Remember, I conceded after Game 3 in 2004

Well, the first gimmick week at SoxandPhils ends today with my picks. Here they are:

NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Reds
NL West: Diamondbacks
NL Wild Card: Rockies

AL East: Red Sox
AL Central: Indians
AL West: Mariners
AL Wild Card: Tigers

World Series: Red Sox over Diamondbacks, 4-1

AL MVP: Slappy (regular season)
AL Cy Young: Erik Bedard
AL ROY: Jacoby Ellsbury

NL MVP: Chase Utley
NL Cy Young: Jake Peavy
NL ROY: Kosuke Fukodome

First manager fired: Willie Randolph, but Joe Girardi will have a long suspension as he tries to kill his opponents.
First team with a player suspended for drugs: Orioles - bad team, history of drugs.
Next team to be rumored to sign Bonds or Clemens: Panicked New Yorkers - Bonds for Mets, Clemens for the Empire.

My NL East prediction is correct because: To quote Ric Flair, "To be the man, you have to beat the man." In the NL East, the Phils are the man and the Mets are geriatric.

Tomorrow: Back to normal, through probably a bit shorter than most weekend posts.
