Im looking forward to this for the first time in about 15 years.
I think the National League is gonna finally do it.

I predict a lengthy rain delay and a National League victory. Unlike the Cubs, they've gotta win sometime.
I'd like to see two innings each for Lincecum, Haren, Santana, and Johnson... but that won't happen. If Marquis gets in the game, I would like to see him get knocked around just for old times sake.

They'll win, again. |

Throw in Billingsley, Santana, Cain, and Josh Johnson and I'll take my chances.

| NL Closers are:
K-Rod
Heath Bell - Best RP in the game this year
Cordero - 1 something ERA
I'd call it a push... | |

since 2001... 4 world series a piece per league
and heath bell/cordero are solid.. plus broxton but he's out
but nathan, papelbon and rivera aren't too bad either.
i'd like to see these two teams in a 7 game series. not holding anything back. | |

| As they said on Mike and Mike this morning, the AL has far more HOF'ers than the NL which are very young bunch. I'm picking the AL regardless of the pitching staff the National League will put on the mound.
