Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

So you predict us to beat the Phillies (a big time world series contender) on luck? Besides, as you just said, Boston won the series on luck after being down 3-0. They did also beat the Cardinals in the world series, so luck does happen, but it can happen to any team, regardless how good they are.
Sorry bro, but I am missing your point on this one.
Like South said you can make it to the LCS on luck and besides looking at the Rockies in 2007 look at Boston in 2004 granted we didn't make it to the LCS on luck but we did make it to the World Series on luck.
So being ok during the regular season gets you to the postseason and who you play gets you to the World Series.

Ok team? You gotta be great to be in the NLCS. Plus, in your prediction, you had us beating the Phillies in the NLDS. So we're just ok?

You "can" make it to an LCS on "luck". Rockies fans do not want to hear it, but you had a ton of luck on your side in 07. The Brewers had to win the last game of the season for you to have to force a one game playoff. Holiday's face first slide into home. Yes, it took a good team to capitalize on that luck, but you cannot. Ignore it.
Twins and Rockies are ok teams at best with good players on their rosters and they'll have to go through some amazing teams to get to the promise land ... I won't say it won't happen cause anything can happen I just highly doubt it

I agree with #1snake for teams to make it, is along shot. The Rox have to go through Philly (or a team that beats them), the Cards, Reds and Giants. The Twins have to face My Sox, the Yanks, and Rangers. So it is a long shot at best.
Im still waiting for my first taste of Lords Stanley's Cup with my Hometown San Jose Sharks !!!
But yeah the pure Emotion that comes out of true fans when they're team wins it all is amazing I get choked up when I talk about Game 4 of the ALCS in 2004 and Of the World Series in 2004 and 2007 was so special I can't wait for 2011 and for the Sox to hoist the trophy for an EIGHTH time
Twins and Rockies are ok teams at best with good players on their rosters and they'll have to go through some amazing teams to get to the promise land ... I won't say it won't happen cause anything can happen I just highly doubt it
NL West : San Francisco. Not the most powerful lineup but they have amazing pitching and as we've seen Pitching is what wins
NL Central: Cincinnati Reds. I think they are for real they have good pitching and a good line up Votto and Bruce are still young to lead this team for years
NL East: Philadelphia Phillies. Best team in the National League hitting fielding and of course pitching i think their only weak spot is their Closer
NL Wild Card: Colorado Rockies. I think they will finish a game or two out of first behind San Francisco and will make it to the NLCS against the Giants
AL West : Texas Rangers. Good team in a weak division biggest threat ... Oakland
AL Central : Minnesota Twins. Good pitching and a decent lineup and anyline up with Joe Mauer is pretty good
AL East : Boston Red Sox. anyone shocked here ?
AL Wild Card : Oakland Athletics. The Yankees need pitching and they aren't going to get Lariano From Minnestoa and theres really no free agent arms left the Rays suck and the Angels won't catch Oakland or Texas
So the Brackets look like
San Francisco - 3
Cincinnati - 1
Colorado - 3
Philadelphia - 2
Texas - 2
Minnesota - 3
Oakland - 0
Boston - 3
San Francisco - 4
Colorado -2
Minnesota - 2
Boston -4
San Francisco - 0
Boston - 4
2011 World Series Champions
Boston Red Sox
San Fran's pretty possible. They'll need to prove losing Uribe won't hurt their lineup and Aubery Huff needs to be more consistant. Who else is there in their lineup other than Buster Posey? I like how you have us beating the Phillies tho :thumb:
I doubt the Sox sweep the Giants, but they should win easily. I say Sox in 5 if that happens

NL West: Rockies (IMO, the best all around team in the division)
NL Central: Reds. The Cardinals will be hurt with Wainwright missing the season and Carpenter has injury problems too. I want to see if Grienke can pitch in a hitters park in Milwaukee before I say anything about them.
NL East - Phillies. The Braves will definitely compete, but the Phillies rotation is just too good.
Wild Card - Braves. I expect the Giants to compete, but they did lose a power bat in the offseason (Uribe) and Auriila is old and inconsistent. Hitting helps win in the MLB. (See the Seattle Mariners first before you reply to my comment)
AL West - Rangers. Wouldn't surprise me to see the Athletics win, but Texas is still a very talented team. Even without Cliff Lee.
AL Central - White Sox. Wouldn't surprise me if the Twins won, but IMO, the Sox are better overall than the Twins. I'll give the Twins the advantage, hitting wise, but the Sox have a very good lineup too, and IMO, Chicago's pitching rotation is better.
AL East: Red Sox. Gotta acknowledge what they did in the offseason. They have a very talented team. Would surprise me if they DIDN'T win.
AL Wild Card: Yankees. They're still a great team, but great pitching rotations win ballgames and World Series Titles. Other than CC, who do they got?
