It's been a while, and there is only 6 weeks left in the season, so I thought I'd pull those old predictions out to see how they are doing...
They were:
NL Playoff teams: NY Mets, Chicago Cubs, LA Dodgers, Washingtons Nationals
AL Playoff teams: Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Indians, Oakland A's, Chicago White Sox
Well, the Mets have a 12 game lead in their division, and look to be the team to beat in the NL. The Dodgers are at the top of their division, (and got Greg Maddux) and have a strong shot. The Nationals I will continue to say I must have been hallucinating. The Cubs were 16 games back a few weeks ago, but are only 11.5 games back as of today. There is still a chance. You heard it here first.
Toronto has some work to do to get in the playoffs. They can be forgiven, they are a Canadian team. (Do we have any Canadians out there?) Cleveland, well, what can I say. I really have no idea what in the world I was thinking. They are 24.5 games back right now. Their players are just phoning it in from the golf course. Oakland is on top of their division, and the white sox are hanging in there.
What do I get for 5 or 6 out of 8? Go Cubs. (Might as well root for the underdog.)
I will be in Houston next month. I want to go to Minute Maid Park to see a game...
