(Last place) They are much closer on the Sox prediction.
October 3, 200916 yr The funny part is that they thought 74 wins would finish last place in a 5 team division. The exaggerated records were biased enough, but slapping last place on the end of it isn't even trying to cover it up. Yes, I realize it happened last year, but that's rare.

I thought about making a thread title-Dumbass Chicago Journalists Hall of Fame-were we can post all of the stupid articles from the Cubune and Scum Times.
