CONTEST: Are you an Amazing Kreskin when it comes to baseball?
Mike Hlas Apr. 4, 2010 12:34 am
I love contests that reward foresight. For instance, I thought it was pretty darn cool of me to have Butler playing Duke in the NCAA basketball national-title game.
Of course, I made that prediction after Butler beat Michigan State in the first game of Saturday's national semifinals. Before the tourney started? I had, I don't know, Kansas and some other teams. Who keeps track?
But with the major-league baseball season starting Sunday night -- just like it has dating back to the days of the Chicago Black Sox -- let's see what you good people can predict about Baseball 2010.
Here are the three things I want from you:
1. New York Yankees' number of wins
2. Chicago Cubs' number of wins
Third, and please read this carefully ...
3. The number of wins of any other team you want (you must specify the team)
What's the prize for the best overall forecaster? I don't know yet. But I get free stuff here and there, so I'll have something tangy by October.
Now if you'll excuse me, Dick Vitale just came on ESPN to talk about Duke, so I have to hurry off to hit the mute button.
The Amazing Kreskin says the Expos will win 97 games this year
