Great Day

Gorilla: When I arose from my slumber this morning, I was not aware of what would be in store on this chilled autumn Sunday. After returning from a morning with the Lord, I logged on to the world wide web and was greeted with the bubbly news that New York Yankees young prodigal son, Joba Chamberlain, was arrested for a DUI. Thankfully, the pin-striped punk did not harm anyone else in his drunken stupor. Don't drink and drive, fellow Conchords.
As the day trickled onward, another surprise arose when I saw that our friend, Wolf/First Conchord, has finally posted once more. This is good news for Wolf, for Lion and I were talking behind his back about replacing him.
The day of fun concluded as the Boston Red Sox were rendered ineffective offensively and were finally eliminated from the 2008 playoffs. I hate the Red Sox. The end proved to be quite poetic as the Baby Rays looked to one of their own that made the rest of the team look like seasoned veterans. David Price, the first pick of the 2007 draft shut down Boston and got the last four outs of the 2008 ALCS. It was refreshing to see a team built mainly from their own system (Rays 6/9 starters) take down a money-dependent club that was only able to produce three starters in their lineup.
Another stat that you may end up seeing on the Sport Center:
Boston Red Sox Payroll: $133,220,112 Rank-4
Tampa Bay Rays Payroll: $43,422,997 Rank-29 of 30 (numbers from espn.com)
And for the record I want the Phillies to win the World Series.

Gorilla's 2008 MLB Playoff Predictions

Gorilla: It's one of my favorite times of the year. The time when air begins to chill as men become legends, forever forged into the history of baseball.
October=Playoffs

This year's playoffs are sure to be an amazing finale to a great regular season. Here are some things to keep an eye on during the road to the World Series.
-The Tampa Bay Rays' first playoff experience ever
-Chicago Cubs looking to win a championship for the first time in a century
-The Boston Red Sox looking to repeat as champs and win 3 of the past 5 Titles
-Milwaukee Brewers' first time in the playoffs in 26 years

Here is how the first round of Division Series are set up.
ALDS:
Boston Red Sox (95-67) -Wild Card @
Las Angeles Angels of Aneheim (100-62)

Chicago White Sox (89-74) @
Tampa Bay Rays (97-65)

NLDS:
Las Angeles Dodgers (84-78) @
Chicago Cubs (97-64)

Milwaukee Brewers (90-72) Wild Card @
Philadelphia Phillies (92-70)

As always in these situations, plenty of predictions are to be made. Here you go:

Angels Def. Red Sox
BoSox a little dinged up, no Manny, home-field advantage Angels

Rays Def. White Sox
ChiSox a little aged, Joe Maddon keeps the troops focused

Cubs Def. Dodgers
Cubs get solid pitching and hitting, a strong force in these playoffs

Brewers Def. Phillies
Great match-up, two emotionally charged teams, Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia push the Brew Crew forward

Gorilla's Championship Series Prediction

ALCS: Angels Def. Rays
Rays magical season ends at the mercy of one of the most potent line-ups around

NLCS: Brewers Def. Cubs
No Ben Sheets- No World Series, Derek Lee steps up big, epic series of Central Division foes

Gorilla's World Series Prediction
Angels Def. Cubs
Dominant bullpen shuts down the Cubs, Vlad slugs, Cubs pitching fades

That is how I think it will turn out (If not Angels, then Red Sox WS Champs).
What I would like to see is a Brewers vs Rays World Series with the Brewers ending up on top. I belive in Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia.

Let me know what you think will happen.
Enjoy the post season.
