Let this thread be the permanent repository for your ridiculous pre-season MLB predictions. We'll stash it on the left sidebar so it doesn't get lost forever and can be easily referenced throughout the season, either for bragging rights or mockery, or a mix of both.
The more outlandish the better -- Braves win NL East doesn't count; Nationals win NL East does.
Post your predictions in the comments below.
I'll kick this off:
2010 AL Cy Young Award - Daisuke Matsuzaka

2010 AL Rookie of the Year

I don’t think you get the Pirates’ management mentality…McCutchen is their centerpiece. He’s valuable to them, so he’s obviously valuable to everybody else in the league. They can get at least three prospects and/or picks for him. Therefore, they MUST trade him before he asks for (gasp) more money.

And all I ask of you is
Believe"
I think the Pirates do have a plan and a lot of teams tried to get McCutchen this off season and were told no. The Pirates are 2-3 years away from being legit and McCutchen will be the guy leading that team.
I hope they do, just because I’d like to see Pittsburgh not be the Nationals of the NL Central. I’ve just grown to expect the Pirates’ management to make the wrong choice pretty much every time.

The malodorous team and ownership keeps so many fans away from what I feel is the best new-wave stadiums. I hope they improve too.

America, meet your 2010 NL MVP
Eric Bruntlett
Beardo is unlikely member of 3 consecutive NL World Series teams, as he leads the Nationals in a 4 game sweep of the Orioles.
If we're going the Jersey Shore route....
Jeter breaks it off with Minka Kelly, replaces The Situation on The Jersey Shore.

The Royals and Indians meet in the 2010 ALCS. The Indians win when Kerry Wood returns to the rotation and throws an 11-inning shutout in game 7.
by ThinMountainAir on Feb 10, 2010 12:32 PM EST reply actions
But Greinke should be pitching Game 7
If it’s Wood-Greinke, it’s going to be a lot longer than 11 innings before someone scores a run ;)

Jason Donald will have the game winning RBI, scoring Lou Marson.

2010 ALCS: A’s vs. O’s
Let the best vowel win.

Oakland A’s left fielder Michael Taylor wins 2010 rookie of the year, silver slugger & American League MVP awards.
I won’t go that far, but I can easily foresee an SI “Inside Baseball” article that talks about Billy Beane’s prowess in finding high OBP, questionable power guys at low cost as they improbably challenge the Mariners for the AL West Division Lead.

This is not nearly as insane as you think it is. Gold Gloves are an absolute joke.

True, but it’s still Jason Bay…with two left feet in the cavernous left field at Shitty Field.

Nationals win 100 games, win NL East by 17.5 over Florida (half game is b/c a game was cancelled due to snow in Miami)

“General manager.” So that’s what the kids are calling it these days.

Roy Halladay hits .300 with 8 homers and eventually gets intentionally walked to get to a slumping Jimmy Rollins.

Not much of a prediction...
Does it count to say that the Nationals will finish ahead of the Mets?
@mvhsbball: You forgot “for the fourth straight time” :-)
@ Phils 2036 World CH: Derek Jeter breaks it off with Minka Kelly and starts DATING the Situation…
Haha, I remember our first divison title streak…

A few for you
Another Yankee WS Champ’s name gets leaked to media for steroid use (Girardi, wouldn’t that be great).
Mets start off over .500 for first 2 months and falsely give their fans hope…..again
Phils make a shrewd pick up of a scrap heap pitcher before the all star break
Jimmy Rollins…. Playoff MVP
Lincecum gets 3rd straight NL CY….has trophy drilled to make a sweet bong
Howard Eskin…still a jerk
Charlie Manuel gets Heavy B to do Nutrisystem, wins 20 games and makes us all forget about Cliff Lee (can’t even type that with a straight face)
Cole Hamels throws 4 curve balls in 1 game twice this season.
Eric Bruntlett will hit a huge HR against Philly just to shut us up.
Moyer
Jamie Moyer wins 42 games to become the final 300 game winner in MLB history.
This might be his competition
Now, there is little wonder why Milton Bradley’s name keeps popping up when “pipebomb” is googled.
