Update on my bold predictions

As you may know, over the course of the summer I made a couple of baseball predictions that I considered bold, or at least bold at the time. I'm kind of short on time tonight, so I'll just give a quick update on them, and see if you think I'll be right or horribly wrong.

- First, in early June, I made a prediction that the Cubs would win the NL Central. At the time, they were 7 games under .500 and 6.5 games back of the Milwaukee Brewers. But still, I was confident that they would rebound and even made a bet with Joe from The Sports Flow.

Right now, they are 4 games over .500 and tied for first with the Brewers. I still feel pretty good about this, and think the Brewers will toil around the .500 mark while the Cubs will wind up with 85-90 wins.

- My other prediction was made in mid-July, and that was that the Yankees would win the AL East. At the time they were 3 games over .500 and 8 games behind the Red Sox.

Barring an amazing comeback (as I write this) against the Angels, they will finish the day 14 games above .500 but 6 games back of the Red Sox. As I kind of feared, they would be a lot better, but it would be tough to overcome a very good Red Sox team. I don't feel as good about this prediction obviously, but they still have a shot, with 6 games still remaining against the BoSox.

What are your thoughts? How many of these predictions will I get right?

I think your Yankees prediction may be dead in the water but it was still a pretty good one ito make f you ask me. I like it when people will go out on a limp with their predictions.

The Cubs prediciton is looking pretty nice!

looks like you might be right with the Cubs, but I think the Yanks only chance is the wild-card. Being a Mariner fan, and a little bias, I think the M's are going to take it and NY won't make the playoffs.
Being a twins fans, what do you think the chances are of Santana signing an extention next year?

I'm getting more and more pessimistic about the Twins chances to sign him by the day. I think he might take some type of discount, but even so he'll be really, really expensive.

The Cubs will not win it. Comes September and they'll feel the pressure and fall. I'm picking the Cards.
