Predictions
Now that I honestly truly think I can put the shovel and scraper away, here are my unsolicited predictions for the 2005 Baseball Season (which starts in (oh my God) 79 hours).
NL West: 1)Dodgers, 2)Padres, 3)Rockies, 4)Giants, 5)D-Backs.
NL Central: 1)Cards, 2)Cubs (WC), 3)Astros, 4)Brewers, 5) Reds, 6) Pirates.
NL East: 1)Marlins, 2)Mets, 3)Braves, 4)Phillies, 5)Nationals.
AL West: 1)Angels, 2)Rangers, 3)A's, 4)Mariners.
AL Central: 1)Tigers, 2)Twins, 3)Indians, 4)White Sox, 5)Royals.
AL East: 1)The World Champion Red Sox, 2)Yankees (WC), 3)Orioles, 4)Blue Jays, 5)D-Rays.
Divisional Series: Cards over Dodgers, Cubs over Marlins, Sox over Detroit, Angels over NY (sorry, guys, it doesn't seem like your century.)
LCS: Cubs over Cards, Sox over Angels.
World Series: Sox vs. Cubs. No way dare I pick a winner here.

"The World Champion Red Sox" - It still feels weird to see that in print. It will feel even weirder hearing them introduced that way all season long. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the World Champion Boston Celtics" is something we have heard many times (though unfortunatley not for years), but "The World Champion Red Sox"? Talk about new experiences.
My predictions for division winners: Yankees, Tigers (we agree), Angels, Braves, Cardinals, Padres. NL Wild Card - Marlins. AL Wild Card - I hope Red Sox. I worry about their pitching (but then, I do every year).
