5 to watch: Weekend predictions

1. Ken, despite strong words earlier this week, still won't win.
He claimed the commish's harsh words toward his team fired the players up. Yeah, right.

2. Shea won't set his lineup at least once this weekend.
And he probably won't even see this blog post, either.


3. Luke Gregerson will allow a run (for the first time in his last 14 appearances).
I pointed out to Chris that he's walking a fine line by picking up the guy that sent him to the consolation bracket last season. "Yeah, whatever. Fuck karma," Chris said. "I don't believe in it. I believe in shitty luck, which i get anyway." We'll see.

4. Bob vs. Mike won't be decided until after 10 p.m. on Sunday night.
Fielder, Braun, Hamels, Werth, Polanco, Hoffman, Lidge.

5. There will be a tie!
Yes, it has to come sooner or later. My best bet is Dave vs. Jack, who have already tied three times before when facing each other.
