I think your picks are compltely insane. Not only Texas winning the division but the Angels hacing less wins than the Twins. You make Sports Illustrated's picks look good.

Speaking of Sports Illustrated I hope they also pick the Yankees to win the World Series. It'll be all the more fun when they gag in the playoffs. Wake me up when they actually develop a young plauyer instead of buy one. Also wake me up when they get a decent starter under 40 and not off the scrap heap.

I don't believe I stated weather or not the Yankees were gonna win the World Series. Last I knew, I said they were going to win the AL. Maybe I did say they were gonna win the World Series......oh wait, I didn't. So read closely next time JrCuss. And I never said the Angels had less wins than the Twins. I have them both down at 91. So pay attention when you read there JrCuss, cause you miss a lot of things.

Pulen as you already know I think you picking the Rangers to win the West is outrageous but the Blue Jays winning 95 games and the Wild Card? C'mon man you're telling me Glaus, Burnett, and Ryan instanly make the Blue Jays as good as last years Red Sox and Yankees? because thats how many games those two won last year. I don't think so pal. I can guarantee you that at some point, perenial DLers, Glaus, Halladay, or Burnett will go down for a significant period of time with some sort of injury. The loss of Orlando Hudson will hurt the pitching staff more than you think and BJ Ryan will have to give me one more year before I'm sold on him. For this team to win 95 games they can't afford to have anyone get hurt and they need career years from everyone.

As a Jays fan I can say that they are a much improved team this year and could very well make it to the playoffs but no further than the ALDS. They're a building team that still requires some work. The loss of Orlando Hudson in my opinion is no big loss He couldn't hit worth #### anyways, but he did have a good glove. They have plenty of young good talent to take his place. I can see them beating out the Yankees and Red Sox this year to take first place in their division just because the Yankees are old and the Sox and pretty much dismantled...quite frankly I'll be happy if they finish 10 games over 500 anyways, and as long as the Yankees don't win the world series I'll be happy :)
