third looks to advance the team to the World Series. But unfortunately, the third time’s not a charm, as we think Fargo’s pitching prevails in this series.

Prediction: Fargo in 4






ALCS

1 Florida Shark Waves vs. 3 Fargo Rat Bastids

And here we are in the ALCS, and the two teams couldn’t be more evenly matched. Florida is known for it’s pitching, and small ball offense vs. Fargo’s powerful lineup, and equally talented pitching staff. Ploppie is known for playoff flops, while rawdk suffered a heartbreaking ALCS loss last season. Who will prevail and who will face another postseason disappointment in this clash of AL powerhouses?

Prediction: Fargo in 7
