Prior to Opening Day, I asked each of us to make a prediction as to which players would be 2009’s MVP’s, ROY’s, and CYA winners. It was a complete waste of time then and continues to be right now. But seeing as though the individual award season is winding down, I thought it’d be torture fun to look back at some of the predictions we all made back in March. Now you may be asking yourself, why are all the ladies attracted to Happy’s awesomeness and why is he linking us to a bunch of predictions we made back in March? Is it because he’s hilarious and so he could brag about the number of correct selections he made? Yes it is. No it isn’t. No, it’s because he’s so friggin’ good looking and this is just a fun little time-waster on a Monday afternoon. Enjoy.
NOTE: I realize that the NL MVP won’t be announced until tomorrow, but if the winner is anyone other than Albert Pujols, they might as well close up shop and cancel the whole thing anyway.

You posted this because you had the most right, didn’t you?
Why did Tampa copy clown?
Happy, Greinke was 35-1* to win the Cy. Too bad you don’t believe in gambling.
*possibly made up
Is this a list of who you though was going to win, or who your favorite players are?
I love it when overhyped rookies suck ass.

I never seem to make a comment on those posts that get revisited. I think this is a good thing.
