No way! You've already had your fairy tale season come true! LOL! It's our turn!! Although I'm not quite sure if the Cubs can make it all the way this season. I do think they'll be much better this year.

I'm not big on making predictions though... I just keep hoping! I figure I'm only in my 30's, so I've still got a chance to see them win in my lifetime...

And as long as it the Yankees or White Sox - that will be fine by me!

That reminds me of my prediction...

Anybody but the Yankees.

I have been a bit disconnected from baseball recently, because my team is the Braves. My original team was the A's, but I let them go in the 90's when they starting getting rid of all my favorite players.

All I would like to say about this year's baseball season is I hate Barry Bonds, and REALLY hope he does not break the home run record. He is a punk and a thug, (not to mention a drug addict) and he has no place in the game.

Shame on the Giants for re-signing him. I guess they aren't good enough to draw the fans without him. Maybe they can put a big top above the field at AT&T Park, because the Bonds Circus is about to begin.

I'd like my Tigers to get back to the series and win it this time--the pitchers are doing LOTS of fielding this spring training!!

You certainly have been doing a lot of celebrating over the years.

A lot of celebrating.

Here's hoping the Braves return to the upper echelon of mediocrity.

 

[Bob Slydell]

Ummm, Go Tribe?

Actually, I think they have a pretty good core of players, but then again, I thought that last year too.

Amen to that! Last year was especially nice! My son-in-law is a Cubs fan. I told him he better not raise my grandchildren with that sort of thinking!

Actually, I used to enjoy watching the Cubs on WGN, listening to Harry Carry (hiccup!) & Steve Stone. But once they became division rivals of my favorite team, the Astros, I can't stand them!

Let's go METS!!!!!

They do have a good core of players but to me their a wildcard... They will either be in the AL Central Race or they will be out of the playoff hunt come July... Cleveland needs to find a spot for Ryan Garko everyday

We'll miss Soriano, but as long as we have Zimmerman and Patterson, I'm
happy.

So who are your Preseason World Series Predictions...

Yankees beat the Phillies in 6 with an Andy Pettitte win. Championship #27!

 

[manchurianbrownbear]

Hopefully two teams with payrolls under $100 million.

And my Twins are comfortably in that category!

I agree!!! Well anybody but the Cubs and Yankees...

 

[kctwinmommy]

I agree!!! Well anybody but the Cubs and Yankees...

OK, so why??? I say the Yankees cuz they've won their fair share! So I want to know why not the Cubs? I guess I ask that cuz I don't understand "hating" a team for no real reason. I mean, I don't like the Cardinals cuz they're in our division and it's a rivalvry. And the W. Sox, well, we're a fan of only 1 team in this city, and they did win 2 years ago. So I don't cheer for the W. Sox at all. But, I've never understood hating a team who hasn't won it in nearly a century!!??

 

[Mnementh]

I'm not even worried about who's going to win the world series. I'm just concerned with if the Orioles are going to finally get out of fourth. I'd even take a third place finish!

It's a tough division, that's for darn sure - 4 out of 5 teams have a chance (sorry, Royals fans!)

I have to cheer against your Tribe though, since I'm a big Twins fan. I was so bummed when they got shut out of the playoffs last year after a truly amazing comeback season. (The most fun I've ever had at a baseball game was the final game of the season, where the packed stadium was watching the scoreboard more than the game, chanting "Let's Go Royals" to help the Twins clinch - plus Mauer getting his batting title. Ah, it was baseball heaven that day!)

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Cubs too - my first love, what made me a baseball fan as a little girl. I guess my first taste of what it is to be a Cubs fan too, since it was 1984 and they lost to the Padres that year. *Sigh* someday I'll get to see them win it!
