Predictions!

... Its baseball's Opening Day today! Here are my prediction for the Blue Jays this year.

The Blue Jays will finished with 83 wins this year. Yes, they finish just above .500. And they will finish 4th in the AL East. The division will finish as follows: Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, Devil Rays, Orioles.

Some fun player predictions:
  • Kyle 'The Future' Drabek will finish with a modest 13 wins
  • Dustin McGowan will make it back to the big club in July (coming out of the bullpen)
  • Brett Lawrie will get the call in mid-June
  • Vernon Wells will NOT win the Triple Crown this year
  • Travis Snider will hit 27 HRs and be healthy for the season
  • JoBau will hit 33 HRs (and drive in 107 RBIs)

Vancouver Canucks ...

... are the greatest team this year.

They have clinched the Western Conference title BEFORE ANY of the other teams have clinched a playoff spot! Detroit has 98 points and still has not clinched a playoff spot. I guess this is more attributed to the fact that the Western Conference is ridiculously close from like 4th - 10th).

Its going to be too bad if they meet up with the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, as the Canucks have had difficulty with the young 'Hawks team in the past (plus they are 2-2 in regular season play).

E5 is back!

... While trolling the Internet I have learned this awesome tid-bit of information:

Edwin 'E5 formerly E3 formerly E5' Encarnacion is back at 3rd base and JoBau is going back to RF. (http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/29/blue-jays-settle-on-jose-bautista-in-right-field-and-edwin-encarnacion-at-third-base/)

This sort of puzzles me because, where is Juan Rivera going to start? DH possibly? Is he hurting (leg injury)? Or maybe they are going to deal him for an actual 1st baseman? Does AA have a crazy deal up his sleeve? Maybe E5 will actually be good defensively ... oh wait, I should put down my beer(s) and sleep on that thought.

McGowan Relief ...

... yes. Our favourite baseball player Dustin McGowan is moving into a relief role!


This is to limit the number of pitches he throws for his comeback! My expectations, we'll be seeing number 29 in big leagues some time in June ... maybe July - just in time for that playoff run! PLAYOFFS!!!!!!111 - And after they deal Francisco, Rauch and several other relievers for prospects

Tom Brady ...

... is such a copycat.
About 4 years after I cut my hair*, Tom Brady, now, is sporting an excellent pony tail too! Check out the photos here:

Just makes me think that I'm way ahead of the curve. Just think, Tom Brady will soon be wearing Futurama t-shirts with collared t-shirts. Or maybe he'll watch The Wrong Guy and think its the funniest movie ever. Cuz it is the funniest movie ever.

Oh, aside of Tom Brady's awesome pony tail, Travis Snider is sporting an awesome mustache:

He has even tweeted about it!

I support you and your effort to grow a glorious 'tashe! Don't give up!

*which I really should still have it because the Leafs have yet to make the playoffs since I made that proclamation where I wouldn't cut my hair until they were knocked out the playoffs (ie. they have to make the playoffs to get knocked out) but we don't talk about this.
