2009 Baseball Predictions

I believe both Mariners and the D-backs will have good season

The Mariners young staff may carry that putrid offense to the playoffs!

No way the Mets beat my Phillies or win the NL East. Marlins won't finish 4th in the NL East, they'll finish 2nd behind my Phils. Cubbies always tighten up come playoff time. Otherwise, nice job!!!! :up:

Well youre right about 3 things:
The Marlins wont finish 4th
The Marlins will finish 2nd
Cubbies always tighten up around playoff time

Now what you got wrong:
The Marlins will finish 2nd....behind MY Mets.
The Phillies will finish 4th cause their starting pitching is quite possibly the worst starting staff in the NL 2-5.

Hey remember 2006? Get ready for a repeat of how the Mets ran away with the division brotha :tongue2:

You have the Redsox losing to the Angels in the WC, and then Redsox beating Yankees in the Divisonal

Breakout season for Cameron Maybin!!!!

LOL I guess I was more tired then I thought last night :lol:

:yawn: - that is my prediction for baseball this year.

edit

on topic, phillies repeat. :lol:

Boik...the standing in the West should look like this...

1.) Angels

2.) A's
3.) Rangers
4.) Mariners

You needed a bigger space in between first and second. I could see all three of those teams losing 90 games.

My A's are going to be terrible. They are loaded with young pitchers but relying solely on young pitchers is NOT a good idea.

Ya, except I like the Rangers more then the A's this year. At least texas can outslug teams, the A's wont be good for another year or two. I can see Oakland and seattle losing 90, I think Texas should be around .500 just by virtue of the fact they play Seattle and Oakland 18x each. The other 45 games (to get to 81 wins) they should win by accident. :lol:

Braves win the East. A combination of their much improved pitching staff, Francoer learning how to hit again, and their future superstar centerfielder puts them back on top over the overhyped defending champs and the Mets. Chipper probably won't play in 140 games but if he somehow does that seals the deal even further.

No f-ing way.

Dont see whats so unbelievable about that.

The Marlins, one could aruge, have less talent than last year. They have made no significant upgrades and have very little depth.

If one or two of their starting pitchers goes down (as they did last year) how many wins do you project for them?

2nd Place in the NL East probably means around 90 wins, maybe more. I dont see that happening.

The O's will be in the World Series

I'd argue that we're better than last year. And only Andrew Miller went down for any significant time.

I meant down as in injured, not sent down. Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez missed most of last season.
