Too early for predictions, I gotta see some spring training first. All I have to say is don't sleep on Arizona and the NL West.

[bigdog]

Yea I know but I can't keep track of all the moves in the offseason so I gotta just get used to the new rosters and shit like that.



As for our rotation?

The reigning Cy Young winner Brandon Webb (DAMN RIGHT! haha)
Randy Johnson
Livan Hernandez
Doug Davis
Enrique Gonzalez / Edgar Gonzalez / Dustin Nippert / Micah Owings - your guess is as good as mine here, gotta see who seperates themself from the pack in March

[menace]

i got da Cubs gettn into the playoffs this year. that is all

im with your right there man got big hopes for them this year cuz they actually spent some loot

[Beastoftheeast]

no chi sox love?

[illmatic630]

no chi sox love?

fuck da sox

[bigdog]

I don't like that rotation Real, Randy is nothing anymore, and Livan is past it but he can still eat up innings, Doug Davis...bah!

and beast...

we got a great offense, 2nd in the major leagues in runs last year, and only better this year, so we'll challenge new york again for that...travis hafner, grady sizemore, victor martinez make for a nasty center of the lineup

starting pitchers are top to bottom one of the best

our weaknesses are
- bullpen, which was addressed with joe borowski, roberto hernandez n aaron fultz, so thatll help but we'll see, you never know with bullpens
- middle infield defense, josh barfield we got in a trade so that solves 2b, we need peralta to be better at ss
- team smartness, we made a ton of dumb base running mistakes

if we can fix the bullpen though, with the twins gone without liriano and the white sox in a down year, it'll come down to us and the tigers, so it'll be interesting

[Frak]

how bout that new japan guy the red sox got...think he'll choke under pressure (being in the USA) im not even gonna try to spell his name??

[Beastoftheeast]

maybe, but hes gotta be insanely good for that kind of cash, id bet more towards being one of the best in AL

[menace]

no chi sox love?

naw i aint down with the sox i was happy for them when they won the world series but im a cubs fan 4 life

[Beastoftheeast]

pretty much...

and BD, if you think Barry Zito is gonna win a Cy Young pitching in a new league with a new delivery, youre outta ya mind homey... (Zito no longer uses the full windup... just a shorter slidestep motion, similar to Denny Neagle's old windup... thats gonna affect his curveball alot)
