I'm surprised they are picking Boston...most "Experts" are going with the big-money Yankees

Good to see they are predicting at tight race at the top of the NL east... but the Bravos haven't really done much this off season to wow me... I can't expect much more out of them this year than last, it'd be great to go to the Phils v ATL games at Turner Field and get to see the Phils sweep the season series again. That said, I think the Phils come in first or second depending on how the Mets rotation/BP stands up.

Three 90+ win teams in the AL East...that will be tough...

Atlanta the wildcard??? hahaha.

Phils were 9-0 at Turner Field last year.

Well we also all know that the Mets will choke when the time comes. So I can see that not happening. The Yanks vs. Boston thing is always a toss up, but as of late the Sox have been coming out on top, and I see that happening again this year. I would hope the players on the Yankees, from last year, have the balls to step up and win games because of the disgrace of a season they had last year. However, when people play for money, and stop playing for baseball, you don't have much of a shot. Sad sad truth. People used to come to the Yankees to win championships, now people come to the Yankees to get paid.

Here's the easy-to-use excuse generator for this season...

When (Fill in the players name) (Pick one of the follow: A: Gets Hurt B: Goes into a slump C: Gets Traded D: Sleeps wrong on his patching arm E: Punches the dugout wall F: Decides not to play hard because he wants more money G: Fails a drug test ), then the (Fill in the team) won't have a chance...

Well now that your boys can't juice up on muscle milk and protein powder... I can't imagine a good season for the yanks
