Some amongst you are sick of baseball talk. I like to call those people "jerks." It's Opening Day on Monday and I'm excited. So F you all.
Before I make my preseason predictions, let's take a look back at how I did last year with my 2006 Opening Day predictions.
AL East: New York Yankees (CORRECT!)
AL Central: Cleveland Indians (WRONG! Correct answer: Minnesota Twins)
AL West: Oakland Athletics (CORRECT!)
AL Wild Card: Boston Red Sox (WRONG! Correct answer: Detroit Tigers)
NL East: Atlanta Braves (WRONG! Correct answer: New York Mets)
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals (CORRECT!)
NL West: San Diego Padres (CORRECT!)
NL Wild Card: New York Mets (WRONG! Correct answer: Los Angeles Dodgers)
World Series pick: Oakland over New York Mets (WRONG! Correct answer: St. Louis over Detroit)
If I give myself credit for picking the Mets to get in the playoffs, I did pretty well. My two World Series picks were in the divisional championship series. And really - who could have called the fucking Tigers?
My point? The much-anticipated 2007 pre-season playoff picks are coming tomorrow. Contact your bookies and wager accordingly. That is all. (Hint: I'm not picking the Yankees to win the AL East).

I rather enjoy this exchnage from last year's journal's comments:
Gosh that Nate sure is virile.
You mean viral.
Anyone sick of the baseball talk who has something to say about local rock music, my playground is open too.
That said, I'm picking the Cincinnati Rudds.
You're going to pick the A's to go all the way again, aren't you?
More importantly/civilized-ly, who are you picking to win the Masters?
You'll have to wait tomorrow for my pick.
I know nothing about golf, but I'm going to go with Tiger Woods. I think I heard somewhere that he wins a lot.
After reading last year's comments, I came to confirm something I've always suspected...
Alena and I are better than you.
