Chris and I are the only ones to pick LAD over STL and Mark is the only one to pick MIN over NYY. Other than that it’s a mixed bag except for World Series picks. People love the Yankees.

LAD over STL. No Doubt. How can only one person pick Minny? They finished the season looking pretty darn good. Ugh, I hate the Yankees. I hope CC falls flat like he did to the Brewers last season.

Even before last night’s game that was laughable!

Dave — nobody else picked minnesota because their best pitcher may not even pitch in the series, the yankees are way better and have been rested for a while now.

So A-Rod has never proven anything in the postseason and he’s being selected by some as the MVP?
Niiiiice…..

A-Rod being selected by some? Or just crazy Monty…

By your logic Rene, you chose CC Sabathia because of his great track record in the postseason?

Yanks over Dodgers with Jeter as MVP.

HA! Looks like both A-Rod and CC put the past behind them! CC on the yanks is totally different though…

Nice work, Monty.
It’s unreal the crap A-Rod took for sucking in the post season and now ESPN is calling him the new Mr. October. Wow.
