MLB 2007 predictions thread

[hi_im_god]

a team will go on a long losing streak and all the locals will be sad. then they'll start a long winning streak and everyone will be lining up to buy playoff tickets. they'll finish around .500.

george will writes a long boring piece about the beauty the arc of a long boring season has and how it reflects life or america or poetry and all is good and wonderful so long as we all have baseball. if there is any justice in the world he will be maimed by a foul ball line drive at national stadium and unable to write afterwards.

in early may i will be looking down the bright metallic double barrell of 6 more months of this intermnible season and wondering if i can make it to the opening of nfl camps in july without pulling the trigger.

in the most fitting monument one can imagine to baseball's policeing itself on steroids, barry bonds will break the all time homerun record. no one outside of san francisco will feel anything but sad. except me. i'll be experiencing schadenfreude.

i will give you 2-1 on your money if i win you owe me 100 if you win i owe you 200.

and im not worried about the check, its just if it was the other way around im sure you wouldnt except the bet unless you had the check from me, as weird as it might sound i trust you, you have never done anything to make me not trust you.

PointGiven, give me a good reason why the Tigers, Angels, Mets, or the Astros can't win more games than the Yankees this year. Wait, nevermind, the Yankees have Pavano and Igawa as their pitchers so they are set.

LOLOLOLOL I HAD TO COMEBACK TO POST FOR THAT
TO FUNNY

[IrishofNDMan]

if you think that's a jinx, I have $100 riding on Florida with a buddy of mine. So it looks like we win or go down together, I gave him 4.5 also and Florida will find a way to win by 4, I actually think you just jinxed me by taking the bet, I did mine awhile ago, and you already lost a bet to PointGiven, so what does that tell you.

[IrishofNDMan]

fill me in on how many games that is??? I gave you two this year, one I lost by .5 of a point and the other I was dead wrong on. Those are the two I posted.

[IrishofNDMan]

you make it sound like I have been wrong a million times, you posted nothing wrong, but it could be taken wrong. I'm not scared to post my picks and I stand up to it when I'm wrong.

[IrishofNDMan]

well, Good Luck Dahoss, lets see if Florida can get it done for us. We need some big 3s out of Humprheys.

lol this is good

[POINTGIVEN1985]

if ohio st could play some d this would be alot better game, oden is dominating, ohio st cant seem to make a ****ing 3 pointer either, im almost disgusted i will wait 5 minutes into the second half to decide if im disgusted

thats real mature i doubt someone like you even has any action on this game at all... i'd rather lose on the game then sit home and make up action like your in the process of doing.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

and if you really want to be technical i was up 50 on him, so this game brings me down to even, im not one to even be upset over a 50 bet, win or lose
