2009 MLB Predictions

Here's the record predictions for 2009. I'll post a few points on them after you take a peek.



~The records are significantly and I mean significantly more towards the middle than last season. The reasons are as follows, I was mightily burnt by the massively incorrect predictions of the Tigers and Mariners. Massively incorrect. Second, I think almost every team in the MLB has terribly large holes.

~The numbers around the projections are just so that I can convince everyone the records work out so I don't have any jackasses this year yelling at me for having the AL win more games than the NL. They play interleague play, the AL dominates every year. They will again this year. Hence I have the AL having an 8 game over .500 record in interleague play.

~Over the course of the next few days I will have a preview up for each division. That will go into more details into what my thoughts are for each squad.

~Check Out All the Previews: AL East, AL Central, AL West, NL East, NL Central, NL West

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
