OFFICIAL SULLY BASEBALL POSTSEASON PICKS

 I have to make my post season picks before the games begin.

My preseason picks turned out to be crap. So much for my Angels/Marlins World Series match up.

I made two “Out on a Limb” picks with the Dodgers and Pirates and for about 3/4 of the season I looked like a bloody genius.

Well, here we go.

I am going to pick each round including the Wild Card match ups.
