Just thought I'd bump this thread back up now that the season is over

Home run leader and total: Pujols, 49

There was my best prediction. Pujols wasn't the homerun leader but I did predict the # of homers he'd get.

Other than that my predictions were pretty bad. Niether of my World Series teams are even in the playoffs.

St. Louis Cardinals 96-66

Cincinnati Reds 62-100

Florida Marlins 54-108

San Diego Padres 78-84

Tampa Bay Devil Rays 75-87

Chicago White Sox 104-58

Cleveland Indians 91-71

Detroit Tigers 72-90

We're none of us perfect.
