If the Sox are out and the Cubbies are still in it you got my full support, E!

What kind of interesting ways will the Mets find to blow it this year?

I'll support boston if the cubs are out. I hope the White Sox finish in last place.

Yeah the Cubs are one of those teams I can automatically get behind if the Phils are out. I'd love to see them win one.

For me, I'm worried about missing JC Romero for 50 games, and Hamels' injury has me worried too. But Howard and Utley are looking good, so that's a plus.

I'm pumped. Let's just wait for some games to talk about!

Not a big Ozzie Guillen fan?

I'm calling Reds and Giants as my two potential sleepers, leaning more towards the Giants. You can't overlook that rotation!

I lived in the Chicago area until I was 12. Back then, you liked one of Chicago's teams and hated the other one. so, I hate the white sox no matter who manages them. I would prolly like Guillen if he managed a different team>

Yeah, I like the Giants, too.

I also like Kansas City to surprise us a bit.

Is anyone gonna sign Barry Bonds? How long has he been off?

I doubt it. He didn't play an inning last year.

Nobody wants him. He'd wreck any club house's chemistry.

Plus he's like 44, a year removed from the game, and off the roids ... I doubt he has anything left in the tank.

The three best teams in the AL could all be in the East, which means at least one is guaranteed to miss the playoffs.

Sucks to be a Skank fan again this year!

I'll drink to that!

But I wouldn't bet on it. I have a feeling the Rays will have a let down / hangover year.

I dunno, Mani, they got a heck of a young rotation, Crawford had a down year in 2008, Upton didn't catch on fire til the playoffs, and Longoria will only improve. The Rays are beastly.
