Peter Gammons Predicts He Will Finish Season Lonely And Depressed

BRISTOL, CT—In his ’Looking Ahead In 2006’ column on ESPN’s website, baseball analyst Peter Gammons said that there will be “no big surprises this year,” predicting that he would once again finish the season in the cellar, all alone and unable to let go of the events of the past seven months. “Although some experts are saying I will fold in the hot weather come August, I’m certain I will make it to the playoffs and head into the World Series healthy and excited, as I do each year,” Gammons wrote Monday. “But when all is said and done, I am going to end up lying prone on the world champions’ clubhouse floor, where I will remain, covered in old champagne and stacks of 2006 box scores, until someone wakes me up next spring.” Gammons also predicted that he would have an extremely quiet offseason in which he doesn’t make any major moves.
