10 May Day Predictions

by RJK on May 1, 2009 12:00 PM EDT in Baseball

1. All 4 starters for the NL West teams (Peavy, Kershaw, Jimenez, Johnson) pitching on Friday will post Quality Starts despite none of them sporting ERAs currently under 5.74.

2. David Wright will break out of his slump by hitting a homerun off of Chan Ho Park.

3. Mark Hendrickson will beat Roy Halladay and Sidney Ponson will beat Kevin Slowey.

4. The Heat will beat the Hawks to force a game seven and no one will care . . . not even basketball fans.

5. Albert Pujols will homer off Jordan Zimmerman on his way to a better May than April.

6. Keith Law will write a snarky Facebook status update.

7. Russell Martin will go 0-4. Lifetime .415 OPS vs. Peavy.

8. Dan Uggla will strikeout 2+ times (facing Rich Harden).

9. You'll hear a Swine Flu joke before 10:00am.

10. You'll read this and laugh.

Torre has to move him down in the order…he can’t hit in front of Kemp much longer.
Martin is a BIG bust so far….may have to write a post on him.

If the Marlins win the WS again this year, it also means the Giants will somehow win their division in miracle fashion, only to get their hearts broken by losing the Marlins in the NL playoffs. Bank it.

Bonds stands alone.

No. 5 is complete. Pujols homer in 1st inning.

Results

6 out of 10. Wright broke out of his slump but didn’t homer. Martin was 0-3 with a walk off walk. I was way off #3 but nailed #1, #4, #5. BTW, Keith Law had more than one snarky update.
