NL Playoffs and World Series

Dodgers-Marlins
The Marlins are just happy to be here. Dontrelle Willis wins the first game and everybody's thinking upset. Then the Dodgers win 3 straight and everybody's thinking the Dodgers will never lose again. Dodgers in 4.

Braves-Cards
This is switch from recent years: the Cards are the struggling veterans and the Braves and the scrappy youngsters. I like the Braves to just be better over the course of 5 games. Braves in 5.

Dodgers-Braves
The Braves will be worn out, the Dodgers will seem like destiny. Dodgers in 6.

Red Sox-Dodgers
The Red Sox will give it away late in game 7 in some unbelievably strange manner and self-doubt will creep back into the New England psyche forever (the Bruins move San Antonio, the Celtics convince Rick Pitino to 'finish what he started', Tom Brady never impregnates another super-model, Mitt Romney converts to Judaism, Ben Affleck and J-Lo decide to get back together, etc). Nomar rides around Dodger stadium on a horse, Derek Lowe makes lewd gestures, Grady Little drinks champagne from the skull of Babe Ruth--sounds pretty cool, don't it? Shit, I wish I liked the Dodgers! Dodgers in 7.

MVP:
AL, Manny Ramirez
NL, Adam Dunn

Cy Young:
AL, Jeremy Bonderman
NL, Jason Schmidt
