2006 MLB predictions

Thanks! I just had a hunch that the Cards would do it this year, although I started to doubt them towards the end of the season.

After the Mets were eliminated in the NLCS, I started to root for the Tigers. NO one thought they would do what they did this year. I knew that Leyland would be a great fit there, but didn't figure that he'd get them to the WS in his first year.

Now I'm depressed---no baseball until February again.

Crystal balls need pollishing

Here goes..........

NL Champs (tough one---the NL is weaker than the AL)
Cardinals

World Series Champs:
Cardinals

I think LaRussa is finally going to get over the hump this year.

Well done, scott 1965! Not many picked the Cards to be WS Champs. Many folks predicted the Chicago White Sox would repeat, which has become the most difficult thing to do in sports today, at least this century. Who would have honestly thought the Tigers would be AL Champs? Even the Detroit faithful had realistic hopes for their team. My poor Cubbies stunk like lower Wacker Dr. on an August evening during alewives season, but the brainwashed die-hards thought '06 would finally be their year. How well did you do with your predictions? I batted .125; a lousy 1 for 8.

[Jays4life]

Blue Jays? They look good, but not that good.

They are not that good. They are even better!

[trosmok]

How 'bout them Tigers

The Braves "should we worry?" thread got me thinking about this old thread; as we enter the good hot days of summer I thought we might dredge this up for some fun. Seems few if any of us thought Detroit would finish higher than fourth, which barring an implosion of great magnitude isn't likely to happen. My predictions are looking horribly bad, as usual, but I did accurately fortell that the addition of the cereal lead-off man, as well as making Youkilis an everyday player would improve the Red Sox dramatically. The thread took some turns toward Astros bashing, part of which I'm to blame, but Houston will need to play better than .500 ball to make the post-season. Not many others thought the Reds would be playing so well, either, bt they have been known to contend until August, and then stink worse than the Ohio River on a hot day the rest of the way.

[holyroman]

The astros will be and are better. all you people seem to ignore the fact that they won the NL last year beating two good teams. ther offense will be much improved this year. sure the starting rotation is a question but it was last year too. All i'm saying is that if you payed any attention to the astros success over the last ten years you would know they are a winning franchise only behind the yankees and braves in consistency.

[robsmyth40]

14 days

any thoughts after the first two weeks?

[DodgerBlue81]

did you watch last year?, they are weaker this year!

They won't be much weaker, and the Astros are weaker too.

[ndistops]

LOL, what's with all these Cubs World Champions predictions?

We Cubs fans always pick our team no matter how stupid it may seem.

I can't see the Cardinals not winning the NL.

AL is far better and will have the World Series winner, which unfortunately, I think it will be the Yankees.

did you watch last year?, they are weaker this year!
