Baseball Predictions

There seem to be a whole lot of predictions for the baseball season already. I don't quite get it, but since so many others are in the game, here are mine:

The Giants will play about half of their games at home and half away. The A's, aping the Giants once again, will do the same.

Of course the Cubs will also do this, which will raise hopes, once again, for the poor Cubs fans (one real prediction I will make: the Cubs will not make it to the World Series). Of course snide, hardened veteran sports writers will point out that the Yankees AND the Mets will follow a similar pattern.

Of course as we get into September, the numbers start taking on much more meaning, and we will see four teams in each league playing baseball in October. Ultimately, we will end up with a National League victor and an American League victor. You might have another suggestion, but this is how it has been for years.

And the World Series winner will definitely be one of the following two teams: the American League champs or the National League champs.

Now, if the A's have all of their players go on the disabled list, they will not have a very good season.

And that is how the 2007 baseball season is going to pan out.

Play Ball!
