I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Man, I love ridiculing MLB predictions at the end of each season and haven’t found the right batch of ridiculous predictions to ridicule yet.” Well, first you should consider using words like “chastise” and “mock” instead of always defaulting to “ridicule.” Secondly, the Cafeholics are happy to oblige your thoughts. What follows is the tabulation of the best guesses of several Cafeholics, a predictions column that you will be happy to mock, chastise, and even ridicule as the season progresses. But first, a poem:

At last, amidst some dark and dankly place A score – no more – came forth to make their case A score of Cafeholics one by one A crystal ball, ‘til only one had won The consequence of which is only this Bad poetry and guesses hit or miss |
