Pedro Gomez Hearts Milwaukee
I was checking out the ESPN.com predictions and the Brewers got very little love across the board. A NL Central crown here, a NL Wild Card there, but overall the Cubs were the favorite of just about every ESPN reporter/writer. Except for Pedro Gomez. Why? Well, because.....
Not only does he think the Brewers will win the NL Central, but he also thinks Prince Fielder will win the NL MVP and Manny Parra will win the NL Rookie of the Year. You would almost think Pedro Gomez and I are long lost brothers with picks like that. Now, he does not go as far as me by having the Brewers win it all, but he put himself out there by defying all of the other "experts" and picking them to win the division and two of the three major awards. If the Chicago Cubs were cocaine, ESPN would be wiping Soriano, Lee, Fukudome, and Zambrano off of their noses. Some have already overdosed! It is really pretty sad and will only make the 100th year that much more painful for Cubs fans.
i have actually met Pedro a few times and he seems to be a really nice guy.

Great line, 'If the Cubs were cocaine . . .' I wish I'd thought of that.
I watched the game on ESPN2 yesterday, and Brent Musberger did everything but scream "YES!!!" when Fukudome hit that home run. You could actually hear the disgust in his voice when the Brewers came back. Made me so happy.
