    My wife although Scottish born is an avid baseball fan, she is a Braves fan.
    Not sure why except that I am fitba daft, but I dont follow any North American sports, I have the daily newspaper delivered to my door seven days a week, and rarely read the sports section, unless I caught a soccer article, funny I dont even keep up with the MSL.

    I guess your wife is a good choice, since she supports the best mlb team :84:

    now serious words:

    Division Winners:

    East: Red Sox (The new japanese sensation looks grand plus they could add JD Drew and keep Manny)

    Central: Detroit (The champion of last season will be strong again this year!)

    West: Very tight Div, I'd say the Angels will do it, but watch out for Oakland and probably texas, if sosa will find his form again.


    East: Braves! Offense was good enough for a playoff spot last year, the bullpen killed us. it's much, much stronger now, beware mets!

    Central: Cards, as usual.

    West: Padres, Greg Maddux plays for them now.

    Wildcard AL: Yankees

    Wildcard NL: NY Mets

    I dont support the MLS or the NBA.

    I love American football then hockey and then baseball though.

    now serious words:

    Division Winners:

    East: Red Sox

    Central: Detroit

    West: Oakland


    East: Phillies! We have powerful hitting lineup and our starting rotation is pretty * good now. With Hamels, Myers, Garcia, Eaton and Moyer. Plus we even have a good reserve starter in the bullpen, John Lieber.

    Central: Cubs

    West: Dodgers

    Wildcard AL: Yankees

    Wildcard NL: NY Mets

    Not really into baseball but if I had to pick a team I have always leaned towards the New York Yankees.

    Most important though is that the Texas rangers don't win. Simply because of their name and the same goes for the Chicago Cubs. Bunch of wasp racist * and no coincidence both teams wear blue white and red!

    Chicago White Sox traditional fan base included the south side Irish base while the Chicago Cubs were very much the wasp anti Irish brigade.
