February 11, 200521 yr The predictions seem pretty evened up this year, instead of us being the unanimous pick. I like it.
February 11, 200521 yr Author Dye had a .265-23-80 season in Oakland, so those numbers could increase with the move to U.S. Cellular, and Everett contributed little between nagging injuries after being acquired in a mid-season deal. Both are only 31, so it’s not as if they’re on the downside yet. Ummm, Jermaine Dye is 31 but Carl Everett is 33. That's a pretty bad mistake in the article there.

February 11, 200521 yr dude also has the Cubs winning the NL central. Methinks he's a Chicago native.

February 11, 200521 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) dude also has the Cubs winning the NL central. Methinks he's a Chicago native. I dunno 3x10^8, I think he may be on to something. 90 wins? Jeesh.
February 11, 200521 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) dude also has the Cubs winning the NL central. Methinks he's a Chicago native. Has any columnist or radio guy in Chicago picked us for anything? Also I don't think it's a far reach that he picked the Cubs..they're pretty good

Also I don't think it's a far reach that he picked the Cubs..they're pretty good I don't think the Cubs are going to win their division but I don't htink it's a reach, as Cheat has mentioned plenty of times, the NL Central isn't very good.

February 11, 200521 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) Not very good as in it's the worst division in the majors I said not very good, GOSH, give me a break.
February 11, 200521 yr yeah astro's are like an avg team this year kind of like tigers in our division and than pirates, brewers, and cincy are easy. But they do have a great 1 2 punch with the cardinals and cubs.
February 11, 200521 yr theres nothing wrong with being the underdog, less pressure right? the cards werent expected to do s*** the cubs were favored to win the cental and w.s.....look who came out on top ........ :fthecubs
February 11, 200521 yr Well there goes our Underdog status, but really who cares. I couldn't care less who's predictes to come first in each division etc., the only thing that matters is actually being on top come October.

Well, just cause NBC Sports guy picked us doesn't mean that's the consensus..he's like the only guy..so don't worry, we still have our underdog status If that really means anything..
February 11, 200521 yr Well, there's less then a week before pitchers and catchers report, nothing is really going on right now, all these publications are starting to make predictions. Anyone think it's time for the official soxtalk predictions thread?? or still to early?

I think we should wait till everybody has reported to ST in my opinion...Pitchers, catchers, and position players
February 11, 200521 yr IIRC, we were the underdogs last year too...or if we weren't, we should have been. That didn't work out so well for us either. Who gives a flyin' f*** what the media has to say? If you give a s*** about that stuff, you've already lost half the battle.
