Angels pitching is hurt, and the bats left.... Not at all like the team last year...

Meanwhile ,the A's stepped up.

I say A's take the Al West.... the rest of your picks look good. I like the Cubbies too....

[AlisoBob]

Jack and Zambrano


Go Cubs!

[Exnav]

Cards bullpen blows the save. Same as last year.

I loathe Zambrano.

[Ported&Polished]

Baseball is why I don't like people from Chicago and New York. To many of their fans bail out and move to Cali and the games where a NY or Chi team plays the Dodgers or Angels is flooded with these idiots. And none of them buy their tickets, they are all comps from businesses so if you sit on the visitors side of the stadium you get the feeling your in another state. Fawk all those snow birds, I hope Chi and NY get last place like they deserve.

From what the news said a few cops/court ought to be charged with dereliction of duty.
