Because the Phillies took the crown from the Red Sox last year, I will let Christine have the honor of posting her picks last, so here are my predictions for how we will take back the championship.
NL East: Phillies
NL Central: Cubs
NL West: Dodgers
Wild Card: Reds
AL East: Red Sox
AL Central: Royals
AL West: Angels
Wild Card: Rays
World Series: Red Sox over Phillies. Jason Bay hits a walkoff home run in Game 7 - the first blown save in three years for Brad Lidge.
NL MVP: Ryan Howard - even though he's on a playoff team again, Mr. Pujols.
NL ROY: Cameron Maybin
NL Cy Young: Tim Lincecum
AL MVP: Youk
AL ROY: Matt Wieters
AL Cy Young: Jon Lester
Who will be the next player revealed from the list of 104 who tested positive for steroids in 2003? Papi - sorry big guy, I hope you're clean.
First manager fired? Joe Girardi - after Alex Rodriguez blames him for his steroid use.
Who's the first team to be called "this year’s Rays?" Royals
Which team's disappointing season will be attributed to players participating in the World Baseball Classic? While Mets fans will be tempted to use this as an excuse for yet another collapse, I have a bad feeling when our team's two most valuable position players (Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia) left the tournament with injuries.
Some news today: There was a union of two big losers: Gary Sheffield and the Mets. We here at SoxandPhils prefer to root against him as a Met than for him as a Phillie. Tomorrow, we'll have picks from someone who won't be rooting particularly hard for either Shef or the Phillies because he's a Nationals fan looking for his first playoff appearance since 1981. (Yes, I had to look that up.)
