Last year I crashed and burned with my predictions on the 2004 baseball season. In fact, I was only right about three things:
1. The Houston Astros winning the wild card.
2. The Yankees winning the AL East.
3. The Yankees losing in the World Series.
My biggest flaw was that I had the Cubs contending and I actually believed the Kansas City Royals were better than the Twins and White Sox. I've received my flogging in the form of the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series while I counted them out at the beginning of the season. Now the Red Sox are the hated Red Sox. They will be the team to gun for while the Cubs will be the team everyone thinks they will beat. I believe I was a bit overzealous after the 2003 season because I predicted what most perceived to be a long shot... that the Cubs will win the NL Central.
If I may be not-so-bold, I decided to give this season's predictions, but I will be more realistic, thus earning the right to be smug at the end of the season.
Here are David Gange's 2005 MLB predictions:
1. The Atlanta Braves will win the NL East again, while the Mets will be voted the most overrated team by All Star Break.
2. The NL Central will be taken by the Cincinnati Reds. There will be a 3-way tie for the wild card between the Cubs, Cardinals, Astros.
3. Arizona and Milwaukee will fight each other to avoid being the worst team in the NL.
4. San Francisco will win the NL West without Barry Bonds.
5. The AL playoff picture will be exactly the same as it was last season.
6. Sammy Sosa will be sidelined for two months after a violent burp that somehow injures his hamstring.
7. Bud Selig will be accused of using steroids.
8. Fever Pitch will will crash and burn during its opening weekend, despite selling out in Boston.
9. The Washington Nationals will change their name to "The Baltimore Nationals of Washington". Similary, the Florida Marlins will change their name to "The Atlanta Marlins of Miami", and the Pittsburgh Pirates will change their name to "The Bad News Bears".
10. Mark Prior and Kerry Wood will overcome their chronic injuries by using the Fusion Technique to combine and become Merry Prood. They will pitch 60 games, going 60-0 with an ERA of 1.02... and that's just at Super Saiyan Level 7.
