Predictions for the nightmare World Series

Don Fehr had a chance to close out his tenure as head of the Player's Association on a positive note - by teaming up with Bud Selig to cancel the World Series one more time.

Unfortunately, Fehr let down the baseball public yet again. So here we go with predictions:

• A-Rod will have a great Series, but will not win MVP.
• Pedro Martinez will pitch well, but I agree with Squawker Lisa that Brad Lidge will blow the game.
• Jimmy Rollins will do well because he loves sticking it to New York.
• Johnny Damon will do well enough that the Yankees will want to bring him back next year.
• Nick Swisher will be benched for at least one game.
• Jayson Werth will be much better known by the end of the Series.
• Cliff Lee will have a better Series than CC Sabathia.
• If Joe Girardi goes to a three-man rotation, he will regret it. Start Sabathia on three days rest if you want, but have Chad Gaudin start Game 5.

Other predictions:

• If Brett Favre's return to Green Bay goes into overtime Sunday afternoon, Fox will delay the start of Game 4.
• Mayor Bloomberg will sit next to Kate Hudson in the stands to maximize his time on camera.
  
• Bud Selig will fulfill his wish to have a World Series game played in daylight hours by setting all stadium clocks five hours behind.

It will come down to the closers. Yankees in six.
