I'm a little concerned that there aren't going to be many tight races this year besides the wild card.

Also I just thought it'd be a good time to remind Crede of this thread. http://www.thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=400289&page=1#8583200

Next I'm gonna challenge you to a game of horseshoes.

Headliner, I won the game of horseshoes.

Now you owe me a watermelon.

everyone is in the NL wild card

the east and west are gonna be no-contests though

8/16/2006 10:14:07 PM

You got A's, Mets, and Dodgers right... they are all gonna be there.

to say the Yankees have the AL East locked up is ludicrous. The NL Central is tightening up the AL West could get interesting. The Wild Card races are always interesting.

I don't think he's saying they're locked up; I think he's saying if everything holds, he'll have picked five of the six division winners right just like he said he would when someone else said it was stupid to predict that early.

GO BIRDS!

I don't really understand what you're talking about. Boston is two games out from NYY, St. Louis is clinging to the NL Central, LA Dodgers are only up 2.5 games. How have you proven anything?

Well you said 95% of my predictions would be wrong.

And since Im about to get 5 out of 6 correct.

I guess only ~17% of my predictions were wrong.

I said 95% of the predictions would be wrong. As in 95% of the time the predictions you made at the beginning of the year are going to be wrong in some way at the end of the season.

I think rally did a pretty damn good job with his picks and I'm willing to bet that his 5/6 will hold (obviously there is still over a month to be played so we'll see). I can't believe he didn't pick the Tigers though - joke
