You know how people like to run Madden games to see who will win the Super Bowl? Well, Sony has gone one step further and decided to send me an e-mail predicting how the entire 2007 MLB season will pan out via their latest game MLB 07 The Show. Check out what the future will be and see if you disagree (there's gotta be some sports fans here, you can't all be nerds, can you?).
KEY STATS
Barry Bonds will not break the homerun record in 2007; coming up two shy
Milwaukee wins Central - 86 wins and 76 losses
Padres win the West - 102 wins vs. 60 loses

Milwaukee? Winning their division? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I anticipate a patch being released very soon.
*calls bookie* :P
And why do we need a video game to tell us bonds won't make it?
I grew up in the DC Metro area, so I was usually an Orioles fan. I tend to just like teams based on where I'm living at the time. I guess I'm a Dodgers and Angels fan now.
i'll take what i can get, this preseason has been... umm.... yeah. WILD CARD!
mets don't make the post-season i'm takin it out on your roboasses.
Fuck yo' Yankees, indeed.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim...WTF?
For the Mets to miss the postseason, there would have to be good teams in the NL East. Fortunately for the Mets, the Phillies haven't been good in over a decade, the Marlins dismantle their team everytime they start to get good, and my poor Atlanta Braves managed to choke in 13 out of 14 straight playoff appearances.
Oh shit, I almost forgot this was a gaming blog.
*pls don't tell anyone i said this, or my tix are gonna be revoked ;p*
-the phillies are absolutely terrifying this year. they're young and talented just like the mets, only they have legitimate, non-injured pitching. frickin howard is gonna have a huge season.
-the braves. hahahaha. hahahha. i can't say anything nice about the braves, all i can say is that as a mets fan, you never discount the braves.
but yeah the NL east is a joke. reyes/wright FTW!
If they make it to the playoffs, they'll be the ones taking the Wild Card, not the Mets.
If the Twins aren't in the Playoffs, there is no way Morneau wins MVP with those numbers.
Grady Sizemore will hit .310, not .350.
Izzy won't save 50.
If Bonds stays healthy, he will pass Aaron. I think he stays healthy, so I say he passes Aaron.
So much wrong with this.
However, the sports fan in me thinks they will be fine.
Year after year at the preseason, I'm always worried about the other 3 AL West teams, knowing they could all do very well.
This year, not so much sold on the M's. Angels are always tough. Texas has talent, we'll see how the pitching is. I still think the Angels will win the division.
useless bs
Unfortunately, The Show takes too god damned long to do anything, so I won't be buying it, no matter how good Ryan Howard slugs.
It doesn’t really matter, though...the Yankees’ 103-59 record will surely propel them to postseason success, even if the game doesn’t simulate the playoffs.
