It just goes to show you how much the Red Sox were really hyped up. Didn't realize the Braves had that kinda hype either.


LMFAO @ Dave O'Brien and Steve Berthiaume's predictions. (read them carefully)

Only 1 or 2 people picked the Tigers. NO one picked the D-backs.

Enjoy.
@cool ...lol I know right?
O'Brien picked the Braves to win the NL East and NL Wild Card....LOL...I guess the braves were going to be so good they win both the wild card and division, but surpassing their extreme talents are the phillies not actually being in the playoffs to win the NL and losing to the Red Sox in the WS
 
You know it's not just ESPN, right?
CBS Sports had the Red Sox winning the AL East, the Braves the NL Wild Card:

Fox Sports had the Red Sox and Braves make the postseason:

And Sports Illustrated:

And the Sporting News:

And MLB.com:

This website that simply ran the season through a computer program a bunch of times had the Red Sox:

Heck, this YANKEES FAN WEBSITE had the Red Sox winning the AL East:

See how, of the 10 of them, 9 picked the Red Sox to win the AL East? Of course, only three had them winning the WS- they're still Yankees fans.
