CBS' Scott Miller made his predictions for 2011. More on that in a minute. But there's this:
Final box score line of the spring: Six sun-drenched weeks, two states, two rental cars, 3,106 miles driven, 26 camps visited (apologies to the Astros, Royals, Indians and Blue Jays), enough mustard-stained receipts to supply the Giants with ticker-tape for another victory parade and one request from Manny Ramirez ("Put in a good word for me").
Anyhow. Astros prediction: 5th
: If Biggio, Bagwell, Berkman and Oswalt can ... wait a sec. Who the hell ARE these Astros?
Oh snark, so reliable.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
