Way back when, before the season started i made a bunch of picks about how the upcoming baseball season was going to play out. lets see how i did;
AL east:yanks
sox(wildcard)
o's
J's
ray's
not to shabby here, i got the yanks and sox pretty much nailed except i expected too much from pavano/wright. i was dead on for the sox and i did mention roberts was going to have a good year but only a sentance before i said sosa was going to be sweet. you win some you lose some. i nailed the ray's too and what was going to happen to pinella.
AL central:min
clv
chisox
det
kc
well i said good things about the white sox but put them in third. minisota had way too many injuries to do anything. i nailed cleveland. KC and DET are gimmies.
AL West:Ana
Oak
Tex
Sea
my best division, I nailed this one to the T. and i did say the A's would be a decent threat for the playoffs, it wasn't until the last two weeks of hte season that they were eliminated. gee, beltre was a bust in seattle? who'd have thought.
i think i did pretty good this year. (turns, toots own horn), fuck yeah.
matt, i must give you 2 thumbs up on your picks. you should be up there at espn w/ gammons. screw kruk.
you also probably dont remember me bitching about losing cabrera, but i did. and i stand by that bitching. i like renteria, but i like cabrera more. then renteria went to have a below average year hitting (for him) and made the most errors in the al (or maybe mlb). renteria hit for a better avg, but cabrera's fielding was way better. pitching and defense, pitching and defense.
nice job matt.
