Default Re: Predictions for the rest of the year

You may call me insane, but here are my predictions:

AL East: Boston edges Baltimore
AL Central: Minnesota pulls away at the end, ChiSox play sub .500 ball the rest of the way.
AL West: Texas wins the division with no more than 83-87 wins.
Wild Card: ChiSox collapse leaves Baltimore with the WC. Yankees make a late run but fall short as well.

NL East:
Washington finishes in last place. Coin flipping tournament determines the rest of the division standings.
NL Central:
That team from st. louis.
NL West:
Padres, with <88 wins.

Wild Card:
Cubs or the 2nd place team from the coin flippers.

No team from either West division wins 88 games. No team in baseball wins 100 games (Cards come closest, at 98). Derrek Lee does not win the NL MVP. Ozzie Guillen does not win AL Manager of the Year, and further, upon reviewing his pathetic career, is banned from managing, coaching, watching, or talking about baseball for the rest of his life. Or better yet, he is hired to replace Joe Torre and transforms the Yankees into a "small ball" team with Tony Womack leading off and stealing 100 bases in 175 tries.

No. But when he steals 2nd he'll try for 3rd, so he only needs to get on base 110 times or so.

makes sense. however, he may not have the chance. cano will probably bat second and will probably have 59 homers.

AL East- Yankees
AL Central- Chicago
AL West- Angels

WC- Boston and Baltimore fight for it, close to call but I say boston

NL East- who knows. whoever wins isn't going anywhere in the playoffs though. probably marlins
NL Central- Cardinals
NL West- Padres

WC- don't know.


AL MVP- Arod
AL Cy- Johan

NL MVP- derrek lee
NL Cy- dunno


tbach, you actually have baltimore winning the series? and chicago winning the wc? what? ok, maybe the baltimore call isn't that bad but chicago? come one now. wood and prior are injured, no clue if theyll be back and their bullpen is awful, and they have 3 good hitters tops.

Prior will be back soon and then they will have a good staff. Dempster has been a solid closer so far. Their hitting is very good. The NL sucks too.

Jeromy Burnitz is a very solid hitter, comparable at the plate to Andruw Jones.

Michael Barrett has also been one of the best catchers so far this year.
