It'll be better soon.

Look at Detroit, just two years ago they were last place sell off losers. And now I'm predicting they'll barely miss out on a WC.


Lol
I'm predicting this will be the kind of year on the south side where I'll be able to run onto the field during a game and no one will even chase after me. Hell, I'll probably be allowed to just loiter on the field as they play.

Hawk said he wants to buy the farm in the booth. You have to think he is only expediting that with his zany calls and ramblings. When the Sox are really bad, he will spend most of the game disinterested and the remainder just bitter and awful to listen to. Funny though.

It is hilarious in games the Southsiders are behind in.

He's tough for me to handle for any stretch of time though.

Frank Thomas will do a few games throughout the year. It seems the Sox are trying to get him more involved in general. Anyway, he is quiet as hell. Just dead air. It's borderline creepy and hilarious. If I lived in a high rise and was just drunk enough, I might take a header out the window having to listen to more than two games of that duo.

Trade Fulmer to a Tigers fan for an outfielder.

What's with no closer? (Isn't RM a set up man?)

Umm... Fulmer starts the home opener on Friday, not Game 1.

Central Picks...

Cleveland 90-72
Detroit 82-80
Kansas City 81-81
Minnesota 72-90
Chicago 70-92

I'll stick with the order....the records are debatable.

I'm waiting for doug to give us his predictions for the AL Central. Obviously Detroit will be on top (100+ wins, I assume) - but how will he place the other 4 teams?
