Mark (who comments here as “Tree”) asked me for my projections for this year’s season. I’m posting them here for all to see, and we’ll revisit in November to see how I did.

I hope you’re wrong on the World Series at least. A NY subway series would suck.
You think the Yankees torn and frayed pitching staff can carry them in October? Yet for some strange reason, I picked them to win the World Series. And Philly is making me look bad already. It’s their bats on why I probably picked them. I see you went with the happy pick of the Brew Crew winning the divison. I guess it is possible, due to the depleted Astros & Cardinals. It’s been a strange and cold season so far. Bunch of East Coast games have already been canceled. Glad to see people making predictions, a tradition I’ve done since 1989.
edit: Yankees bats to win the WS, not Philly bats I meant.
If the Cubs are going to finish 3rd, they better stop overrunning bases.
