2011 MLB Playoff Brackets

67 Comments

i was daydreaming and had a fun idea: MLB playoff brackets, anyone?

how about this: predict the winner of each series, and win the points. double points if you correctly guess the amount of wins for both winning and losing team.

ALDS/NLDS 1 pt. (best of 5)
ALCS/NLCS 3 pts.
world series 5 pts.

ALDS
DET v. NYY (1)
TB v. TEX (2)

NLDS
STL v. PHI (1)
ARI v. MIL (2)

whoever has the most points wins. pretty simple, huh?

if anyone has any suggestions to tweek the rules, let me know. otherwise, post your guesses below. i'll compile them on a spreadsheet and make it available to everyone.

copy and paste the below part:

ALDS(1):
ALDS(2):
NLDS(1):
NLDS(2):
ALCS:
NLCS:
World Series:

DEADLINE: friday, 30 september 2011 3:00PM CT

Nirvana – Lithium

Video 1 Comment

get ready to feel old: nevermind came out 20 years ago tomorrow. oy. anyway, here's one of the great moments in rock n' roll, and certainly one of the last great moments on the MTV. from said network's music video awards, rape me lithium.

Urge Overkill – Positive Bleeding

Video 3 Comments

many thanks to DK for a great week. please forgive me for jumping on his coattails and also playing a band with 2+ established singers. chicago based urge overkill should have received a lot more love than they did, but, alas, it was not to be. nash and the king traded off vocal duties about 50/50, but it's nash taking the mic on this track.

please ignore the team rocket-esque t-shirts; they really were one of the best dressed bands in the business. also, nash, while being one of the ugliest men in rock 'n' roll, had one of the best voices in my opinion, and some nice chops besides.
