This is what I predicted on this site several weeks ago and I stand by it.
“Yankees record: 96-66, Wild card winner.  They beat the Red Sox in the ALCS.  Go on to beat the Phillies in the World Series.”
You guys are a bunch of wimps… giving up already.  Where’s your spirit?  Where’s your pride?  C’mon, [...]

We are a day away from the 2011 campaign, and there is no excitement on this site. Despite feeling the Yankees are going to finish in third, I think we’re going to have an exciting summer of baseball.
AL East:
Boston 94 wins
Toronto 89 wins
New York 87 wins
Tampa Bay 85 wins
Baltimore 82 wins

Too much doom and gloom on this site lately.  Here’s what I think

Jeter: .309 6 HR 69 RBI – Agree.  Nice bounce back
A-Rod: .285 37 HR 122 RBI – Takes 3rd place in MVP voting
Teixeira: .277 39 HR 115 RBI
Cano: .313 25 HR 99RBI – Agree
Swisher: .298 19 HR 89 RBI – Agree
Martin: .281 8 HR 51 [...]

On July 21 I wrote down my predictions of what the AL East would look like on September 1. On August 11, I published those predictions here.  Lets see how I did:

Team
Prediction
Actual
Diff

Yankees
83-49
82-50
-1

Rays
79-53
81-51
+2

Sox
76-56
74-58
-2

Pretty much nailed the Yankees performance (the KC series split 2-2 instead of 3-1 is essentially the difference), and slightly underestimated the Rays.  I did [...]

That is the Yankees record in the 2nd half so far.  13-11 since the All-Star break and 3-6 in August. The test vs Tam, Tor, Boston and Tex (4-7 so far) has been a failure.  And today they face Cliff Lee.   Good Luck.  I place most of the blame for this on the offense, which has [...]

The Yankees have had one of the toughest schedules so far this season (6th toughest with .510 oppoenents winning %)-(Boston has had the toughest at .521).  Tampa has had the third easiest (.487 opponents win %).  With Cleveland in the rear view mirror and the following teams coming up in June, its time for the Yankees to [...]

Here’s a little update on our projections for A-Rod and where he is today…..
ALEX - as of 9/28 – 123 Hits, 28 HR, 93 RBI .285 AVG
Predictions….

John B  – 126 H, 29 HR, 95 RBI, .281
John S – 126H, 32 HR, 91 RBI, .272 AVG
Joe – 125 H, 30 HR, 100 RBI, .279 AVG
Ellen – 127 H, [...]

Here are A-Rod’s stats through last night.  What will they be at the end of the regular season?  Let’s see which Roundtabler comes closest. There are 25 games left.  Don’t know what the prize will be, but we’ll think of something.  Two points for the closest in each category.  Ties get one point each.  Ellen, [...]

Ok here’s my crazy predictions (guaranteed not to happen). Also guaranteed to excite John B like a teenage boy on Prom night because they involve ridiculous trades and spending like drunken sailors. Without further adieu.
Trades
Matt Holliday – Acquired in 3 way trade with Colorado and Seattle. Matsui to Seattle for Ryan [...]
