ALCS gets underway today: Seattle @ Toronto
NLCS starts tomorrow: L.A. @ Milwaukee
I'm going with Seattle vs. the Dodgers for all the marbles.

Classless and a shitty move.
I will take Seattle over LA, but wouldn't mind Toronto over LA.

(8,129 posts)The Brewers may also be setting themselves up; they haven't won either the pennant or the WS yet. This could make them look pretty foolish if they don't accomplish either.

(11,851 posts)If I see the Dodos doing that silly hip swaying when they get on base again I'll throw something at my TV. How childish.

(3,391 posts)Both teams play really sound fundamentals
work up pitch counts, put the ball in play, good baserunning, excellent defense. Both are better all around than their opponents for this round.
But these series usually come down to pitching and timely hitting, so anyone can win. Yay playoff baseball!

(1,113 posts)Milwaukee over Seattle, I'd prefer, I suppose. I expect L.A. Dodgers over Toronto.

Put another way, "It's a round ball and a round bat, but ya gotta hit it square.".
