Got the 2007 Baseball Preview. Thought you'd be interested in seeing who they picked. Also there's the "10 worst" and "10 best" moves of the offseason.

The Cubs will come in 5th? Hello. Wow.
I know we didn't sign the BEST pitchers, but 5th? DANG that's low!
I'd say 2nd in the NL Central. [KNOCKS ON WOOD]

For real, I think the Top 3 will be Reds, Cubs and Brewers (if everyone stays healthy, of course). I'm not gonna slurp all over the Cards. Plus, they DESERVE to finish above .500. lol, deserve. Oh lord. I am still pissed about the World Series, can you tell?

[is still pissed with you]

If the Cardinals can win the WS with the team/record they had last year, I think the Cubs have at least a CHANCE to win it with their changes. O_o

Someone please explain to me how the Mets are finishing ahead of both the Phillies in Marlins. THEY HAVE NO PITCHING! At least pitching that is healthy. Okay, well, Maine. And that..other...guy. Glavine? yeah, him. BUT. And I hate to say this becasue it's so...weird, but Philadelphia actually has a real good rotation (although, no bullpen. Which is also Florida's ish. BUT Florida also doesn't play in a bandbox so that may not be AS costly)
I DUNNO. MY POINT IS. FISH FINISH FIRST YEAH WHAT I SAID IT. Just as long as Jake and Hermy and Ani and JJ don't die.

And I hope David's suckiness from the second half of last year picks up where he left it. Haaaaaaaaahahahaha.

PS, you might wanna change the date on you Friends-Only entry because it's 2006 so it doesn't appear first, this does, unless you make this Friends-Only but I don't see why you would.

Fuck the Phillies, they're gonna break my heart again. I REFUSED TO GIVE IN THIS TIME. I REFUSE.
Yeah yeah, you can laugh at me in July when I'm all OMGGG ♥

I don't know. Apparently lineup > pitching, except not. I was actually expecting them to pick the Phillies for the NL East and Marlins for the WC. But when are they ever right, anyway? They've picked the Yankees to win, or at least get to the World Series for the past like, 7 years. Haha.

HAHA, in the Marlins "Keys to Victory" it says:
Former first-round pick Jeremy Hermida needs to realize his vast potential at the big-league level.
Poor Herm. :(

Yah, I'm gonna. Or change my layout so more than one post shows at once. Hm.

I'll remember that for when you're all OMG PHILLIES EEEEEE. :P

*Dodgers: Not as long as Grady Little is managing the team
*Yankees: They have redonkulous luck so I wouldn't bet on it
*Mets: Yes I think they have a pretty good chance for NL East
*Cubs: They'll tread water
*Red Sox: Definitely is in their favor but remember, Yankees have redonkulous luck as well
*Phillies: Plausible but don't hold your breath
*Bronson: As much as I love the guy, no.
*Marlins: That was more of lightning in a bottle but I think they'll still be mad fun to watch.

Oh and how is Torre being re-upped outrank Matsuzaka? Someone explain that to me please?

DONT SAY THAT YES BRONSON WILL BE AWESOME. Omg, they're paying him enough, he better win at least 15.

blinding_voip February 11 2007, 00:18:44 UTC
Uh, he's never won 15, has he? His career high in Boston was like 12...

piney61 February 11 2007, 04:14:08 UTC
Actually he's won 15 in 2005 :P

AL East/West is pretty true right now. But ouch, Reds as division winners = totally wrong.

I'm amazed at how many of those deals actually sucked, on both sides of good and bad.

The worst one is probably the Schmidt deal. Zito's deal is retarded, but at least he's still pitching.

Gil Meche probably turns out to be a pretty good one. or not. But hell KC's offense is horrid so... lol 3-0 loss, 4-2, 4-0 loss.

lalalaa. I'm not logged into lj since I'm going to leave soon. So I can't see your fonly entries x)
