In the spirit of bringing good fortune to the Carmine Hose, FenwayNation has retained the services of noted baseball psychic Madam Miscue. We have asked the 'sabermetric seer' to look into her crystal ball and divine the fate of your 2102 Red Sox. Herewith are her Top Ten insights:1.) Ryan Sweeney will capture the right-field starting gig by giving season-ending wedgies to Darnell McDonald and Mike Aviles.
2.) In an effort to get a fresh conditioning start for 2012, Bobby Valentine will insist that all clubhouse chicken be skinless.
3.) The following team edict will be issued: 'Only O'Doul's after the 5th inning—no exceptions'.
4.) Jason Varitek will be kept in the organization as the 'stilt guy' on Yawkey Way.
5.) Adrian Gonzalez will fire his current agent and hire God.
6.) A contract will be put out on the Orioles' Robert Andino.
7.) Ben Cherington will begin taking elocution lessons to stop sounding exactly like Theo Epstein.
8.) John Henry will take a liking to curling and buy a professional franchise in Scotland.
9.) The Roush Fenway Racing Team will blow a gasket and lose a critical race; and finally,
10.) Carl Crawford will win the Triple Crown.
