Tigers win it all this year!

NDman been a die hard Phillies fan for years. Hopefully this year is their
year. The Phils got a solid starting rotation that doesn't have a #1 and
a #5 starter. The have two #2 and two #3 and a #4 starter. The infield
is solid with Rollins, Howard and Utley. We have a new 3rd baseman in
Wes Helms. There is no way Howard will have a season like last year they
will be pitching around him to much and Utley is a fabulous player who can do
it all. The outfield is ok with Burrel, Rowand and Vicctorino. The man thing
with the outfield is if Rowand can stay healthy and Burrel doesn't f-ing stick
up the joint. The middle relief is just awful for the Phils, hopefully they don't
blow to many games. This is the Fightin Phils, like usually they will dissapoint
their fans and will be bitching and moaning by late May. I got tickets for all
their interleague games at home and they are playing the Tigers.

Phils seem like a team that has some really good pieces but is very shaky in the bullpen. Old closers are always injury risks and if Flash goes down there is a giant hole. Myers and Hamels are very solid in the rotation. The Mets rotation is very shaky and with Sanchez out and Mota suspended their pen has some questions. The Braves pitching is also a little dicey and the Marlins are still too young. Forget the Nats. Phils have a shot if things come together.

Tigers vs. Dodgers

Tigs in 6

I was looking at the national league today and there seems like 10 teams that have a legit shot. It is funny that so many complain about the big market/small market stuff in baseball but it seems like there are more teams wth a legit shot to get to the playoffs than the NFL which is supposedly the model of parity.
