Picked the Phillies because I really want to see Roy Oswalt get a ring.
I'll be personally interested to see how Michael Young plays this season bouncing between positions.

Overall Prediction: Pain! (and by pain I mean too many DL trips)

Wow. I'm not the only one that is optimistic about the Cubs' season.

I think the NL Central will be the closest Division in the NL. I honestly think any of the top 4 I listed have a chance to win it.

I liked how Castillo reported several hours late, like he's got nothing to prove.

No. 98 & 99

I don't think the Cubs will contend in the Central, but I do think they will be better than the Astros and Pirates. 70 wins may be on the mark, but still, better than the Astros and Pirates.

Hey, Halliday's always been a Red Sox killer.

Like I said to you earlier, there's not a ton of difference between 67 wins and 63 wins. I mean, as a fan, are you going to be super-psyched that you won 67 games instead of 63? Are you going to notice a difference.

There was a reason I put the Cubs last. I think they, the Astros, and the Pirates will all be absolutely dreadful - probably finishing within a handful of games of each other.

I put the Cubs last because when the going gets tough, the Cubs historically roll over and quit. Are they more talented than the Astros and Pirates? Maybe. But there's an atmosphere of whining and quitting in Chicago regarding the Cubs that may produce a special kind of suck this year. Ever seen a team mail it in in May? Watch this.

[Army Dice Clay]

Moose and Tommy: You guys are alright in my book.

As for the rest of you... You'd think you would learn your lesson. Pick against the Twins are your own risk. Granted, the Twins won't do a fucking thing in the playoffs, but, they own the Central. When it counts, the White Sox and the Tigers can't beat the Twins. The 2008 tiebreaker was the only outlier. Whenever there is a big late-season series against the Sox or the Tigers, the Twins rarely lose. 2 big series last year against the Sox late in the season: 6 game lead became a 12 game lead. The Twins figure it out almost every year, you'd think you lot would too.

Lots of good teams in the AL and a few REALLY bad ones (Indians, Mariners, and maybe KC). I think the Yanks surprise some folks only because of all the Red Sox hype this offseason and take the East by a game or two. Wouldn't be surprised to see all 5 teams in the East over .500 into August. Central's a three team crapshoot as usual, but damn if the Twins don't always seem to figure out a way to pull it out. I like Oakland's arms out west, and I don't trust the Rangers' rotation. Lewis and Wilson are solid, but they're not 1-2 guys.

I think Atlanta gives Philly everything they want and then some in the East, with the Phils taking the division via tiebreaker. I like the Reds to repeat in the Central - really like that offense and that park. Losing Wainwright KILLS the Cards, and I think them and Milwaukee battle for 2nd. And I'm in agreement about the Cubs, Pirates, and Astros all being garbage. I really like Colorado in the West - just skeptical about the Giants offense being able to create enough runs for a second straight year.

Wait wait wait. Derek Jeter of the Yankees hit his 3,000 hit and Christian Lopez caught the ball.


That guy sure was Lucky

somewhere, in prison, watching his little 13 inch shitty tv while being raped repeatedly, Lucky managed to take the dick out of his mouth long enough to smile.
