Gloating over Fearless Predictions One

Gloating over Fearless Predictions

One week ago there was a three-way tie for first in the AL West with some theorizing that tonight would be the end of baseball's regular season should there be a strike. I made a prediction that the A's would take over first and that the Angels would end up leading the wild card by the end of the week. If the Angels win tonight (they are ahead 4-0 in the third against Tampa at home), that is the scenario that would play out. I would like to gloat because none of my predictions ever pan out. Here are the standings if the Angels win and my predicted standings:

                                  Since Aug. 22
         W-L  GB   Prediction  Actual Prediction
Oakland 83-51  -   81-53   -    8-0      6-2
Anaheim 79-54  3.5 80-53   .5   5-4      6-3
Seattle 79-55  4   79-55  2     4-4      4-4


Have I sufficiently impressed myself yet?
