LA Dodgers – Will Manny be the Manny of the 2nd half last year? Or the dope who wrecked the Red Sox clubhouse? I think the answer to that will impact how the Dodgers do in October, but either way, they’ll get there. This is a team stacked with young talent. Kemp, Ethier, Martin, Loney [...]

NL West Preview 2009
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009NL Central Preview 2009
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Chicago Cubs – I think the Cubs are far and away the best club in this division. Their improved lineup and consistently good pitching staff (led the majors in strikeouts for the last 8 years) make this a no-brainer. Now, when it comes to the playoffs, my confidence vanishes. Lou and the boys will need [...]

We’ll also be doing an [...]

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009Is it “Next Year” yet? I sure hope so. Getting swept out of the playoffs was pretty rough in 2007. To see it happen again in 2008 was just inexcusable. The Cubs agree. They have taken steps to ensure their ball club can compete in October. Below is the projected starting lineup for the 2009 [...]
Goodbye Felix Pie, hello future

Pie was once thought of as the best prospect in the Cubs system, but never really lived up to his potential at the Major [...]

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Looks like #Alabama might have missed OT Andre Smith in the #sugarbowl.

A guy can hope right? # I think the Atlanta Falcons win a high scoring game. I don’t [...]

We’ll give him a few [...]
