| Great job Tom.
Yeah, George Mason was a great story but the tourney definitely turned to shit in the final four. We may get a good game tonight but I won't be watching much of it. I'll be rooting against the Yankees..haha.. and watching post-Mania RAW.
As far as baseball goes.. I'll do a quick summary of each division here myself.
AL East
I've actually seen people picking the Jays to finish 2nd here. That's nuts. They'll be good but no way will they beat out the Sox and Yanks. The only thing that might happen is that the AL East doesn't get the wild card this year, because the Jays will win games, The D-Rays will be scrappy and the O's will win some 10-9 games here and there. Still, Sox and Yanks will rule.. I'll take the Yanks behind their impossible lineup to win the division and then Sox still get the wild card. Watch out for Wily Mo Pena. I've been waiting for him to breakout, this could be the year.
AL Central
White Sox. Case closed. They have the pitching and the power. I really can't see anyway they lose this division and they will definitely be a huge threat to repeat as Tom said. Indians will be the wild card hunt. Rest of the div. sucks.
AL West
I gotta love the Angels. They'll add people if they have to. I love their scrappy lineup and big arms in the bullpen. Another WS contender. I don't like the A's as much as everyone else does, I agree with Danny.. they are a wild card team at best but I don't see it.
NL East
Braves. Who else? I can't trust Pedro to be there the whole season at this point for the Mets. Sure the Mets will have their moments but they are a year away I believe.
NL Central
Lots of people jumping on the Cubs again. Forget it. The Cards will walk it. The astros could be decent, maybe they'll get Clemens back, but I love the Cards here. Great hitting, decent pitching.. They just can't do anything in the playoffs.
NL West
I have to take the Giants if Bonds stays healthy. He'll make the whole lineup better and harder to pitch to. I like what the Dodgers have done, they are back on the rise. Rest sucks. |
