A.L. East -- New York Yankees... As much as I'd like to pick the Boston Red Sox, its just not their year (or decade... or era...).
A.L. Central -- Minnesota Twins... Last year's surprise team is this year's obvious A.L. Central winner
A.L. West -- Oakland... They have 3 twenty game winners who have down so in two consecutive seasons. Watch out for the Anaheim though (RALLLLLYYYYY MONNNNNNNKEEEEYYYYYYYY!!).
N.L. East -- Montreal... They had a great record up to the all star break last year. I dunno. There's no real good team in the N.L. East.
N.L. Central -- Chicago Cubs... Dusty Baker's new team, highlighted by Slammin' Sammy... OY! Dusty has experience managing supersluggers and knows exactly what to do with Sammy. Don't forget Chicago has half decent pitching. The Brewers suck. Watch out for St. Louis.
N.L. West -- Barry Bonds
P.S. The Brewers suck.
Posted by mbare at March 30, 2003 11:07 PMI'd like to note that ESPN.com had eliminated the Brewers (and Pittsburgh Pirates) from contention in the NL Central a week before the season began.
w00t.
Posted by: don on April 1, 2003 01:08 PMTrue.
Jon Miller says the Pirates are his "sleeper team" in the national league. If sleeper means "not gonna do anything..." then he's right. If sleeper means "could strike at any time..." then he's nuts.
P.S. The Brewers suck.
Posted by: mbare on April 1, 2003 03:38 PMThe Brew Krew are my "coma" team. Maybe my "DNR - Do Not Resuscitate" (sp?) team.
Posted by: don on April 1, 2003 04:01 PMI'm pretty sure this is the only site on the entire internet that didn't try an April Fools joke of some kind. Thanks. April first is pretty much "Don't bother trying to get credible news day."
Of course you still have 1 hour (central time).
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees MLB and thought it was MDLB
Posted by: James on April 1, 2003 11:55 PMThere was supposed to be a "OH MY GOD DO I LOVE GEORGE BUSH! NO! FOR REAL!!!!" April Fools joke today, but I was too lazy.
P.S. The Brewers suck.
I'm eternally happy that, while I am a Red Sox fan, I'm not one of THOSE Red Sox fans. But I guess there's always next year. :o
They put seats on top of the Green Monster in Fenway during the off-season. I can't wait to see how the "faithful" rip that decision. Stilil it'll be better than dealing with the "Friends of Fenway" ("if you tear it down or build a new one, Ted Wiilliams will haunt your liver!") nutcases, that's for sure.
P.S. "Yankees suck."
