You know how every time you turn on ESPN, there's some "expert" SCREAMING AT YOU?  And you kinda suspect he's an idiot, but he's so loud you almost find yourself believing him?  Well . . . don't.

 

 

--At the beginning of the baseball season, 58 writers and TV hosts from"Sports Illustrated" and ESPN tried to predict which teams would meet in the World Series.  And NONE of them picked the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants.

 

 

--Only eight picked the Tigers to win the American league, and only six picked the Giants to win the National League.  Nobody picked both of them together.

 

 

--Who did the worst job?  Karl Ravich, who hosts "Baseball Tonight" on ESPN.  He predicted a Boston Red Sox versus Arizona Diamondbacks World Series.  Boston finished 69-93 and Arizona was 81-81.
