I'll have you know I arrived at that prediction after a series of long and painstaking math- and computer-based simulations of various projection system pythag-records and fWAR totals and science. SCIENCE, dude.

A few days until all the spodaddies vaporize...

Anyway, I continue to hate Boston/New York series because ESPN rapes them and they are too frequent now, but I really think it is kinda strange how the season both starts and ends in Fenway for the Yanks.

Also, you already know the pertinent prediction: Yankees repeat as WS Champs in 2010.

seemed like the Dodgers became older this season. Padilla as the number 1!?

Th Padilla Floatia is back I guess.

Watch out for the Giants this year. Great 123 in the rotation. Speed with Sanchez, power and contact with Sandoval. They'll make a run at the wild card.

I'm excited to see Boston's best free agent acquisition at Fenway tonight:
Krista Lackey, John Lackey's impossibly hot wife.

Lackey is so ugly, I wonder how much he had to pay her.

Well their biggest free agent was Vicente Padilla. They lost Orlando Cabrera and the quietly good Randy Wolf.

Other than Cabrera their line up is still in tact and barring another suspension they get a full year of Manny, and the always improving Matt Kemp.

They've got a solid back end of the pen in Broxton/Sherrill and enough minor league depth to fill out the rest.

The rotation might be their biggest question mark area, but Bills, Kershaw and Kuroda is a nice trio.

Not subscribing to MLB.tv this year, but ESPN America shows enough games to make things bearable.

Click to expand...
Harper/Strasburg quality? None. I think Gerritt Cole is the front-runner right now, though. Righty, throws high 90s fastball, hard slider, good change. Yanks drafted him in 08 in the first round but he went to college.
