Crystal Clear Conservative has a couple sports questions.

Football:

Do you truly think the Redskins are bound to lose for the next three games or will there be a win streak that will help us to get into the wild card?

I think the Skins have a good chance to go at least 2-1 over the next three weeks as long as they don’t take anyone for granted.  At Seattle should be a win, but it depends on which Skins team shows up.  NYG at home will be a tough one and as much as I’d love for Washington to pull that one out I just don’t see it, the Giants are THE team this year.  After that is a beltway bowl against Baltimore which should be a good game with Baltimore’s D against Washington’s running game.

Even if the Skins at 6-4 go 1-2 over the next three weeks to 7-6 they should be able to handle their last three games: AT Cincinnati, HOME Philly, AT San Francisco.  Again, though, that’s if they don’t take anyone for granted.

Baseball:

BTW, I do have another question. Do you think the Yankees prospects are good for making it to the World Series next year?

I think the Yanks have an OK shot at making the playoffs, which they have any year.  I’m still not sure about Joe Girardi but I think picking up Swisher from the White Sox and the potential addition of Sabathia bodes well for having the talent they need.  But the next generation of Steinbreners need to avoid playing fantasy baseball and actually build a team, not a roster.

By the way, MLB.com still lists Joe Torre as the coach of the Yankees.  But he’s also listed for the Dodgers.  Time for an update, guys.
