I have come up with 10 semi-possibly-bold predictions for the 2010 Phillies season. I'll revisit these things as the season goes and remind everyone how horrendously stupid I am.
1. Roy Halladay will win 22 games along with the NL Cy Young Award
2. The Phillies will win 100 games (in the regular season)
3. Ryan Howard will hit over .290 and win MVP
4. Jamie Moyer will become a great-grandfather
5. Raul Ibanez will miss significant time with some type of injury, and John Mayberry will end up hitting 15 home runs this season serving as his replacement
6. Shane Victorino will lead our team in batting average for the 3rd consecutive season (And yes, you read that right. He did lead our team each of the past 2 seasons in batting average)
7. I will have a brain aneurysm listening to the Phillies broadcast team (obviously the television team, not the poetry that is Scott Franzke and Larry Anderson on the radio)
8. JA Happ will end up with the highest ERA of our regular starting pitchers after having the lowest last season
9. A Phillies pitcher will throw a no-hitter this season. And it won't be Roy Halladay
10. The Phillies will win the NL East for the 4th straight time, the NL for the 3rd straight time, and the World Series for the 2nd time in 3 years. They'll beat the Minnesota Twins in 6 games.
Feel more than free to leave comments with your own predictions or comments on mine
jason werth's beard will get awesomer, if that's possible.
ReplyDeleteA high batting average in the 7-hole? I'm worried about that.
ReplyDeleteBiggest Questions of the Offseason: Why is Scott Kalas still with the Rays? And why do I still have to listen to nine innings of T-Mac? And why is Sarge only in for three innings? Is Wheels really twice as good as Sarge? No, no he is not.
i would love to hear the calming voice of Larry Anderson along with the hilarious pointless comments of Sarge on the television broadcast and i want it for all but i guess 1 innning (i'll be nice and give them a bathroom break) but by no means will Christopher Wheeler be allowed within 5,280 ft (that's 1 mile) of the booth of any stadium.
