In a review of the year's predictions, good and bad, Richard Griffin takes the time to look back on predictions in columns of 2003. While one of these in particular is not as accurate as our resident Nostradamus' version, they stir interest. If there's one thing that we humans wish we could do, it's predict the future accurately.

In that spirit, here is your chance to show off your psychic powers: the Batter's Box Crystal Ball, 2004 edition.

In this thread Bauxites are challenged to make predictions related to baseball for the year 2004. You're free to divine the future in any way you like, though some of the more grisly methods are probably better left out.

Some basic rules:

  1. These predictions must be original. I define 'original' here as 'not originating from another human.' If your pet hamster tells you juicy gossip about Dave Stieb's second comeback, that's fair game; if your neighbour tells you it, it's out.
  2. Predictions must be made on or before December 31, 2004, and must be made before the event in question will supposedly occur. No fair predicting Roy Halladay's 20-11 record next year after the Jays finish out their season with their 87th win.


You'll note that this extends throughout the new year. This is so that we can refer to it as the canonical Batter's Box Prediction Thread, at least until we replace it with a new one.
