If that was the case, I would be a rich sports better in Vegas. You set yourself up by saying how much more you know then these so-called "experts" yet the only time I've seen you make predictions you crashed and burned. Keep trying though - even a blind squirrel can find a nut. Maybe one of these years you will be "smarter" (luckier) than the "experts."

Most recent set of predictions, found easily using the "predictions" label.

Or rather the only other one here where you claim you are so much smarter than the ESPN guys because "for what it's worth, you've beaten them every year." Then you drop an egg by getting 3 of the 8 playoff teams right (which, ironically is more than many of those "experts") But still, it's just more of your self-boasting BS that "proves" how much more you know about baseball than everyone else. HA.
