Bald Pricks Picks

Let me preface this by saying that 99% of sports to me is gut instinct and thats how i pick winners from losers most of the time. I know, i could actually care and read stats: I don't, i have better things to do with my time. Besides, most of my enjoyment comes from yelling at all stars when they half-ass their fielding-which is why i loved right field when Abreu Played.

The Reds will win the NL Central hands down. Besides the fact that their outfield is crap, they have pretty decent position players , and great pitching. Plus who wouldn't want to see the return of the Big Red Machine?

I also am salivating for when the cubs finish out of the playoffs with that ridiculous payroll they have. It will be fun to laugh in the faces of the Wrigley faithful on Addison once again this year. I hate the cubs!

Al East will be taken down by the red sox. Let's admit it, they have a better team than the yanks, and the blue jays will only be competitive when they can afford Vernon Wells and a team for him to play with. Its sort of like the Cavs and Le Bron but at least in basketball you have a fighting chance with a guy that good out there with no team.

The AL Central will once again prove to be the most competitive and the most enjoyable to watch of all of the leagues. Besides the Royals, pretty much everyone has a shot. Nothing like teams going on 28 out of 30 win streaks and still not gaining any ground in their division. Gotta love it. If i have to pick, i gotta go with the Twins

I could care less about the AL West. Theres only four teams in the whole damn division. Hell, someone should throw the Dbacks a bone, and move them to the AL. The Angels will regain form and win the division. The A's will be hurting without the big hurt, even if Norristown Mike(His rookie card has Valley Forge, what a liar!) hits .285/89/30, which isn't going to happen.

The NL West will be handily won by the Dodgers, who could possibly end up with the best record in all of baseball. Imagine the Phillies with an OF: nuff said.

And Finally: The NL East. This could end up being one of the funnest divisions to watch come September. Pretty much every team has a shot, if certain stars align. Of course, I am saying this with the understanding that the Washington Nationals are not actually an MLB team, therefore my statement is still true.

Do the Mets simply repeat last year? Fuck no! Not with Pedro out till July.
Will the Braves manage to return to their former glory? Its possible, but highly unlikely. Still too many question marks in that starting rotation.
Will the Marlins manage to win on pure young raw talent? Probably not, now that Joe Girardi isn't their Jedi Master
Can the Phils manage to stop being misers and spend some cash come july and get a legtimate RP and OF? Well, they had six months to do it, so i don't see it happening now. This team is doomed until we can get rid of Pat the Bat. Of course, that nickname has absolutley nothing to do with his Baseball abilities and at the same time is the only reason he ever got a contract extension: he puts Poon in the seats.

In a side note about Pat: I would still trade all the money in the world to watch some 12 year old Japanese Kid strike him out with the same pitch, high and inside every time. Maybe after strike three the kid could fly off the mound and put a roundhouse in his face and then nationally televise Pat crying and sobbing like a little bitch just like I'm sure he did after that cop almost hit him before Pat ran away to his Bat Cave Esque Pussy Pad in Center City.

Fuck it. Nationals Win. Everyone else is going to self destruct.


World Series(Not going to go through entire Playoffs)

Safe Bet: Twins/Dodgers. Dodgers in five.

These are the two most complete teams in baseball. True, the twins have some issues with their starting five, but they have so much relief pitching, it shouldn't be to hard to swing a fifth starter in a trade. The dodgers are clearly the team to beat in the NL. In the end, the Pros win over the kids.

Doomsday Scenario: Phils/Whitesox. Sox in six.

The Phils will come out and win the first two, and then get swept. Why? Because its what we do. Also, at the end of the series, the two teams will transform into a two headed Voltron of Ruben Amaro Jr and Ozzie Guillien, and they will fly to Venezuela and break Urbina out of Prison. Also, Jerry Reinsdorf will just buy the Phils once and for all so we can officially be the AAA White Sox. I'd be ok with a AAA team called the Phillies. Has to be better than the newly dubbed "Iron Pigs'. Sounds like a fucking band of merry Leather Daddies to me. Then again, it is Allentown?


Its Very Late...sorry. Goodnight
