John’s 2008 season predictions
By john • Mar 20th, 2008 • Category: predictionsIt’s just over a week before another season of baseball begins. While most of us will be looking forward to that odd Sunday night one game series between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves on ESPN that takes place on March 30th.
There’s still time left in spring training and oddly enough even Kerry Wood is healthy.
This season will be a little different as Carrie and I have decided to make it a competition sort-of.
POINT BREAKDOWN
1 - Predicting the Correct finish of a team in a division. (Ex: I pick Tampa Bay to finish 5th and they do, then I get a point)
2 - Correctly guessing the wild card team.
5 - National League or American League World Series team corrected predicted.
10 - Predicting the World Series Winner
5 - Guessing an award winner. (MVP, CY Young, Rookie of the Year, Comeback player of the year)

THOUGHTS
I guess I’ll just keep picking Cleveland until they win. I wasn’t as motivated making these predictions as I was in last years. I’ll just go ahead and post them now cause I’ve really been delaying this for weeks now thinking I would take the time to add some more comments but I never had so let’s just get it out of the way. Maybe I can bury it fast so when my guesses are all wrong I won’t have to see it each day.
