    The season is underway Friday (not counting the Japan games) and this season looks to be a fighter. There were a lot of solid trades and the new 2 wildcard set up will add some spice. The AL East will be a powerhouse all around even down to the Orioles and Blue Jays. I see the AL West going down to the end this year between LA and Texas.

    In the NL East, Philly is always a powerhouse but Atlanta may comeback trying to redeem there collapse and Miami's off season acquisitions may prove pivotal. NL central is just a god awful division......but somebody has to come out on top. Posey is back for the Giants and they still look strong. However I only see a fight for the top 2 in the West.

    Predictions:

    AL
    E-Rays
    C- Tigers
    W-Angels
    WC- Yanks & ChiSox

    NL
    E-Phillies
    C-Cards
    W-Giants
    WC- Miami & D-Backs

    Logical World Series: Tigers/Giants
    My World Series: Rays/Phillies. Redemption of that horrific rainy messed up '08 series.

    Sleeper pick in the NL East: Nationals. If Strasburg is healthy and Gio Gonzalez has a big year, they will make some noise in the NL playoff picture.

    I'm a Braves fan, but I see too much young, inexperienced pitching for now. That, plus Fredi Gonzalez is not my idea of a good manager.

    Philly could be due for a fall if Howard and Utley have a hard time coming back.

    The Fish could have a big year. I'm wondering how Josh Johnson will be able to come back (especially since he's on my fantasy team - icon_eek.gif ) and how Hanley will do at third.

    I just love baseball players in their long white socks -- esp the White Sox.

    I would like to see them do well, actually....but not against the Rays!

    What is the latest on the new stadium in San Jose? And I am happy to see that "Aussie" and former Ray Grant Balfour is the new closer for the A's. I always liked him.

    Right before the season started, I told my friends the Red Sox would win only 60 games. I think I was over-optimistic.
