Nah.

Liriano will obviously be spectacular.

1)Lets at least be accurate here...I don't remember specifically saying Peavy would not go the entire season with an ERA under 2, but I think I may have said that I don't expect he would remain as effective as he was early and that he would wind up on the DL before the season ends.
2) The Cubs did re-stock their farm system with the trades made in the last 24 hours and whether the deals were good, great or poor, cannot be judged anytime soon. It will be 2-3 years before these deals can truely be judged.
3) What I said about Soriano, was that the Cubs should not trade unless they get a good prospect in return. To give away a guy that has 20 homers in the last 2 months and is on pace for 107-108 RBI is stupid. They have very few run producers, with LaHair driving in just 9 runs in the past 2 months. Besides, even if they put Jackson in center and shift DeJesus back to RF, with nobody else really ready to take over an OF spot, it's not as if Soriano is retarding the progress of a player ready to take over a spot in the outfield.

4) fixed

Yet another post full of FAIL.

Boilermaker Rick asked what the Sox record is within the division. You are the go to guy when it comes to crunching numbers, so I figured I would leave this one up to you.

How many shows will you be calling tomorrow to say that trading veterans for prospects is a step in the right direction?

Thank you for being so gracious with your predictions, I know it must be so difficult to post your incorrect assumptions apparently based on nothing more than "the Sox are bad are because I want them to be and am jealous"...

I was worried about the Tigers back in early April even!!!

If you werent worried about the best team (on paper) in your division then you were either naive, full meatball or clairvoyant.

_________________

is that supposed to say Wasnt?

How is it wrong, meatballish, or naive to predict that a team will under perform? Its not like I said the Sox were going to win 110 games. I have said all along that I thought the Tigers would underachieve and not win the division. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

Maybe the only issue with that is that I have been right all along and the rest of you are little irked by that because I'm often labeled as the King Sox Meatball around here.

_________________

Maybe I'm hung up about the word 'worried'. To me that implies you never considered the Tigers a threat. Since they were the division favorites, it seems odd you would not think they could be a threat to win the division.

You could think they might underachieve, but to think that they could not win the division seems like you got very lucky in being a Sox homer or you are one of this generations premier baseball minds.

_________________

I had a feeling the Tigers would not be very good. I never wavered from that position. As strongly as I felt about the Tigers being just so-so, I was never worried about them. I didn't mean to dismiss them and never, ever thought the Sox would coast to a division title, but I just thought the Tigers would underachieve and therefore I was worried way more about the Sox blowing it than I ever was the Tigers going on a run and passing the Sox.

Keep in mind, lots of baseball experts were ready just to hand the Tigers the AL Central before pitch 1 was even thrown. Wouldn't they be just as big of a meatball as I apparently was?

I mean, its not like I said something stupid like Brett Jackson is going to be better than Mike Trout!

Not the case....just accurate and insightful. Lets see....Sale's late start -gave up 4 runs in just 4 innings in a loss. Tonight 4 runs in 6 innings in probably another loss. The predictions are just very accurate. The Sox should have shut him down. He might get through this season. But because of the wear, he will likely break down early next season. I'll look back on this prediction and say I told you so about this too.

So, you were wrong about him being hurt this season, so you just extended your prediction until next season... You going to just keep pushing back his injury prediction until he's actually injured and claim you were right all along? Kind of funny.
Your predictions aren't even close to "very accurate". In fact I wouldn't really give you "kinda accurate" or even "somewhat accurate" because the word accurate requires accuracy, which your predictions lack.

Accurate and insightful are two words that should never be used when describing Steve's verbal diarrhea.

Steve should get back to watching his shitbucket team lose 100 games this season.
