2009 National League Award Show Predictions

Just a reminder that I did absolutely miserable with these predictions last year. But alas we shall predict err make an educated guess at these things.

MVP - Manny Ramirez, I was gonna go David Wright, but I'm changing it up and picking Manny. Did you know he's somehow never finished in the top 2 of the MVP voting? He finished in the top ten in 8 consecutive seasons but has never won the award nor got the runner up trohpy. If the Dodgers make the run to the playoffs that I expect, and Manny does anything similar to his performance last year, than he will be in the running.

Cy Young - Johan Santana, Johan + solid bullpen = Lots of Wins. If the bullpen didn't suck last year than Johan most likely would have taken home the award. This year with Putz and Krod in the pen I fully expect Johan to win 20 games with his typically awesome ratios.

Manager of the Year - Jerry Manual, Somehow getting the Mets to not collapse in September will be enough for the "Gangsta" to take home to award.

Rookie of the Year - Cameron Maybin, He's already up, he's gonna get lots of playing time, and he has athleticism to spare. Think Mike Cameron like numbers. Double digit homers. Double Digit steals. Solid run and rbi totals, lots of strikeouts and a mediocre average.

Comeback Player of the Year - Khalil Greene, He was god awful last year. He hit .213 and his homers dropped from 27 to 10. Now with a change of scenery and a spot at cleanup against lefties. No seriously Khalil Greene is going to be Pujols protetion. Tony LaRussa may be smoking a wee bit too much crack.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
