A look back on my predictions:

At the half way point of the season, here is a look back at my predictions before the start of the season:

AL
R.O.Y: I picked Brain Anderson who has sucked. Verlander has been great, but he would be 3rd on my half season ROY list. I will go with Papelbon over Lirano because Papelbon’s games have been more pressure packed and I am homer.

Cy Young: I picked Roy Holladay and I am standing by this decision even though cases can be made for both Papelbon and Lirano as well.

MVP: I picked Manny, but for the first half of the year I have to go with Papi.

Manager: I picked Jim Leyland and if the Tigers keep this up he will win this award unanimously

Divisions and Wild Card: So far I am right about the Red Sox being in first. I thought the Tigers would be better, but not where they are. I picked Chicago in first place and they are only a few games out. I picked Texas in the west; they were leading for a while but Oakland past them and I must admit the A’s will most likely win this division. I picked Cleveland for Wild Card, but there bad bull pen and mediocre starting pitching combined with being in a surprisingly tough division means they don’t have a shot in hell at getting the wild card now.

NL.

The NL is such a joke I am not going to waste time writing about them.
