Media Predictions Thread

[Bull]

Here's ESPN's expert picks. There are 21 predictions overall and all but four are picking the Cubs to win the Central. The four who don't pick us (Matthew Berry, Chris Singleton, Peter Pascarelli and Eric Karabell) picked the Cardinals to win the division.

 

Jorge Arangure Jr., Rob Neyer and Gene Wojciechowski picked the Cubs to win it all.

Out of the 4 that picked the Cards to win the division, 2 had them losing in the WS and 1 had them winning it all. WTF?

 

:-k

 

I don't know where any of that is coming from.

 

By the way, this morning Mike and Mike gave their predictions for the season.

 

Greenberg picked the Cardinals to win the division and had the Cubs missing the playoffs (I think . . . he might have had them getting the WC) and Golic had the Cubs winning the division.

 

I guess anything CAN happen.

Why not? It's fun for some people. As long as he's not trying to pass yourself off as some sort of expert, who cares if he's right or wrong?

Exactly. They've set up Mike and Mike as kind of a jocks perspective vs a fan's perspective. Greenberg is quite open to the fact that he sucks at predictions.

[Banedon]

Greenberg did have the Cubs as WC.

Ok, couldn't remember that part for sure. It was early in the morning when I saw it.
