So I go out with this girl the other day on a date. I’m Grey, and I’m playing the field! I take her to this pizza place. It wasn’t particularly fancy, but they had good reviews and oil on the table for bread dipping, so it wasn’t Round Table either. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Oh, sure, there was a pretender to the title. That guy who pointed to the stands and delivered HIS home run. But, hey, it was just ONE prediction. Sure, a bunch of you can make one prediction. One projection. But I, Simply Fred, thought we should put the pundits to the test. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Theo Epstein will play Brett Jackson, right? I mean, a new GM can toss out the used-up-and-spit-out pieces he inherits, right? It’s like when a new boss comes into a flailing company and all the employees start quaking in their boots that they’re gonna get fired because they’re unproductive.
