Surely he would have noted the Tigers wouldn't score 1000 runs this season. I should have checked Nostradamus’ Prophecies prior to placing the wager.

I just lost one recently in the Eagles/Cowboys game, and had to write a blog about the dreaded Cowboys. I'll have to check out MoonDog's post. I would have liked to see you wager a Bill O'Reilly link though. That would hurt! I believe I picked the Tigers to win the division, so it's a good thing I didn't make such a bet. I thought the offense would be better, obviously. But what really got me was the pitching. I figured Dontrelle would be dead weight, but for some reason I though Verlander and Bonderman would have about 30 combined wins. They had 14, and unfortunately there are no mulligans in baseball. I'll have take credit for my Gagne assessment though. Immediately after they inked him, somewhere out there I said that the Brewers just threw $10 million down the crapper.
