AL Cy Young....Fausto Carmona. I made the pick last year and I'm sticking with it this year! He did have a phenomenal spring training this year. I was just a year early with it. He'll be better than 2007.

Well, there's no doubt the Dodgers haven't been willing to take the steps necessary to go to the final level. Valverde was available for 14 mil/ 2 years. You'd think a team that's had post-season reliever problems would've wanted that. Brox had some health issues last year. You can blame some of his regular season blown saves on that, but you can't blame his pathetic post -season chokes on that. Now, I want everyone to know why. Look at this pitch he threw 8 days before:

See how that's moving late? It's straight lookin' to the batter, and then moves on the batter very late. Rollins would not of hit that. Nobody would of hit that within the field of play. There is no reason this pathetic cow couldn't of done this against Philly. She's a choke.

Now, look at this pathetic pitch:

It's straight. Starts hi inside, and takes a straight path to the heart of the plate. Look where Russ's glove is. Pitch is supposed to start in the center of the plate, n' duck outside late. She has a severe mental weakness. This is the reason she fails in front of the free world.

red sox vs phillies
 

my dream world series matchup, but not this year. I'm a pretty optimistic person in general, except when it comes to red sox expectations. This years expectations are pretty low

while I'm a life-long red sox fan, this year's expectations are pretty low

despite being a life-long red sox fan, my expectations for this year are pretty low

i agree, no red sox in the post season this year

Hopefully the repeating low Red Sox prediction is a function of the software being installed. Although I agree that Reddick for Baye would only be desirable if we were shooting three's....

not this year
 

though I'm a life long red sox fan, I'll be surprised to see them win 90 games this year

This is the swan song year for the Rays - they can't keep a great deal of their talent and I believe if they can get Howell back healthy early enough they've got all of the tools to displace the Red Sox as the Wild Card in the AL :homer:

if la and joe had mariano you would have celebrated a few times by now

Dont fall for his lunacy. Broxton is the least of the Dodgers problems.

Yea, like getting your wonderboy to get ahead in the count against the Phils.

Yea, like getting your wonderboy to get ahead in the count against the Phils. Gales, we need a new pitching coach. This honeysuck is doing the least with the most.

Go back to last fall. After Brox got the final out against the Cards, someone said they didn't see the woman I had written about. I said to just wait. She will show. I'm so lune? Next week after, she did show up (in all her glory.) That's because I know this cow very well. Like a diabetic knows their disease isn't going away. This woman's head problems aren't going away.

After 13 games, it looks like 75 wins is a pipe dream. The Mets are actually worse than i thought. Nearly unwatchable at times.

Some nobody pitched the best 6 2/3 innings of their life, and Broxton had to fk it up.

Just like that cow to blow a save, and then get someone else's win. Only starts to compete after it gets tied. Has the concentration of a worm.

Cannon, those reds ended up being pretty good.

It was a good call. I am still surprised that they were able to patch together enough pitching to win the Central. In my mind St Louis lost the division more than the Reds won it. The failure of the Cards to get any production from a 4/5 starter after Penny went down and thier ridiclous offense added to Garcia wearing down late in the season makes them trading a bat instead of adding a bat at the trading deadline even stranger.

I don't know where Bronson Arroyo's season came from, Cueto was always good enough, Leake just wore down but is not even the best rookie on the staff, Poor Harang is toast, Bailey was subpar but adequate, Volquez was typical post TJ surgery up and down but the real key was the emergence of Travis Wood midseason, giving them 15 starts and almost every one of them a good one. The bullpen has looked shaky as of late and will really need Chapman to step up if they have any hope of advancing.

Lori will hate me for saying this but I will be very surprised if Philadelphia doesn't dominate the NL playoffs

This was pretty good. About the only thing he got wrong was the twins and Indians. So outside of the alway baffling AL Central, Tigerfan pretty much nailed it.

This was pretty accurate too. You might have both NL awards correct and Longoria and Lester had very good seasons as well. Your only misses were the western divisions.

This is a mess. I don't know why i always believe in Seattle and always discount the Twins.

I hope you knocked on some darn wood!!!!!
