2003 Chicago Cubs over 1907 Chicago White Sox
Four games to one
MVP: Kerry Wood (2.81 ERA, 9 K, 1 SH)
 
It is hard to say if it was the 2003 Cubs’ pitching that was dominant or if it was the 1907 White Sox hitting that was so meager. Whatever the case this series was decided by the Chicago pitching staff that threw three shutouts and held the Sox to seven runs for the entire series. The Sox pitched well themselves, led by Ed Walsh who allowed only one run in 18 innings, but it just wasn’t enough; two of the Cub wins were by scores of 1-0.
 
Game one was the best game of the series when Kerry Wood was brilliant taking a no hitter all the way to the 8th inning before an infield hit off his glove broke things up; Wood would allow only one hit but was matched by Walsh until the end when an Alex Gonzalez single in the 11th won the game for the Northsiders. Matt Clement and Carlos Zambrano followed with scoreless gems of their own to clean up this series in five games. There were no hitting stars in this series as not a single man had over three RBI.

1996 Cleveland Indians over 1958 Boston Red Sox
Four games to two
MVP: Omar Vizquel (.500, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 5 SB)
 
This Indians team may be the very best team of all in this section and they did away with a pesky Red Sox team simply because they were better. Charles Nagy threw two complete game as for the most part the Indian starting pitching was very good; in fact the Tribe didn’t use their closer Jose Mesa for the entire series. A grand slam in game three by Jim Thome gave Cleveland a boost in their win and a big hit by the struggling Manny Ramirez in the clincher were both turning points of the series.
 
On an individual basis Kenny Lofton and Omar Vizquel were excellent and combined for 10 stolen bases and a bunch or runs. It was Vizquel especially who stood out as the little man even cracked a homer in his efforts. Still it was the Vizquel glove that makes such a difference to this team. For the Sox the great but older Ted Williams had a pedestrian series hitting only .261, well below his standard. The better team won this series even if they didn’t play their best baseball throughout.

1980 Houston Astros over 2007 Cleveland Indians
Four games to two
MVP: Jose Cruz (.292, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 1 SB)
 
Many thought the 1980 Astros would be the underdog in this series on paper, but anyone who remembers this team wasn’t overly surprised when they overcame the 2007 Indians in six games. Houston won three in a row after being down 2 games to one and in the clinching game at Jacobs field rode the arm of Nolan Ryan who struck out 12 in an 11-2 game six win. Terry Puhl was a strong leadoff man batting .321 and scoring key runs while the emotional leader Jose Cruz did it all including driving in 10. Dave Smith the cool reliever for the Stros had two saves and struck out seven of the nine he got out.
 
For the Indians, their ace CC Sabathia had a very subpar two games allowing 11 runs in his two starts that both ended in loses. Fausto Carmona was even worse with an ERA over 10 and a terrible performance in game six when his team needed it most. The Indians only hit one home run in the series, and their power was especially stymied in the spacious dimensions of the Astrodome. This 1980’s team from Houston with the funny uniforms is a team to keep an eye on.

1977 Kansas City Royals over 1964 Philadelphia Phillies
Four games to three
MVP: Dennis Leonard (2-0, 2.45 ERA, 17 K)
 
When your destiny is to be brokenhearted maybe there is nothing that can change that reality. The 1964 Phillies felt the pain of losing a close, well fought, series by the slimmest of margins and couldn’t  get over the hump once again. A tight game seven was decided in the bottom of the 9th when John Mayberry barely cleared the wall with a series ending walk off home run. The Phillies had a two games to one series lead at one point, but Jim Bunning took three losses in the series and the effort was for naught.
 
The Royals are a 102 win team and found a way to win even with George Brett and Hal McCrae being contained with identical .267 averages. The Royals won every time their ace Dennis Leonard took the mound and they also won two crucial games on the road in Philly. An excellent series that really was up for grabs throughout and came down to a few feet in the final inning of the final game.

I love this thread.  It's good and entertaining stuff.  It reminds me of one thing.  Microleague baseball when I was 14.  I played a mini 24 game season to find out who the best "world season champion was"  The 1968 Tigers went 23-1.  That's when I realized the creater of "Microleague baseball" was a big Tiger fan, and computer generated results are just for entertainment purposes only.

Not to criticize, but with your posts...can you remind us (what round) the games are in? It really is entertaining.

We must be about the same age...I played Microleague then too, and loved it.  Moved on to APBA's computer game once they released that, but Microleague will always be a source of fond memories for me.

Hahaha That is hilarious. Yes I was a huge Microleague baseball fan and had a great time with the 1945 Cubs in that game, man that brings back memories circa 1984.

Thanks for the compliments and following, as for the round of games every series being played right now is preliminary, on page one of this thread is a more detailed understanding. A big part of doing this is I wanted to include some of the good teams of the past, not just the great teams everyone remembers and plays with.

Anyother suggestions just let me know...

1974 Texas Rangers over 1992 Oakland A’s
Four games to two
Preliminary Round
MVP: Toby Harrah (.464, 3 HR, 13 RBI)
 
The hot bats of the Texas Rangers were too much for the Bash Brothers and the Oakland A’s. Texas battered Oakland pitching at a .370 rate with Len Randle and Cesar Tovar combining for 29 hits between them at the top of the order. The Rangers don’t have the famous names on their roster, but had the Athletics on the ropes for all six of the games, punishing such arms as Mike Moore (12.60), Ron Darling (7.71) and Bob Welch (6.75)
 
Fergie Jenkins won both his starts including the clinching game six in Oakland. The Rangers won all three games on the west coast including the opener 14-3. Oakland did get strong performances from Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco who combined for seven home runs, game four was especially nice when the A’s came back to win from seven runs down. The Rangers however pulled the upset in many people’s eyes and gave hope to a franchise who has not seen its share of great teams over its short history.
