Bold Predictions vs. Actual Results: AL

AL East
New York Yankees......CORRECT
Tampa Bay Rays.........Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox...........Tampa Bay Rays
Toronto Blue Jays.........CORRECT
Baltimore Orioles...........Boston Red Sox

Total Correct: 2/5


My comments here were so, so incorrect.


Comments: Another tough call here, once you get past the Yankees.  I wanted to put the Blue Jays third, but how can I dismiss the Red Sox?  The Orioles are going to be terrible, I think everyone already knows that.  The saving grace for the O's is that Camden Yards is a great place to watch a ball game. 


AL Central
Detroit Tigers...........CORRECT
Minnesota Twins........Chicago White Sox
Chicago White Sox........Kansas City Royals
Kansas City Royals........Cleveland Indians
Cleveland Indians...........Minnesota Twins

Total Correct: 1/5

Comments: None that were close to correct.

AL West
Texas Rangers..............Oakland A's (WHAT?!?)
Los Angeles Angels.......Texas Rangers
Seattle Mariners.............LA Angels of Anaheim
Oakland A's....................Seattle Mariners

Total Correct: 0/4

Comments: None that were close to correct.

Total number correct: 3/14 or 21% or TERRIBLE!

So what did I learn? I learned that a MLB season is completely unpredictable, no matter what the preseason predictions are.  I learned I am horrible at guessing such things.  I also learned how much fun it is that there are new teams in the hunt this year!
