    Anyone else think that the Brewers might make some noise in the NL Central? I don't think the Cards are as good as last year and the Astros definitely aren't. Of course, a healthy Ben Sheets would help the Brew Crew.

    I think they'll contend - I wouldn't be shocked to see them win the division.

    Just curious on your FL pick. FL got rid of many players including Delgado and Pierre. Why go with FL?

    I don't know, they always seem to flourish with young talent. A lot of predicting is going with hunches, especially with 162 games ahead of them.

    I would bet that Florida loses 100+ games this year and that Willis will be lucky to win 15 games even if he pitches lights out.

    I think the Brewers will be a pleasant surprise again this year. I'd like to see Ben Sheets healthy...since I think they just put him back on the DL...

    Redsox win the east.
    Ortiz is the MVP
    Josh Beckett wins CY
    Curt Schilling comeback player of the year
    Manager of the year Terry Francona
    RBI Leader Manny
    Crisp, Ortiz, Schilling, Manny, Varitek, Beckett, Foulke, Nixon, all are allstars

    Then in a stunning move Mike Ditka is named coach of the Dah Bulls and leads them into the playoffs. He then becomes coach of the bears and reunites with Buddy Ryan leading the Bears into the Super Bowl against the Patriots, lead by the return of Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe returns to the team after Tom Brady is injured while ruining his knee when he is crushed under the weight of his own self satistisfaction. Kobe is then injured while trying to do things with OJ simpsons new girlfriend.

    hey softy, spammy-

    no one was asking for your insight on my picks, ok numbnuts?

    Florida won't lose 100 games, dontrelle will win 20, and the yankees will finish THIRD in the al east behind boston and toronto.

    Now go put that in your pipes and smoke it. God you guys are beyond stupid.

    Hey I was just making a comment about Florida. No bashing, NOTHING. I knew you wouldn't be able to handle any thought that went against your picks. WITHOUT a doubt, the petrified tree stump in my back yard would make better picks than you. image Florida image Your picks aren't based on hunches. You more than likely blind folded yourself and threw a dart at a map. I will MAKE SURE I dig this thread up in OCTOBER so I can smack your face with it all winter.

    Checking in roughly 1/4 through the season.

    It is a suprise to see the Tigers hanging with the ChiSox in the Central and Cleveland a game under .500 is a bit of a suprise.

    The Angels suck - I didn't see that coming.

    Cincy is a suprise, but I don't know how long they'll keep it up as their pen sucks.

    The Royals and Marlins are not major league teams.

    I think the biggest suprise is that the entire NL West is above .500!

    Hey, they are only 5 1/2 games out in that putrid division. Don't write them off yet!

    The Marlins are horrible. You have to give the Royals some credit playing in a very tough division and league. The Marlins might lose 110 games as Dontrelle ROTS. What a shame.
