Now that we’re entering the second half of the season, what do we think will happen. An email containing FOX’s predictions became a thread containing all of our predictions. I will paste them here for posterity (and gloating rights come October).
Manlio’s:
Those are all good questions. I think:
1. the AL east comes down to the wire, [...]

Yanks played it tight for a while and then Torre fell victim (again!) to the “One Inning Too Many” theory on Jaret Wright and got quickly blown out. Oh Well - we took 2 of [...]

The weather in NY has been really crappy recently and yesterday’s Yanks/Sox contest fell victim to it so this 4 game series has now been shortened to a 3 game series with last night’s scheduled starters (Schilling and Wright) scheduled to go tonight.

Our beaten and bruised Yankees (starting lineup) are up in Boston for another 3 game set. We have been without Matsui, Sheffield and Posada for the weekend and Bubba Crosby and Shawn Chacon were just placed on the 15 day DL. This is why we are signing people like Erubiel Durazo, Terrence Long and Richard [...]
