Like 1 percent

Answer 3

I would say the Dodgers have a great chance of playing in october. Especially sence they have Manny now.

Answer 4

i dont think my favourite team is making october baseball for another 30-40 years, cuz the ones right now are idiots, who dont care about winning....

Answer 5

My team has a not so good chance of making it since my team is the Toronto Blue Jays...oh well theres always next year!

And Halladay and Burnett as of Friday were #1 and #2 in Strikeouts!  

Answer 6

well my most local team the rays-100 percent

tigers-70

red sox-90

cubs-100

nats-0

Answer 7

Haha, I dont want to be unoptimistic, but I think our chances are so gloomy to the point where Im soooooo dissappointed that its not realistic anymore. But I hope the padres could prove me wrong of what I said, which they probably wont, but its always good to dream. And plus, we have next year too (:

Answer 8

i'm an angel fan.

i'm pretty sure they have this one in the books

Answer 9

HAHA I don't think the Indians are gonna be stepping up to bat in October.

Answer 10

At the rate they're going they're going to make it!

Answer 11

i think the Rangers will fall about 6 or so games short of the Wild card (and about 20 or so of the division) but be ready for them in October 09!

Answer 12

I think the Marlins will make october.

Answer 13

I don't think the Jays will make it.

Answer 14

We still have 2 months i still have faith in my Yankees

Answer 15

I think the Minnesota Twins will be in the playoffs either as a wild card or they might even win the division. They have an easier schedule than the white sox for the rest of the season and we have them at home for 3 in september i think they will come away with the division personally.

Answer 16

Lets Go Marlins!!! I still believe! :)

Answer 17

Lets see my favorite team is the best team in baseball

the LAA Angles

Answer 18

I think my team will definately be seeing the field in October.

Go Cubbies!

Answer 19

I think the Cubs will make it to the post season for the second year in a row.  They have awesome starts from Ryan Dempster and Ted Lilly.  Carlos Marmol and Kerry Wood do great jobs at the reliever and closer positions, and the pitching is consistent.  They are backed up by great defense from Jim Edmons in center, and Aramis Ramirez at third.  Mike Fontenot has been great in the clutch and Mark Theriot has had great hitting.   If the Cubs don't make the playoffs this year, it will be a cardinal sin.

Answer 20

i think the chances are very good

Answer 21

An excellent chance of winning the World Series.

Angels are the best team in baseball!!

GO HALOS!

Answer 22

I think the Cubs are definitely going to play =D  

Answer 23

I'd say the Cubs have a chance

Answer 24

Since they play in the NL West I think the Dodgers will win the division and probably get swepted in the 1st round

Answer 25

My Tigers have no chance.

Cubs over the Twins in the series

Answer 26

Yankees fan. And I like the team's chances despite the less than stellar play this week vs. Baltimore and the Angels. Still a lot of season left, but I'm not writing them off.

Answer 27

LOL, I'm an Indians fan.  So, I don't think that they'll be playing in October.  My predictions:

AL East   Tampa Bay

AL Central Minnesota

AL West   LAA

NL East    Philly

NL Central   Chicago

NL  West   Arizona

AL card   Boston

NL Card   Milwaukee

I like LAA over the Cubs in the Series.

Answer 28

My favorite team is the San Francisco Giants, so I'd say my guys have no chance.

I can, however, make my own predictions for the playoff picture.

ALDS:

(4) Rays 1

(1) Angels 3

This series is going to be taken down to the wire. The Rays are gonna take game 1 with Kazmir on the mound, and Shields has a strong possibility of winning his start. The Angels will come out on top though, the starters will step up and eat some innings and you know that unbeatable offense will take a toll on the Rays bullpen.

(3) White Sox  2

(2) Red Sox 3

This one is going to be taken down to the wire. Both teams can potentially put on a pretty good offensive show, but the Sox's pitching will be significantly better than that of the ChiWhites.

ALCS

Angels  4

Red Sox 2

The Angels simply can't be stopped, and home field advantage will definitely prove beneficial.

NLDS:

(Wild) Milwaukee   0

(1) Chicago    3

Chicago is going to give it to Milwaukee just like they have been all season. Offense and Stellar starting pitching will show through in the SWEEP of the brew crew

(3) Arizona        3

(2) Philadelphia   1

The Phillies have too much trouble with their starting pitching, and Arizona has Webb and Haren in a one-two punch. The Phillies could take one, but only if Myers is on his game.

NLCS:

Arizona      1

Chicago      4

The only reason I gave Arizona a game here is because I live in an NL West city and they regularly pound my team. You guessed it: The Giants. Cubbies in 5.

World Series

This one goes to Seven, and this time the Angels won't come out the winners. Despite their offensive prowess, good pitching always prevails.

Prediction: Cubbies in 7. Goodbye Billy Goat

Answer 29

I think my Cincinnati Reds have an excellent chance of playing baseball in October...if you count backyard baseball with the kids as "playing in October."  As for the post season, I'm gonna have to go with "no."  It's nice to dream though...
