Phillies Prediction

I realized I forgot my Phillies prediction. They're currently tied 3-3 in the ninth with the Braves, whom I also can't stand. Any team that thinks they're too good for Boston is by definition evil.

Anyway, I'm predicting the Phillies finish in 2nd place in the NL East. I'm not sure about the win total. Keep in mind, for my previous predictions to be right, the Mets, Padres and Dodgers all have to have better records than the Phillies. Hmm. I'm going with the Mets winning 95ish. I guess I'm going with Dodgers and Padres tying with somewhere between 88-90 wins and the Dodgers having the tie breaker of head to head record. I'll say Phillies win 85 games and barely miss the playoffs again.

When Jon Scholl joins, I'll give you my Reds prediction. And then when Andy joins, you'll get the Tigers prediction.

Rumor has it...

...Jon Scholl may have given in to joining this blog.

I'll explain my ideas fully on here some day, but for now I'll say I don't care about steroids anymore. I blame MLB more than the players. Let McGwire in the hall of fame. Be happy that we get to see Bonds break the record. Do you really think Barry Bonds is never going to get into the hall of fame? That's laughable. If he doesn't someone will have to start a new committee because the old one has gone whack-o. Yet I bet Bud Selig will be in there. Who's more to blame? When I was eight years old, I knew players were on steroids, but Bud Selig was oblivious or helpless? Please. There have been hundreds of pro basebal players on steroids, but only one saved baseball and only one has over 700 home runs. Those players are McGwire and Bonds.

Happy opening day everyone. I'm gonna buy a month's worth of MLB.TV to watch the first month of the season here on my iBook.
