Background: 03/17/10 This was a fun little BatB preview for the season. You can decide how these predictions have held up so far.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, Spring Training is in full swing, and it won’t be long until the season is upon us. With that in mind, I give you ten predictions for this coming year and our Cardinals. In no particular order...
1.) Tony La Russa will be a stubborn bastard. You heard it here first, folks.
2.) Albert Pujols will be a badass, despite several rumored injuries that don’t really seem to exist.
3.) Yadier Molina will try and throw out a base stealer, and actually throw the ball completely through Skip Schumaker.
4.) The DeWitts will raise ticket prices, and continue to put on this act like they don’t have any money.
5.
) Ryan Ludwick will drive in a million runs with the bases empty, and the Cardinals ahead 10-0, but strikeout 150 times when the game is tied in the late innings.
6.) Matt Holiday will suffer a severe jaw injury misplaying a fly ball while trying to count all the zeroes in his new contract.
7.) Mark McGwire will pop a pimple.
8.) A big name relief pitcher that would instantly make us a World Series favorite will become available, and Mozeliak will stay away from him like he has ‘the Clap.’
9.) John Mozeliak will make a move for a position player,completely ignoring the fact, for the first time in months, that our bullpen blows.
10.) Ryan Franklin will abruptly remember that he’s never actually been very good at pitching, and blow 15 to 20 saves in a row.
