These were my predictions from the beginning of the year:
AL West: Seattle Mariners
AL Central: Minnesota Twins
AL East: New York Yankees
Wild Card: Texas Rangers
NL West: San Diego Padres
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
NL East: Atlanta Braves
Wild Card: Los Angeles Dodgers
Wow! Really REALLY bad. I really thought I had the Rays winning the wild card, but I think I had them just barely finishing above 500. Let's retool this a bit!
AL West: Texas Rangers
AL Central: Minnesota Twins
AL East: Boston Red Sox
Wild Card: Tampa Bay Rays
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
NL East: Philadelphia Phillies
Wild Card: Chicago Cubs
I think this will give us a Bos-Tex Tam-Min Phi-Chi LA-StL playoffs. I will make a bold prediction and say the championship series will be Boston against Tampa and Chicago against St Louis. I really want to predict a St. Louis vs. Boston world series for rematch sake, but it will probably be Boston against Chicago with Chicago winning. That hurts! I REALLY hope I'm wrong.
Let's look at my award predictions:
AL MVP: Adrian Beltre(WHOA! Way off, let's change this to Josh Hamilton)
AL Cy Young: Jered Weaver(Couldn't be wronger, we'll make this..umm..Ervin Santana....did i just say that?)
AL Rookie of the Year: Daric Barton(damn! definitely Evan Longoria)
AL Manager of the Year: Ron Gardenhire(probably has to be Maddon at this point)
AL Comeback Player: Francisco Liriano(could still happen, but right now it will probably be Giambi)
NL MVP: Albert Pujols(I'm sticking with this)
NL Cy Young: Chris Young(Albert ruined this prediction, but I'll change it to Tim Lincecum)
NL Rookie of the Year: Johnny Cueto(could have been true, but it is now definitely Soto)
NL Manager of the Year: Bobby Cox(NOPE! Should be LaRussa)
NL Comeback Player: Kerry Wood(MONEY!)
