My "high hopes" for the Reds
As I write this post, Ken Griffey Jr. has just hit homerun #595. It looks like if he continues at this rate, he'll have 600 by late May, or early June. My prediction for the Reds ending place on the standings is 2ndto last, right above Houston. I predict that they will end with a record of 87-77. Thhats jsut above a .500 average, which compared to their previous seasons is a big improvement. I wish they would make it to the post season, but with so many players being left on base, and the runs not being scored I just don't see how it is possible. I do think the Indians havea good chance though. I don't see much wrong with their lineup and they are doing well right now, so if all goes well, they'll be in the post season, and maybe even the world series. By the end of the season, if the Orioles are still leading the AL east, I think they will be the biggest underdogs in baseball history. Everyone predicted they would crumble and fall to bottom to the division, even me, but so far, they are first. I doubt it will last much longer though, by June they'll be near hte bottom and by September, will ultimately be in dead last. Did you hear thestory about a worker burying a Redsox jersey in the cement in tje New Yankee Stadium? It was an attmept to curse the Yanks, and get back at them. Luckily, the worker was discovered and the jersey was dug up, thus preventing a possible curse on the Yankees. You can''t have hte #1 team in baseball be cursed, it would be almost unamerican. This just shows how desperate those Redsox are to win, they have to go out of their way and cheat to win. Thats no way to play baseball, their like Barry Bonds, they cheat to achieve victory. Even if they don't get caught, they will still have a conscience and know that what they did was wrong and should feel their "victory" was a hollow victory. Well thats all from the world of Baseball for now, tune in later for more exciting events from the MLB.
