This is the thread to express what you think will happen that many might disagree with. For example I will start with one I have, and I know many will disagree.
The Mets will NOT win the NL East.

I would be happy of the mets blow their lead. It will be very funny to me.

Less bold, considering the standings, but bold nevertheless given their domination in recent seasons, the Cardinals will not win the NLcentral.

On the same note, the Reds will win the Central.

Carl Pavano will have another setback.
The Yankees will be involved in at least one more rain delay this season.
Soriano will be traded...:D
The Mets will pull a 1964 Philly...
Barry bonds voice will get deeper and his head smaller...
Barry Bonds will retire at the end of the season.

I would agree with you, especially considering how their rotation is in shambles, but that would mean someone would have to overtake them. As bad as the Mets are going right now, the rest of the division is worse.
26 and counting

The White Sox will NOT win the AL Central.
Oh...wait, that was last year.

Carl Pavano will pitch again for the Yankees, and David Wells will pitch again for the Red Sox.

That's both bold and wrong.
Substitute the Yankees for the Mets and the AL East for the NL East and you have an accurate prediction.:) :)

I disagree unless we do the smart thing which would be to punt this season and then trade Mussina and Sheffield both for top prospects then sign both of them along with Zito again during the off season, along with anything else we might need.

I'm going to be random... after all they're just guesses.
The Twins will make the playoffs
The Wild Card will not come out of the AL East
The Mets will win not make it out of the first round of the playoffs
The NLCS winner is actually competitive in the World Series
I will replace Jason Johnson in the Red Sox rotation.

That's not that bold. What number is on your ticket? I think they're serving number 12.
Papelbon will not win the NL West.
Papelbon will not win the NL West.
Nothin fer nothin, but that's about as bold as saying the Royals will win the World Series this year.

Dennis Drinkwater is next in line, but who knows how his arm will hold up.

I look at it this way, if I am wrong well then everyone said I was gonna be wrong, but if I'm right then I look like a genius. Its really a win-win situation.

Roger Clemens will get traded to the Red Sox at the trading deadline and procede to pull every muscle in his body when he wrestles Schmoopy over the Staff Ace title...as Josh Beckett head explodes while he watches his two idols fight each other.

Bold predictions... hmmmm
Chein Ming Wang actually strikes out someone after a 2-0 count
Scott Proctor will not throw over 100 innings, nor will his arms fall off.
Melky Cabrera will hit over 15 HR.... and so will Derek Jeter.
Robinson Cano actually takes strike one.
Aaron Small will pitch for the Yankees again before Carl Pavano.. and actually do better.
Jason Giambi will get a stolen base again, and so will Bernie Williams. both of them will also get a web gem moment during the season.
1. Mussina wins Cy Young, finishes with ERA under 3.20
2. Liriano finishes with ERA under 2, but only wins 15 games b/c the Twins offense reverts to its norm.
3. Joe Mauer hits well above .400 at home, but his road numbers go down and he only hits .350 overall.
4. Papelbon blows 2 saves against the Yankees in August.
5. The mariners win the AL West.
6. AL wild card comes out of the East.
7. Gary Sheffield finishes the season with 10+ HRs.

Pavano will superglue himself together & come back to pitch 7 innings of shutout ball in his first start back.
...........ha & I'm going to marry jessica alba on my lotto winning day.

Bump... 3 out of 4... and I was one round away from 4 out of 4 :D . I'm considering the Cards competitive since they've already taken 2 out of the three games, and even if they lose the rest, that's still competitive!
And usually I'm really really really bad with predictions.
