[EagleFan]

(16) 2013 vs. (1) 1942
2013 with the upset as they swept 1942. Adam Wainwright was named MVP as he was 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00. There wasn't much offense during the series to choose from.

[EagleFan]

Game 1 - 2006 3 1926 2
A 5th inning two run homerun by Scott Rolen gave 2006 a 2-1 lead, they would add another run to take a 3-1 lead into the 9th. A one out double by Jim Bottomley would drive in a run to make it 3-2 but Les Bell would fly out and Rogers Hornsby would ground out to end the game. 2006 leads 1-0.

1926 would take an early 3-1 lead and each team would score one the rest of the way for the 4-2 final. The series is tied 1-1.

1926 jumped out early and never looked back in this one. They put up 16 hits and 10 runs. 1926 leads 2-1.

[EagleFan]

Predictions? Kind of pulling for one of the late 70's early 80's teams. Of course I haven't been right yet.

[EagleFan]

Also, I am thinking of something for the future after I complete this eventual season. Thinking of creating 16 leagues with the seeds of all the teams (all the 1's, all the 2's, etc...) then having a final season with the 16 winners.

[Chas in Cinti]

Pulling for the 80s teams, but I think the one of the most recent teams are going to win... maybe 2011

[EagleFan]

Should get back to this tonight. Thought FOF 9 was going to end up taking up a bunch of my time but 9 is the worst version of the game yet and I requested refund, a complete waste of money. Sad too, I had so much hope for it.

[EagleFan]

Brewers 1st Round

(16) 2007 vs. (1) 1982

[EagleFan]

Brewers Final

(14) 2017 vs. (9) 2008

Game 1 - 2017 5 2008 2
2017 scored 4 runs in the final 3 innings to take what was a 1-1 tie to a 5-2 victory. 2017 leads 1-0.

Game 2 - 2008 11 2017 3
2008 storms back with an 11 run showing to tie the series up 1-1.

Game 3 - 2008 3 2017 2
2008 got a solo homerun from JJ HArdy in the 7th to give them a 3-2 lead and they would maintain that score to take a 2-1 series lead.

Game 4 - 2008 10 2017 3
This game was all 2008 as they scored 2 runs in each of the 1st two innings and never looked back. 2008 leads the series 3-1.

Game 5 - 2017 8 2008 1
2017 stormed back with a big win to get back to 3-2 in the series.

Game 6 - 2017 1 2008 0
A pitchers' duel as 2017 scores one in the top of the 4th and only 1 player would see second from hat point on as each team only managed 4 hits. The series is now tied at 3.

Game 7 - 2017 6 2008 2
2017 completes the comeback with their 3rd straight victory. They trailed 2-0 after the first inning but put 5 runs up in the 5th and never looked back. 2017 wins the series 4-3.

Any predictions for the Rockies? I have no sentimental attachment in this one, this is kind of like vanilla to me.

[Chas in Cinti]

I wouldn't be surprised to see this being the one where one of the lower seeds wins... with the thin air and all...

[EagleFan]

Rockies 1st Round

(16) 1994 vs. (1) 2007
1994 with a big upset in a 5 game series victory. Eric Young was named MVP as he hit .476 with 1 homerun and 6 RBI's and led all players with 10 hits.

(15) 2013 vs. (2) 2009
2009 wins the opening game and 2013 wins the next three to take a 3-1 series lead. 2009 would tie the series with back to back victories and send it to game 7. In game 7 2013 would complete the upset with a 7-1 victory to win the series in 7 games. DJ LeMahieu was named MVP as he hit .385 with 2 RBI's and ties for the most hits with 10.

(14) 2008 vs. (3) 2018
Another 7 game thriller as 2008 continues the upsets with a 7 game series victory. Clint Barmes was named MVP as he hit .346 with 2 homeruns and 8 RBI's. Trevor Story hit .407 with 1 homerun and 5 RBI's in the loss.

(13) 2021 vs. (4) 2017
2017 would break the streak of upsets as they would lose game 1 but win the next 4 for a 5 game series victory. Gerardo Parra was named MVP as he hit .409 with 1 homerun and 4 RBI's and led all players with 9 hits.

(12) 2016 vs. (5) 1995
1995 would win the series in 6 games. Vinny Castilla would be named MVP as he hit .333 with 2 homeruns and 7 RBI's.

(11) 2006 vs. (6) 2010
2010 would win the first 3 but 2006 would cause a little concern with 2 victories to get it to 3-2 but 2010 would win game 6 for the 4-2 series victory. Troy Tulowitzki was named MVP as he hit .300 with 1 homerun and 6 RBI's. The series would be surprisingly low scoring with 3 of the games seeing 3 or fewer runs scored.

(10) 1998 vs. (7) 1996
After 1996 wins the opening game 1998 would go on a streak of 4 straight for a 5 game series victory in a series that saw an average of over 17 runs scored per game. Vinny Castilla was named MVP as he hit .429 with 5 homeruns and 10 RBI's.

(9) 2000 vs. (8) 1997
In the only 1st round series with both teams having winning records 1997 would win in 6 games with plenty of runs scored in those games. Vinny Castilla was named MVP as he hit .417 with 1 homerun and 5 RBI's.

[EagleFan]

Rockies Quarterfinals

(16) 1994 vs. (4) 2017
1994 would complete the upset easily in 5 games. Dante Bichette would be named MVP as he hit .619 with 3 homeruns and 8 RBI's and led all players with 13 hits.

(15) 2013 vs. (5) 1995
The home team would win every game as 1995 wins the series in 7 games, with game 7 a very anticlimactic 11-0 score. Vinny Castilla was named MVP as he hit .423 with 6 RBI's. Carlos Gonzalez had an incredible series in the loss as he hit .630 with 2 homeruns and 9 RBI's and led all players with 17 hits.

(14) 2008 vs. (6) 2010
2010 would win easily in 5 games. Troy Tulowitzki was named MVP as he hit .312 with 2 homeruns and 5 RBI's.

(10) 1998 vs. (8) 1997
1997 would win the series in 5 games with only one of the games being close. Larry Walker was named MVP as he hit .444 with 3 homeruns and 6 RBI's. No idea how Ellis Burkes wasn't named MVP as he hit .412 with 3 homeruns and 12 RBI's.

[EagleFan]

Rockies Semifinals

(16) 1994 vs. (5) 1995
1995 took a 3-1 series lead but 1994 would win the next two to force game 7. In game 7 1994's magic would run out as 1995 wins 7-4 to eliminate the last remaining team with a losing record. Andres Galarraga was named MVP as he hit .400 with 2 homeruns and 6 RBI's.

(8) 1997 vs. (6) 2010
2010 would win a back and forth 7 game series, but only back and forth in terms of games as only one game was decided by less than 4 runs. Melvin Mora was named MVP as he hit .484 with 2 homeruns and 7 RBI's. Vinny Castilla had a great series in the loss as he hit .433 with 4 homeruns and 14 RBI's.

Rockies Finals

(6) 2010 vs. (5) 1995
Another mistake on my part losing the updated post by clicking back. 1995 won the series in 6 games and I know Dante Bichette was named MVP but forget his exact stats (he hit over 400 with a couple homeruns and decent number of RBI's but not a crazy number to remember).

Predictions on the Giants? I'm thinking 1954 or one of the early 19-teens teams.

[EagleFan]

Giants 1st Round

(16) 1962 vs. (1) 1905
What a series this was. It started with a win by 1962, then they alternated wins through the first 6 games to send the series to a game 7. Of those 6 games only 1 games was decided by more than 1 run. Game 7 would see the pattern change as 1905 would win 5-1 to win the series in seven games. Dan McGann was named MVP as he hit .387 with 4 RBI's and led all players with 12 hits. Christy Mathewson was 2-1 with an ERA of 1.00. Willie McCovey hit .286 with 4 homeruns and 6 RBI's in the loss.

(15) 1951 vs. (2) 1954
Another 7 game series as 1951 pulls off the upset with an 8-5 game 7 victory. Don Mueller was named MVP as he hit .379 with 1 homerun and 7 RBI's. Willie Mays hit .452 with 3 homeruns and 4 RBI's in the loss.

(14) 1937 vs. (3) 1921
1921 wins the series in 6 games in another close series with 4 of the 6 games being 1 run games. Earl Smith was named MVP as he hit .385 with 3 homeruns and 6 RBI's. Wally Berger hit .429 with 2 homeruns and 5 RBI's in the loss.

(13) 1917 vs. (4) 1922
