Great predictions (#1)
by Jackson Govatos on Sat Jul 15 2006 at 4:24 AM EST

But the Tigers and White Sox can't meet in the first round of the playoffs due to the rule that kept the Red Sox and Yankees from playing in past years. Either way, I think these teams will meet in the playoffs at some point. Detroit has all the tools to surprise Boston and make a World Series run.

if the yanks sweep the white sox (#2)

good article (#3)

but how can Josh Beckett be considered an incredible pick-up? as of today (7/15), he is 11-5 with a 5.12 era. seems rather mediocre to me.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure how the playoff matchups would go because of the rules, but either way, I see Boston meeting the Mets in the World Series.
As for Beckett, you're right, he has been just mediocre, but he did start off incredibly. The other players I named have been incredible pickups, but I should've said Beckett was just a 'pretty good pickup'.

Good Picks, hope they are right (#5)

I am a Red Sox fans, so a Game 6 against the Mets, especially 20 years after the fact will be sweet if we can do it, but gut wrenching in the same respect. I liked the picks except for one thing, the Padres are not going to drop to fourth in that division. I think the Giants might still be sellers this month and the Rockies are too young. I think the Padres have a shot at the Wild Card if the Dodgers get by them.

good stuff (#6)

another great column JD.

Perhaps we can get you on the podcast to talk about the NL.

You know Vin, I'd love to do it, but I don't even know what it is. If someone can just tell me how it works and what it is it sounds like something that would be fun to do. Just let me know.

Wow (#8)

Hey nice predictions. Especially with that AL central race! "Now I can't say (The Twins)will contend for the wild card". Hmmm it seems as if they are contending for the division lead. They led yesterday, and are behind a half game with 9 games left. OH and I'm sorry to hear about your pick of the Cleveland Indians to win the world series. Whoops.
