I've Met Someone Else...

I'm starting another blog. Wrigley's Back Yard. It's going to be what this blog was supposed to be; stories about the Cubs and our drunken debauchery on the weekends.

Running Into Street Poles will become the Official DrewTang Blog

Bring The Mother Fucking Ruckus

3 amazing dude-bro's I know are taking a trip around Lake Michigan on their Ruckus' (Ruckai?) for a good cause. They're riding around in support of The Inland Seas School of Expeditionary Learning which is a not-for-profit organization established to serve as a dynamic educational community for the academic and character development of adolescent youth through marine education programs. Check out their site, follow them on Twitter, donate to the cause. Help a couple brothers out.

They're actually riding up to The Good Land tomorrow to see the school and meet the students there.

Seriously, it's a good cause, help them out.



By the way,
I'm on Twitter now also, so you can follow me in my travels and pointlessness even more.

2009 MLB Predictions Sure To Be Wrong

Well, it's opening day, my favorite day of the year, and before I continue with my Opening Day Traditions (Watching the Sandlot), I'll make my predictions.

Awards:

AL
Rookie of the Year: David Price (Rays)
Cy Young: Jon Lester (Red Sox)
MVP: Mark Teixeira (Yankees)

NL
Rookie of the Year: Pablo Sandoval (Giants)
Cy Young: A healthy Rich Harden (Cubs) or Brandon Webb (D'Backs)
MVP: David Wright (Mets)


Division:

NL East: Mets
NL Central: Cubs
NL West: D'Backs
NL WC: Phillies

AL East: Red Sox
AL Central: Twins
AL West: Angels
AL WC: Yankees

Playoffs:

NLDS:
Cubs vs Phillies: Cubs in 5
Mets vs D'Backs: Mets in 3

ALDS:
Red Sox vs Twins: Red Sox in 3
Angels vs Yankees: Yankees in 4

NLCS:
Cubs vs Mets: Cubs in 6

ALCS:
Red Sox vs Yankees: Red Sox in 7



World Series:
Cubs vs Red Sox: Red Sox in 7


So there you have it. Against my better judgement, I pick the Cubs to finally make to the World Series (I originally had the Mets). However, I think the Red Sox are just too strong this year to be ignored. It's going to be a helluva race in the AL East this year.

Hopefully I'm wrong, and the Cubs can take it all.
