woohoo...Cardinals to win the central again for whatever that is worth

I like the infield and Carpenter....lots of questions everywhere else

Only two starting rotation pitchers and zero reliable outfielders spells a long frustrating season. Of course, it was a long frustrating season last year and that turned out ok.

After years of being the cool team to pick, I think people are sick of the underachievement.

I like it. They played well last year when everybody said they were done. Maybe they will do the same. Play that [censored] disrespect card. I'll take anything that gets them into the playoffs.

I'll take a wild card for the Braves.

I thought it was a little odd in the report on the Royals, how they said that losing 100 games would be an improvement, as they lost 106 games in '05. Ok, but they did go 62-100 last year, so wouldn't losing 100 games NOT be an improvement?

In order to play the disrespect card, don't you have to have *earned* at least a little respect?

Seriously.

Every year I predict something like 84-78, 2-3 games out of the playoffs. This year I say 92-70. Playoffs, baby, playoffs!

SI's hated on the Phils for like, forever. 6th in the NL?

I definitely think the Astros are going to suck. I would like to blame Roger Clemens if possible.

for those who don't feel like wasting their time, the angels are the second best team in baseball, the dodgers are the fourth best, and they're gonna meet to determine which team handed out the worst contract to a free agent CF this offseason
