LTR Baseball Predictions: 2005 Edition (Belated)
April 20th, 2005I’ll sneak in some baseball predictions, by the way, since I won’t be around later today and don’t want to look too lame by posting them even later in the season:
AL East: Yankees (What, you think they’re really going to slump for long?)
AL Central: Twins (This is a very good team. I don’t think Cleveland has the pitching to stay in the race.)
AL West: Angels (Vlad. Guerrero.)
AL Wildcard: Red Sox (Yawn.)
NL East: Braves (Without a doubt, this is the most exciting division in the NL!)
NL Central: Cardinals (Can’t argue with that lineup.)
NL West: Dodgers (The Giants are a mess and the Padres are still a year or two away.)
NL Wildcard: Marlins (An exciting team to watch, like the Red Sox without the ‘tude. Can Delgado be their David Ortiz?)
AL Penant: Yankees (They won’t let it happen again.)
NL Penant: Marlins (If their pitchers stay healthy, I think they can pull this off again.)World Series: Yankees in 7 games.
I’m just saying. Even if you think they’re evil, don’t you think they’re unstoppable? If you don’t like it, don’t take it up with me. Take it up with the Big Guy. Bud Selig.
AL team to watch in 2006: Twins (A few more years of postseason experience, and youngsters like Santana, Mauer, and Mourneau make this the team of the future; good pitching sets them apart from another very exciting young team, the Rangers.)
NL team to watch in 2006: Padres (As soon as this team adjusts to hitting at Petco, they will win big and give Jake Peavy the run support he needs to win the Cy Young award. Mark my words!)

Are you completely ignoring my 10-4 White Sox? ;)
If the Marlins can have healthy pitchers all year and they stay consistent…wow.

I am completely ignoring your White Sox!!! They lost some big bats this winter. Paul Konerko will have a killer season, and Buehrle will be an ace, but that’s all. Plus, it’s only a matter of days before Carl Everett goes back on the DL. :)

Pennant has two n’s, robot. That and the fact that you don’t have the Red Sox beating the Phillies in 6 games in the World Series completely nullify your picks for me.

I absolutely refuse to edit my post to correct my spelling. Deal with it!

Has the baseball season started? If so, and since you live in Atlanta, could you please inform the Braves offense. They seem to be in prime offseason form. I think my dead grandmother could be a better situational hitter than all but Chipper in that lineup. Mercy.
