Sports Illustrated doesn’t seem to like the Mets chances in this upcoming season, picking New York to finish dead last in the NL East with a projected record of 74-88. Meanwhile, ESPN thinks a little more highly of the Mets, picking New York to finish 3rd (though that may just be the typical “Eastern Sports Preferred Network” way of mildly exciting and deluding a starving fan base of a big market club.
Anyhow, I sit in the middle of the aforementioned. I have Boston overtaking Philadelphia in the World Series. I picked the Giants to win it all last year, but sadly I have no way to prove this. But, if I’m right this year, I’ll have Jason to thank for providing me the forum to show off my incredibly adventurous and risky (sarcasm) picks.
