| I don't know much about Green Mill or the Shamrocks, but I'll go with Green Mill.
I expect both the Angels vs Commanding Edge and Cobras vs. Hopkins games to be really close. I'll go with the Angels and Hopkins.
Park all over Tri-City.

| Commanding Edge squeeks one out over the Angels.
Park over Shark, however I believe McDonald is on the mound for the Shark which will make it closer then you think.
Hopkins over the Cobras. Deslauries and Konicek can hit.
Green Mill over the Rocks. Green Mill has both pitching and hitting. The fact it's at McGuire helps.

| Congrats on the 2-0. Really though, those were obvious picks. To get 'em right, just look at the matchups and see if one of the teams is a Riverview or Park National Team. Is the opponent from St Paul or the Skyline? If so, take the Riverview or Park National team EVERY time.
A game like Hopkins (Riverview) vs. Cobra (National) gives you no obvious winner. Nail this game and I tip my hat. Who is the 7'0 pitcher for the Cobra? I saw him warming up in the 9th for the Park National team in the all star game and he was bringing it.

| Hopkins is a good little young club and they would have to be to have beaten EP but they are very young.....they were up 9-0 in game two of their playoffs with EP/up one game to none.............again they were up 9-0 and it was the last inning....here is how inexperieinced Hopkins is.....they run a safety squeeze to get the tenth run!!!!!
Now that is good stuff.....they pull something stupid like that in the tourney and they may have to run to their mom and dad's cars.
Cobras beat Hopkins but that is by no means a given...I give the nod on experience there, yeet Hopkins is so young they don't know any better and will play like they beleive they are the best team in the state every time out.
Other predictions.....Tonka beats whomever they get in their first game. Park shows why they have a damaging line up as they will again post ten, and neutralize Wesley's batting order and base running.
Angles beat Stillwater
Tonka beats whomever in their second game.
Park beats Stillwater or Angles.
Wesley or Hopkins come back through the loosers bracket and face more then likely Cobras.
Park Tonka winners bracket final and it will more then likely be a slug fest with the pitching edge in that type of game going to Park.
Final six teams....Tonka, Park, Wesley, Hopkins, Cobras and Angels

| I saw the Cobras and Angels play earlier in the year and they didn't strike me as anything remarkably better than the majority of the East Side teams. The other four teams on the list I never saw so I can't comment if they are head over heels better or not.

| Filthy....looks like your predictions are pretty solid. At least 3 of the final 6 are going to be from the east side.
