On the eve of the second round of the MLB playoffs, we decided that we would grow up a little bit by putting away the magic eight ball (sorry little buddy) and stepping up our game a bit. The result? A TLFC exclusive! A one-on-one interview with famed prognosticator and French apothecary Michel de Nostredame aka Nostradamus to get his predictions about the Phils/Dodgers and Yanks/Halos series AND other random tidbits.TLFC: Nostradamus--welcome to the Ted Lilly Fan Club loft--happy to have you here.
N: Thanks--i just flew in from the year 1566 and boy are my arms tired! Yuck yuck yuck.
TLFC: Ummmm---okay. Anyway, let's start off with the New York Yankees match-up with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. What are your thoughts on the series?
N: I see that the young lion will overcome the older one,On the field of combat in a single battle;He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.
TLFC: It sounds like you're picking up the upstart Angles to beat the more veteran-laden Yankees?
N: Yep---Kazmir is sick, defense is gold glove-friendly and the Yanks move to a three-man rotation in seven game series is most unwise--like that Nazi picking the wrong chalice in "Last Crusade".
TLFC: How about the Phils/Dodgers?
N: An Emperor shall be born near Italy. Who shall cost the Empire dear, They shall say, with what people he keeps company He shall be found less a Prince than a butcher.
TLFC: Are you talking about Tommy LaSorda, Special Advisor to the GM of the Dodgers? Pretty sure that he was actually born in Pennsylvania.
N: Mark my words heathen---this emperor thou dost embrace nutrisystem in jest. He shall mark the downfall of the empire.
TLFC: Okay--settle down, you're clearly picking the Phils. What else?
N: I'm getting another vision, another prophecy: He shall come to tyrannize the land. He shall raise up a hatred that had long been dormant.
TLFC: Any idea what this means?
N: Not sure--this happens a lot when I don't take my meds but, if I had to guess, I'd say that it probably has to do w/ John Cusack's new movie, 2012. Guy had so much promise but has really gone off the deep end into bad movie territory. I mean, did you see Ice Harvest or Must Love Dogs? Ugh---I'd take a 1000 years in hell if it meant I didn't have to see a Seredipity II.
TLFC: This is clearly getting weird. Any last thoughts? We need to, ummmmm, errgggghhh, go someplace other than here.
N: Yes--final thought---from the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols; Before and after war reigns.
TLFC: Joe Buck? Is he and his terrible announcing the King of Terror? Wow...
N: Be afraid, be very afraid...

Wow.....laughing out loud over here. Thanks TLFC for the giggle on an otherwise dreary Friday here in the STL...
PS-TED LILLY RULES!
If we know you KD (and we think we do), TLFC knows that you of all people would hate the idea of a Serendipity II.
As for last point, we agree--Ted Lilly does, in fact, rule. Now, we need to keep our eyes peeled to Game 2 of World Series when, hopefully, he'll be announced as Roberto Clemente Award winner.
If not--we start burning couches.
TL had BETTER win, if not, I have 2 couches I can donate to the cause. Name the time and place, TLFC.
