Baseball Prognostication, Year 2: Final Readings & Predictions

Friends,

I've been busy and impossibly tired lately. I meant to have this up yesterday, and well, best intentions being what they are...

Anyway, here's how I stacked up this year for predicting this baseball season, and how I think the playoffs will get sorted out. For the record, I really, really want the Twins to beat the Yankees, but I just don't have faith they can because they have too much deadwood in the lineup. All the heart in the world won't be able to out perform those weak sticks.

Without further preamble...
