2006 Predictions

Re: 2006 Predictions

Here's another good one.

Honestly, I have a feeling people are really placing expectations way too high for Jonathan Papelbon.

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

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

Re: 2006 Predictions

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.

Re: 2006 Predictions

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.

Re: 2006 Predictions

AL ROY: Jonathan Papelbon 13-8, 3.52 ERA 120 K's


Runner Up: Jake Peavy 19-7 2.44 ERA 219 K's

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.

Re: 2006 Predictions

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

AL Central - Indians

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.

Re: 2006 Predictions

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).

Re: 2006 Predictions

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.

Re: 2006 Predictions

I'm picking the Braves to win the division but I could see why people would pick the Mets.

Kiss. Of. Death.
