  1. don't be quick to pick an AL central team for the wild card... we do a pretty good job of beating each other up all season that by the time the thing is all said and done, we all accumulate quite a few losses from it... i don't think there's another division that does so much damage against each other... last year the tigers kept the indians out of the playoffs because we pretty much swept the season against them and they missed it by a few games... the sox always play their division tough even when their team isn't always good... and the twins used to always be a tough out... not sure what to predict from them this year...

    it's a strange division i reside in...

    As I said, I have no confidence in my AL wildcard selections. I could easily choose two from the Royals, A's, Angels, Yankees and Red Sox and you can't rule out Cleveland or Baltimore either.


  2. Is the Mariners thing a serious prediction?

    Yes actually. I made it before spring training. I suppose this is the first time I've officially said it to anyone outside of my personal family/friends.

    Why, who do you got?

    That's an interesting prognostication. I still see the A's and Rangers as being better than the Mariners and the Angels shouly be better than them too. Off the top of my head I'd say Detroit v St Louis in the WS but there are a lot of good teams in the mix this year. Boston rode the chemistry train last year and won't get there again. The Rays are due for another appearance. The Dodgers should get there but it's a tough league to get out of. The Nationals should be better than last year too.

    I'll go one step further and give you my division winners/wildcards"

    AL East: Rays

    AL Central: Tigers

    AL West: Rangers

    AL Wildcards: A's & Royals (with no confidence about either)

    NL East: Nationals

    NL Central: St Louis

    NL West: Dodgers

    NL Wildcards: Atlanta & Cincinnati
