Bold Prediction Time....
 

Here it is: The Twins are going to win the AL Central. :banger

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Matt...what are you drinking so early this morning? :r :r r

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

The Central is terrible, the Twins are 6 back behind 3 choke artists, are always a second half team, and are finally starting to get healthy. Yeah, so I work nights and am drinking... doesn't mean this ain't happening!

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

While I agree this division is terrible...Mauer and Cuddyer HAVE to stay healthy and produce. Span hasn't done JACK this year and the pitching is getting no run support. Gonna take a total collapse of the Sox, Tribe and Tigers for this to happen.

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

If they go out and get some help via trade, I might agree. They need a true frontline starter. Liriano has the stuff, but is far too inconsistent. Pavano is an innings eater, but isn't a stud. Baker shows flashes, but seems to get hurt at the wrong times. The other guys are young and/or inconsistent. And Morneau has to come back truly healthy and playing like he did at the start of last year. I'd love to be drinking the Bullseye Kool Aid, but unless they make a few changes/upgrades, I have a hard time seeing it. The Tiggers seem to own us this year. :(

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Gotta go and bring logic into it...just believe man, they are the only local team that doesn't always let us down. It'll happen.

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

The Sox WILL collapse. They do every year, and always fold to the Twins. IT's a hump that Ozzie can't get them over. Who knows when Span will see the field again, with his concussion. He was playing well when he went down, but Revere has replaced him fairly well. Young hasn't done jack this year, but seems to be getting his bat on track. I never worry about Cuddy's health. Mauer is as fragile as a kid with brittle bone disease, it seems. But at least his starting to come around at the plate. As far as no run support goes, how about NOT giving up 27 hits and 20 runs in one game? :p

Dude, I'm a f'ing chemist. I live in logic. :p

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

"Predictions" aren't bold....putting your money (or cigars) where your mouth is is bold. ;)

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Pretty much put $50 on the Twins every year...keeps thing interesting enough for me.

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

But if you are so certain they will pass the Indians, Sox and Tigers, why not up the stakes?

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Wanna bet on Cincy being above Chicago at the end of the season again, Admiral?:r

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

THAT would be bold! ;)

I am looking to bet a nicer 5'er that the Twins don't win the AL Central...the Twins are behind 3 choke artists, are always a second half team, and are finally starting to get healthy, so why wouldn't someone want that bet? :D

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Let's do it...you're on buddy. Not sure I like my odds on this one.

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

:confused:
Weren't you the one who made the prediction?

I like your chances!:tu

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

So what if they win the division??? Talk to me if they win some playoff games:D

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

Do you remember 2008?

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

I wouldn't have bet if I didn't think it would happen, just meant that the odds are against.

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

That's what I'm talking about....Kudos for stepping up, Matt. :)

Re: Bold Prediction Time....
 

No I don't. :p
