Make some predictions!!!. Who will escape and who will be upset???

[Renner]

It's not much of an upset, but I like the chances of the 1999 Red Sox. This is my 3rd straight round sitting out...getting anxious. Not sure why I should...my teams are 1-3 so far !!

[metsgeek]

I think the 2003 Cubs will pull off the upset. The '81 Reds seems seeded too high.

[jf7623]

if the Cubs do win for me it will be because of their pitching staff

[theasfl]

Another 1 seed for me, now I just hope they dont get upset...I could also see the Cubs winning. Prior and Wood'll get 3 starts each, if they win all 3 theyre 4 wins away, throw in Zambrano and some luck and they got the series.

[Dark Horse]

Uggh the 79 O's and 76 Tigers could get ugly. Oh well! Go Fidrych! Go Staub! Go Leflore!

i'm sure this has been covered before, but is the DH being used? And how big are the rotations? 3 man? 4 man? 5 man?

[Dark Horse]

And i'll be rooting for the 92 Twins. And that 95 Indians team is awesome. If they could all be brought in from their prime they would be an all star team.
