Ocker Feels It In His Bones

Before I get to Ocker's prediction, let me note that I feel 94 Tribe wins in my bones, and this has nothing to do with spring fever.  I posted this prediction on my fridge two months ago.

But anyway, Ocker predicts 30 homers for Big Bad Ben Broussssie.  I think that's probably a little bit high.  Oh, here's another prediction I posted on my fridge during the dark days:  "Broussard will be a huge dork in 2006."  

I have another Broussard prediction.  In '07, he'll release his next album:  "No Jumbotron In Buffalo."  Here are some lyrics:  "Took a bad hop on the chin tonight.  Struck out three times.  Once in the 9th."  

From Ocker's column:  

"Now comes the tough part. Every year, I write that at least one thing will happen to the Indians that is totally unpredictable and illogical.

In 2005, there were at least three of these anomalies: the same five pitchers making all but four starts, Aaron Boone falling into a slump for two solid months and Kevin Millwood leading the league in earned-run average but winning only nine games.

This season, it will be Broussard hitting 30 home runs, even though he is sharing first base with Perez."
