Euro 2008 Predictions

Hey its time to make token predictions based on slightly above average but certainly not expert knowledge.
Group A
I feel as if Portugal and the Czech Republic are pretty safe bets to outlast Turkey and Switzerland. Turkey probably has a slightly better chance to advance than the Swiss but still a limited one.

Group B

I have Germany and Croatia tieing for the group lead and say Germany gets spot #1 on goal differential. I don't think Poland or Austria have a large chance of advancing.

Group C
This is a big time group and of course I sided against the French advancing because well I don't like France much.
Group D
Spain will dominate this group and flip a coin between Greece, Sweden and Russia. My coin landed in a tie with Russia and Sweden and then landed in Russia's favor.

Quarterfinals
These rounds didn't automatically fill out which team was what. So I just picked them at random and filled out the teams afterwards. I think a final 4 of Italy, Spain, Portuagal and the Czech Republic is a pretty good prediction.

Semifinals
I just picked the two on the left. I feel as if Spain is going to do well this year but if I was going to pick between Spain and Italy the bias in me would have picked Italy anyway.

Final
Again I just picked these at first without figuring out who was Game 29 winner. Regardless it wound up being Portugal and well its Christiano's World the rest of us are just using his land and air out of the kindness of his heart.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
