Article:10 Bold Predictions for the 2008 MLB Season...

I'm back...did you miss me probably but you wont admit it but enough of that locker room-esque talk its time for America's pastime that doesnt require pads, unless your a catcher or a base coach. Yes its time for the sport more tainted than a law passed by Gov. Spitzer., yes its time for baseball and what better way to kick it off than with a bunch of bold predictions from yours truly, the one who said JD Drew would come through in the playoffs, the one who said the Yankees would miss the playoffs and the one who has just written a whole paragraph completely irrelevant to baseball anywho here are my bold predictions for the 2008 MLB season...

1. The Red Sox will be swept in the World Series by the Mets thanks to a hat holding homerun saving catch by a no name outfielder. (yes I'm still bitter by that Feb 3 incident)

2. The Seattle Mariners will almost make the playoffs but then they realize that they will have to overtake the Angels for the division or possibly the Tigers/Indians/Yanke es for a wild card, thats a tough wall to climb.

3. Dontrelle absolutely BLOWS IT

4. Midseason baseball becomes less relevant because Barry Bonds will somehow beat his perjury case

5. The Dodgers will make the playoffs, but Joe Torre will be snubbed as Manager of the Year because....

6. The Brewers will win the NL Central and have one of the top records in the league

7. Dice-K will be an All Star this year as will as a Cy Young candidate with at least 17 wins

8. Joba Chamberlain is overrated, he will prove my point when he becomes a starter

9. The St. Louis Cardinals prove once and for all they are the biggest disappointments in Missouri by bombing this season and Pujols will demand a trade at the end of the season, leaving the usual suspects (Sox, Yanks, Mets, Angels) to drool over him

10.David Ortiz Susan Lucci-ism is finally cured as he finally wins AL MVP
