2009 MLB Predictions

Well, I havent updated this in a while so I apologize for that but, I'm here now and I've got a buddy of mine who made some baseball predictions and I thought it would be a good idea to share his thoughts with you guys so here they are. Please leave some comments and let me know what you guys think. Thanks!


American League East

-The Ray's won't be back for another division title, and neither will the Yankees. So that leaves the other three teams in the mix, and if you think its the Blue Jays or Orioles, then you're dreaming. I don't even know who even plays for the Orioles. Nick Markakis or something. Who cares. The Red Sox have the best rotation and offense behind them so they will win the division. Sorry Yankee fans, AJ Burnett will get hurt, and Ching Ming Wong, is also injury prone. Mark Teixeira is a second half player, and AROD is already going to miss the first month.Red Sox win, to restore order in America.

Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, Blue Jays and Orioles.

American League Central

-The Tigers really shit the bed last year. So did the Indians.The Royals always shit he bed so, there is order in the Central. Howthe hell does the Twins always make a playoff run? Sure Justin Morneau is good, and so is Joe Mauer, but every friggen year they are in the mix. Hell Mauer is panzy little bitch, and gets hurt all the time. So this division apparantly is a toss up. The White Sox are getting older, and the Royals are terrible as usual. This should be a boring division.

Indians, Twins, Tigers, White Sox, and Royals.



American League West

-Again a lame division to watch. The Angels got worse, but yet since they are in a terrible division they should win it. The Rangers could make a run, but the only pitcher I can name is Kevin Millwood, and he's above average at best. The A's got Matt Holliday, but don't be shocked if he only his 280 this year. The Mariners are really terrible.Like unexplicably terrible. Erik Bedard will be traded by trade
deadline to a contender. Hopefully not a New York team.

Angels, Rangers, A's, and Mariners.

National League East

-So the are the Met's doomed for another September collapse? Are the Phillies contenders to repeat? Are the Braves any good? Will the Marlins win 80+ games with the payroll of a Jack in the Box? Will the Nationals compete for the first two weeks? Answers to those questions are right here in this order. No, No, Somewhat, No, and God no they suck. The Met's have the best bullpen in the division, while the Braves have the best rotation in the division (yes they do) and the Phillies probably have the best lineup in the division. All of those however have to combine to win games so I guess it goes to the Mets. It should be tight in the top three spots.

Mets, Phillies, Braves, Marlins, Nationals.

National League Central

-Will the Cubs have the best record in the National League then get crushed in the post season? Of course they will it's the Cubs. The Cardinals could very well fly under the radar, as well as the Astros. All three of these teams, have potent lineups, with decent rotations. The Cubs have the best rotation by far in the division, but like I said above it's the Cubs. The Brewers are going to take a couple steps back, and the Reds and Pirates are both a mess.

Cubs, Cardinals, Astros, Brewers, Reds, and Pirates.

National League West

-Nobody cares about this division from myself, to Jesus. I mean again it will come down to who wants to just be over .500 more Will it be the Diamondbacks or Dodgers? If you rely on pitching it goes to the Diamondbacks. If it relies on offense, it goes to the Rockies. If Tim Lincecum pitches every game it goes to the Giants. Somehow the Dodgers win games as well. The Padres are just terrible.

Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Rockies, Giants and Padres.

Division Playoffs.

Red Sox over Angels in 4,
Yankees over Indians in 5
Mets over Diamondbacks in 4
Cardinals over Cubs in 5

Championship Series.

Red Sox over Yankees in 6
Mets over Cardinals in 6

World Series

Red Sox over Mets in 6.
