Heard any good ones lately?Well, today, Sports Illustrated pulled its greatest April Fool's prank since George Plimpton introduced Sidd Finch to the world in 1985, picking the Mets to win the World Series.
I can't even type that with a straight face.
After three straight years, it's getting painful to watch the Mets fans get crushed at the last possible minute. Shouldn't we temper their expectations?
Here's one Mets fan, Endy in the Outfield, from Only Time Will Tell, who hasn't given up hope after three harsh years. He leads off the SoxandPhils annual preseason predictions.
NL East: New York Mets
NL Central: Milwaukee Brewers
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
Wild Card: Chicago Cubs
AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central: Cleveland Indians
AL West: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Wild Card: Minnesota Twins
World Series: New York Mets vs. Boston Red Sox
[I assume if he's crazy enough to pick the Mets over the Phillies, he's picking them to win it all against the Red Sox.]
NL MVP: David Wright, New York Mets
NL ROY: Todd Frazier, Cincinnati Reds
NL Cy Young: Johan Santana, New York Mets
AL MVP: Grady Sizemore, Cleveland Indians
AL ROY: David Price, Tampa Bay Rays
AL Cy Young: Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox
Who will be the next player revealed from the list of 104 who tested positive for steroids in 2003? I'm not interested in talking about the past.
First manager fired? Ozzie Gullien
Who's the first team to be called "this year’s Rays?" Cleveland Indians
Which team's disappointing season will be attributed to players participating in the World Baseball Classic? It will affect every team. I am against the WBC 100%.
