Major League Baseball prognostications

I predicted NLCS: Dodgers in 6. Turned out Phillies in 5. What happened? Phillies relief pitching tightened up, Dodgers relief pitching lost it, but how often do you seen a last-out game winning RBI in a playoff series? 4 times, they said, so that's history for ya.

I predicted ALCS: Yankees in 5. Turned out to be Yankees in 6. Obviously when you combine good pitching with A-Rod actually in gear, Teixeira doing it with bat and glove, and the rest of the 2009 Yankees all contributing, this is another Yankees you-get-what-you-pay-for team, and this time the Yanks fans are actually getting what they paid for.

World Series: Yankees in 6, but with at least two extra-inning games.
