Never Too Early for a Dumb Prediction

Unoriginal repeating bastard that I am - I am throwing out the exact same WS prediction that I put up last year….

- and don’t get me wrong, I hope the SOX screw everything up and win the Central….

Old edP is going third person and picking the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs to meet each other in the Fall Classic. Don’t ask me to pick a winner because all I care about is this match up. The Cubs in October is a ratings dream for MLB and these are the two remaining underdogs left in baseball (with Cleveland, as a city, being the greater of the two dogs).

Does that make sense?

One Cleveland-related prediction that I feel absolutely confident in making - - DeRosa is gonna mop up the floor with SOX pitching. He was a real WhiteSOX killer when he played with the Rangers and he has only become a better hitter in the intervening years. The SOX are going to see him nineteen times a season and the Cleveland infielder could pile up some fantastic stats.

D’oh

It still hurts a little bit to hear DeRosa called "Cleveland infielder..."

Yeah, he's a great ball player and I really like him (that's hard to say as a SOX fan considering how he's killed the team I love over the years)

I believe in the little guy Mike F. as far as replacing some of DeRosa's numbers. I don't know about the intangibles

but that's why they are intangibles. Your Cubs will win the division again barring a collapse of epic Cublike proportions (sorry) and then we will all see what happens from there
