BASEBALL PREVIEW


A.L.

East-Boston Red Sox

Central-Detroit Tigers

West-L.A. Angels

wild card-Tampa Bay Rays



N.L.

East-N.Y. Mets

Central-Chicago Cubs

West-Arizona Dimondbacks

wild card-L.A. Dodgers



World Series

Red Sox defeat Dimondbacks

(Man. I hate to say it, but it's been that kind of year for me)



...Red Sox have the whole package: pitching, run prevention, offense. Dustin Pedroia will be the latest baseball player to get busted artificially enhancing his physique when he is caught heightening.


...Yankees are still a couple years away but are heading the right direction. They still don't have the clutch hitting and you can't trust their arms in big games. They've got some young guys that should be good down the road, but for now they will have to lean on D.J., C.C., and that A-Rod chick.


...as an aggressive marketing strategy, the Angels will change their name to "the United States Angels of California".


...Bartman will get the last laugh on the Cubs. Stealing a page out of "Naked Gun", he will pose as an umpire and single-handidly keep Chicago out of the World Series.


...Manny Ramirez will hit a game winning homer, only to be called out while rounding 3rd when he leaves the base path while giving a fan a hi-five in the stands.


...still trying to "be like Mike", Kobe will retire from hoops to play in the Dodger's farm system for a couple years, strike-out on alot of curveballs, return to the NBA, change his number to 45, and make a movie with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Newman. Shaq will rap and tweet about it.

Baseball shmaseball! I would be a much bigger fan if there weren't so many stinking games. A few years ago I watched the entire world series with Andy. Andy was impressed.

I think the Yanks will get the wildcard. Texeira and CC always start slow, Wang has been horrible, and you figure he'll get it figured out eventually, and A-Rod is coming back (I hope that's good). I agree with you that the BoSox are the favorites, but the D-Backs? I don't think they will even make the playoffs. Maybe they'll surprise like 2 years ago but I think it'll be Boston over the Dodgers.
