It's been awhile folks and for that I apologize. Not only am I temporarily crippled from trying to stop a moving car, but I work at a job where I am able to be on a computer and I still haven't posted lately. Some predictions:
Prediction #1. Ubaldo Jimenez will win at least 26 games this year for the Rockies while losing less than 9....but his ERA will rise to over 2 by the end of the season. In the long term he will go on to win 2 Cy Young awards, and probably won't make the Hall of Fame because he will eventually test positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs. Gotta love the MLB, right?
Prediction #2. This isn't much of a stretch but.....Derek Fisher's elbow is going to find the face of someone from the Celtics sometime during the NBA Finals. He has been known to be one of the toughest and most physical (sometimes looked upon as cheap) players in the game and won't back down if he feels that he needs to stick up for himself or one of his teammates. Luis Scola knows how this works firsthand.
Prediction #3. If the Celtics win the championship: Kevin Garnett will not give another interview where none of us can understand what he is saying because he's screaming the whole time. However, I don't rule out a few random screams in the middle of the interview. Here's his interview after his first championship. Notice he does give a shoutout to us Minnesota fans. "This is for everybody in 'Sota"
Prediction #4. If the Lakers win the championship: Kobe will cement his place in history as one of the winningest players in history and Phil Jackson will retire despite the rumors that will pair him with Lebron in who knows what town. We will also see another ridiculously dumb celebration by Adam Morrison like these that he has done in the past.
Prediction #5. The Lakers win the championship. Adam Morrison cries.
Prediction #6. Getting my hourly wage that I am getting here at work while writing this is going to be the most someone ever pays me to write. 1) I am just not that good.. 2) In this economy, people like spending their money on more reasonable things like large SUV's and Kit Kat bar's... 3) Rick Reilly isn't old enough for me to take over his job yet... 4) I won't seek a writing job because I am going to replace Andrew Bynum as the Lakers center. I hear my knee is better off than both of his are and I would actually try during the game.
Prediction #7. Garrett Wittels won't break Robin Ventura's 58 game hit streak. He will get drafted in the next MLB draft somewhere before the 20th round because of this hit streak.
Prediction #8. In desperation after Favre retires, the Vikings bring Jamarcus Russell in for a tryout and think they see a franchise quarterback in him, sign him to a multi-year deal, and move him to guard where he becomes a Pro Bowl player.
Prediction #9. Tiger Woods doesn't win a Major within a year of his 'accident' that has made him more famous than his golfing ever did.
Prediction #10. Not so much a prediction but just a thought....does anyone else wonder what went on at the after party last night for Duke's Lacrosse team after they won the championship yesterday? After all of the different scandal and allegations in 2006 I can't help but be curious.....
