I'm seeing a huge amount of ass-kissing of New York. EW.
So let's see...
*Yankees win the WS despite a rotation that's on Social Security
*Cubs still predicted to lose big?
*Mets win the division despite... no rotation whatsoever
*Sophomore Slump for the Baby!Fish?
*Red Sox miss the playoffs despite adding Matsuzaka?
*Tigers miss winning the Central? (How?)
*Wang for CY?
*Phillies and Marlins pitching > Mets pitching... yet the Mets win?
Talk amongst yourselves or something. :P
