Season 3 Preview - AL North

Leon Jackson - Cobbfather Post Gazette w/ special correspondent Shenaynay from the Psychic Friends network

On to the AL North, perhaps the most competitive, and vocal, division in Cobbfather. This season looks to hold in store another fierce competition for the division title. Let's get into the predictions. Shenaynay, fire up that crystal ball, girlfriend!!

AL NORTH

4. New York Pride of the Yankees
Last Season: 99-63

Shenaynay’s crystal ball shows: a large woman, minimum 300 lbs, macking with some dude in a Taco Bell parking lot

Gazette says: Interesting view from the crystal ball. Don’t get us wrong, we still think New York has a very good team, but we think the rest of the division has finally caught up. New York should be in the race until the end, but we think they just get edged out.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 90-72, 4th place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 11-1

3. Sioux Falls Great Danes
Last Season: 93-69

Shenayany’s crystal ball shows: the masses chanting “all hail, der Kommissar!”

Gazette says: Sioux Falls returns a great team, with a nice balance of pitching and hitting. We see them having another nice year, despite the tough competition in the division.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 91-71, 4th place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 10-1

2. Philadelphia Ploppin’ Penguins
Last Season: 87-75

Shenayany’s crystal ball shows: a moving van, and a map of HBD cities ready with philly throwing a dart to see where the team will move to next.

Gazette says: This season, phillyfan has taken his Cobbfather team road show to, Philadelphia, their third city in three years under the same management! The well traveled team is highlighted by outstanding pitching, which should keep them in contention all year.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 92-70, 2nd place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 9-1

1. Fargo Rat Bastids
Last Season: 87-75

Shenayany’s crystal ball shows: a pantsless old man jumping up and down for joy. It appears that his depends may be leaking.

Gazette says: After taking a year to rebuild last season, it appears dem Bastids are back in full force and are our favorite to win the division. It’s hard to find a weakness with this team, except for maybe the owner’s incontinence.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 95-67, 1st place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 7-1
