just wanted to get everyone's predictions for this years baseball season. i think it is going to be a great one. it all gets kicked off tomorrow nite at 8 on ESPN with the yankees-sox rematch. heres my predictions: NL East: Florida Marlins NL Central: Houston Astros NL West: San Diego Padres NL Wild Card: Atlanta Braves AL East: Boston Red Sox AL Central: Chicago White Sox AL West: Los Angeles Angels( formerly Anaheim) AL Wild Card: NY Yankees World Series: Florida Marlins vs. Boston Red Sox World Champs: Boston Red Sox There u have it i am predicting a repeat for the Boston Red Sox over the Florida Marlins in 6 games. write it down, bet the farm on it. The Sox are even going to win the division this year! I also think that the Yankees may get left out of the playoffs this year, if their pitching doesnt produce as expected, and we could see those Minnesota Twins back in the playoffs. But anyway, go Phillies!!!! |

first off lowe was great in playoffs but so-so in regular season. matt clement should have a huge year, they got david wells from from san diego, clement from the cubs, wade miller from houston. plus theyadded edgar renteria at shortstop and resigned jason varitek. by far they are the best "team" in baseball. the yankees have great "players" yes , but the sox have team chemistry which is needed to win championships. |

NL CENTRAL HOUSTON ASTROS....what are you smoking....can I have some....lol... Cubbies are going to break the curse this year.....now that the cancer is gone from the clubhouse aka Sammy Sosa Houston has lost Kent and Hidalgo.... Bagwell is not the same as he was with that shoulder problem...Berkman is out for at least another month....2 rookies starting in the outfield (Tavares and Scott) and another who has not had a regular job in the major until now (Lane)..... Had to move Biggio back to 2nd (a 40 year old infielder, that could be trouble) How are the Whitesox going to compete with the Twins......all they lost were Magglio Ordonex and Carlos Lee..... They may finish 4th behind the Twins, Tigers and Indians...... Ok maybe 3rd..... CG.....Go Cubbie Blue http://www.gracecollector.com/cubs_logo.jpg |

ok well theastros may be a shock to you, but their rotation is nice with clemens, pettitte,and oswalt...and lidge is the best young closer in the game....the cubs may steal it if prior and wood would ever stay healthy.. and about the white sox.....they are loaded with power first off...they got konerko, jermaine dye, frank thomas, carl everett, aaron rowand, juan uribe.....they got podsednik who stole 70 some bases last year.....they improved their rotation a lot....it's now buerle, freddy garcia, jose contreras, el dukay, and garland..... |

I agree the Astros have a nice rotation, but in that band box they will still get hit...Who is # 4 and 5.....CUBS steal it..........I think they are a much better team up and down.....which lineup would you rather have.. Corey Patterson Todd Walker/ Jerry Hairston, Jr Nomar Garciaparra Aramis Ramirez Jeremy Burnitz Derek Lee Todd Hollandsworth/Jerry Hairston, Jr. Michael Barrett VS. Willy Tavares (Rookie)/Jason Lane Adam Everett Craig Biggio Jeff Bagwell Morgan Ensberg Jason Lane/Lance Berkman Luke Scott (Rookie)/Jason Lane Brad Ausmus If Wood and Prior can stay healthy our 3,4,5 are pretty solid with Zambrano, Maddux and either Rusch, Dempster or the K*ds they can call up...Guzman, etc.....bullpen is the big ???? As far as the Sox go....Contreras and El Sucko...you must be kidding........ Dye is a decent player but no Maggs.....Posednik can make things happen with his speed....but Carlos Lee was a pretty solid player also.....But the Big Skirt....He is about done...Konerko had a career year, lets see him do that again...... The one thing I can say for the Sox is they probably have the best bullpen is baseball...Takatsu, Hermanson, Vizcaino, Marte and Politte are gong to be very good..... Can you tell I am a lifelong cub fan..although I do not root against the Sox, unless they play the Cubs... McPhail has proven over the last couple of years that he is willing to spend at the trade deadline to improve..Aramis Ramirez and Randall Simon in '03...Nomar, Neifi Perez in '04..not to mention top line free agent signings and trades for Derek Lee, Greg Maddux, Michael Barrett, etc...Reinsdorf has not stepped up to the plate anything close to that. Quite franjly the reason he has not (Can't blame him) average attendance in Sox Park (Horrible Neighborhood is around 20,000 to 40,000 average in Wrigley.... CG |

im not very impressed with the cubs linup.....id rather have: Jimmy Rollins Kenny Lofton Bobby Abreu Jim Thome Pat Burrell Chase Utley Mike Lieberthal David Bell don't rule out the fightin phils....they have one of the best bullpens in baseball....wagner, worrell, cormier, madson a decent rotation....lieber, wolf, padilla, lidle, myers....but waitin for rookie phenom gavin floyd to take over a spot however they are in one of if not the toughest divisions in baseball this year with the marlins braves and mets all making big additions this offseason |

it looks like my pics for the playoffs may not have been way off after all........with the exception of the florida marlins......looks like i may have picked 7 out of the 8 teams......hopefully the phillies can still pass houston and win the wildcard though.....go phils |
