CC97 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Orioles in 3rd? Hilarious.All I'll say is the wild card won't come from the East... with the Jays/Sox/Yanks facing each other so many times the runner-up will not be able to beat the runner up in the Central. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants' age worry me and the Cardinals have lost parts over the last few years and are a Rolen or Edmonds injury away from a very weak lineup. Everything will have to fall perfectly into place for the Phils to win the WC, but I have a very good feeling.AL West1.) Yankees 96-662.) Red Sox 88-743.) Blue Jays 86-764.) Devil Rays 73-895.)

Jigga Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Screw all this winning , let's have some fun.I predict that the Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Florida Marlins, Seattle Mariners will all be last place teams. Florida will lose in the 107-112 range and earn the first pick in the 2007 Amatuer Draft.I predict Barry Bonds' knee will allow him to play 90-100 games and hit 25-30 home runs.I predict the will Atlanta Braves finish 2nd in their division.I predict at least 2 guys will hit 50 home runs.I predict Roger Clemens will pitch for the Houston Astros again this year.I predict the first manager to be fired will be Clint Hurdle (and it will be before the All-Star Break). Don't sleep on Frank Robinson being canned either, especially if the Nationals get a new owner. Especially if Lou Pinella has any interest.
