Preliminary postseason post

[dr4b]

I have to stop staring at numbers.

I came up with a new random arbitrary metric to try to predict the postseason, like I did last year. It's a different metric than I used last time, though. I don't like what it gives me, but I'm going to post it anyway. I'll run last year's metric tomorrow night and see what it comes up with.

Anyway, it says the following (which surprisingly actually agrees mostly with what damienroc was telling me last night... shame I hadn't run these yet when I talked to him, heh)

ALDS:
Angels beat the Yankees in 4
White Sox beat the Red Sox in 5
NLDS:
Padres beat the Cardinals in 5
Braves beat Houston in 3

ALCS:
Angels beat the White Sox in 5
Padres beat the Braves in 5

WS:
Angels maul the Padres in 5


However, I want to point out that my heart still tells me either the White Sox or Cardinals are taking it all this year.

EDIT (10/4, 4pm): Jake Peavy is out with a broken rib or something. Good-bye, Padres. I'm running new numbers tonight.

Well if things keep going the way they're going for Baltimore I might be able to say "I feel your pain" in a couple more years' time. The last time the O's (then the Browns) had this long a losing season streak was in the 50s, and the only thing that brought them out of that was... moving to another city. *shiver*
