Cheech Tremendous

So technically the season is underway, but that's only because money-hungry MLB decided to have the first game of America's pastime in Tokyo. Let's get everyone's predictions down in one place so that we can look back a few months down the line and realize how poorly we did. (x- denotes Wild Card) AL East NY Yankees x- Boston Tampa Bay Toronto Baltimore Thoughts: Boston and New York will both win 90+ games, but I think the hitting and pitching depth will put the Yankees over the top. Tampa Bay will surprise everyone by going .500 and staying in the race until September. Toronto might be the 6th best team in the AL, but they catch the breaks of being in the best division in baseball. AL Central Cleveland Detroit Chicago Minnesota Kansas City Thoughts: I see no discernible difference between Cleveland and Detroit right now as I feel the offseason moves on the Tigers part are going to improve the team only marginally. It's going to come down to injuries and depth and I feel that Indians will be better able to cope with losses over the course of the year. The other three teams get to meander around the 70 win mark. AL West LA Angels Seattle Oakland Texas Thoughts: The worst division in baseball. The Angels will coast and win the division by ten plus games. Seattle regresses big time and the other two teams end up better than we expected when the kids start to click around mid-season. NL East NY Mets Atlanta Philadelphia Washington Florida Thoughts: The Mets run away from the division and the rest of the National League behind their hitting and pitching. Atlanta and Philly fight for the Wild Card all year, but are ultimately upstaged. NL Central Chicago Cubs x- Milwaukee Cincinnati St. Louis Houston Pittsburgh Thoughts: The Cubs and Brewers both take another step ahead to become real title contenders. Cincinnati and St. Louis both hang until after the All-Star break but then are left behind because of each team's massive flaws (Dusty Baker and pitching, respectively). NL West Arizona LA Dodgers Colorado San Diego San Francisco Thoughts: I see Arizona with a slight advantage here because of the pitching and continued growth of their young players, but in reality any of the top four could take it. San Fran will be the worst team in the league.

Sorry man. You should totally send me some facts about yourself for the "Guess That Poster" game.

Looks like it was in the garage for a few years for some re-tooling... it didn't help.

He has to save something for the next one.

Is that the Cheerful Tortoise?

Where are the guesses? This is a well-known poster.

So the Cubs signed Reed Johnson today. Where does that leave Matt Murton? Are they out on Coco Crisp?

I was surprised that King got me so fast. I thought most people viewed me as the baseball stat nerd from somewhere near Portland.

Mystery poster #whatever:

Yes! Venkman's on fire.

This one might stump a few...

Yes, it's VX. We're cooking now.

Next

Yeah, it's me. That didn't last long.

Next poster please...

Ok so it's been more than 12 hours and many guesses have been made with no success. The last poster was pujoljunkie. Congrats on being the first to stump the board. Sorry to hear about that arm wrestling match.

Nobody has it yet. I'll keep this poster up for a few more hours until I reveal who it is.

Hopefully his online contact doesn't play him for a fool like poor JN News.

EDIT: Nevermind

New poster...

It's twiztedmind! KKC is killing it tonight.

Not just that, he's taking over as head of basketball operations for the Knicks. Hey New York, your long nightmare might finally be over. ESPN Link

Hopefully this one will take a while so I can enjoy my evening without constantly checking the thread:

Yes, it was the good doctor himself, Venkman!

Next...
