      I tried to be "different" with my picks, that really worked out well...

          You guys are making a big deal out of nothing.

          People have predicted the Mets to win the East every year since 2001, and year in year out, they add some big names, but fall short. Plus, you have to consider that this is the first year the Braves haven't won that division.

          *yawn*

            Exactly. OMG someones prediction was wrong!!! We do these for fun but there is always a couple people who think they deserve some kind of props for guessing right.

              Wow, so Mets fans are thrilled that after HOW MANY YEARS NOW.....they're finally winning the division past July? Congratulations. Really.

              I wish people kept underestimating the Braves, and kept picking the Mets to win it.

                Same can be said about a few fans of other teams as well.

                  I'd like to point out when I made this post, I obviously did not know that Papelbon would be a closer. But it's for the AL ROY so that counts even if the stats aren't for the right position.

                  I'm disappointed for my Cy Young Runner Up.

                    <<<<<< me at some of these predictions

                    AL Central - Indians

                    Why people keep predicting division championships for the Mets never ceases to amaze me.

                    World Series Champion- Cleveland Indians

                    Honestly, I have a feeling people are really placing expectations way too high for Jonathan Papelbon.
                    But credit is due to this person.
                    AL ROY - Francisco Liriano *I think he is considered a rookie*

                      Re: 2006 Predictions

                      Hahah yeah my predictions were way off. Indians to win the central? Delmon Young for AL ROY (not even called up yet). Um, Jake Peavy for NL Cy Young (how's that 4-11 record Jake?). But at least my surprised teams have done well (Brewers, Reds, Rangers....forget about the O's though, what a waste of time).

                      About the Mets, I agree, they've added big names every year for the past 5 and didn't do anything with them. I know Omar Minaya is a good GM, but I didn't want to give him credit yet without actually showing me he could do it. Well guess what, he can.

                        To be fair, Jake probably deserves a better record. He's had a few starts in where he pitched well enough to win the game, but the offense failed to give him support (just like his most recent loss, 1-0 on a sac fly, offense couldn't hit off Pettitte).

                            I love to see the Blue Jays make the postseason. But by the looks of that disastrous west coast swing and their stop at Yankee Stadium, I think they're done.
