Really, Jayson Stark...really? After every article you write about the Phillies, and one of the best books I've ever read about the 2008 Phils, you go and pick the Yankees to win this year? That cuts deep man. I don't think we can be friends anymore. I am glad that most of these people see this series as a long one, except for Rob Neyer. I think he hates the Phillies at this point. He picked the Dodgers to win the NLCS in five, and now he's picking the Yankees in five, too. Neyer also picked the Rays to win in five games last year, so he might be on to something. Just keep picking against the Phils, Rob.
Of course, if you had listened to the group of ESPN "experts," you would be flat out of luck in the National League. Looking at their initial playoff picks, only Howard Bryant, Jerry Crasnick, Eric Karabell, Eric Neel and Gene Wojciechowski picked a Phillies/Yankees World Series, and none of them picked the Phillies to win. This seems to have changed now, as Eric Karabell has switched his pick. Mr. Karabell, you shall be rewarded when the Phillies win. You were the only one on ESPN to stand up. We will remember this.
