Busy
living the American Dream of searching for a job in this awesome economy, I
have neglected my baseball blogging but my main man Bryce Harper and his two opening day home runs have inspired me to get back to
work. It makes sense to start with season predictions so here we go. I am going
to split this up into an introduction to how I am making my predictions this
year, my AL predictions, and then my NL predictions. So if Bryce has hit 5
homeruns by the time the NL predictions come out and the Nationals are undefeated,
I promise that--regardless of the date of publication of my posts--the
predictions were not affected by the early season results.
I
recently mused before the start of March Madness that I have consistently
placed in the top 5-10 in bracket pools (11 out of 13 years) and, lo and behold,
the tournament is down to the Final Four and I again leading the pool I am in
with my bracket titled “The Fightin’ Blue Waffles” (99th
percentile). I have a basic formula that usually works and can be broken into 4
basic steps.
