I don't think any one team has really shown themselves to be definite playoff teams. However, Tampa Bay has been really good and even though they have the Yankees to deal with I would say they atleast make the playoffs as a wild card. The AL West is crazy this year, each team does good for a few games then slumps. It will be tight to the very end.

The NYY don't have Johnny Damon any more ,so thats at least one power hitter gone

. The Baltimore Orioles are having one of their worst starts ever. Maybe the Phillies will make another world series apperance.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #3 on:** April 29, 2010, 05:26:20 PM »

I made the following predictions before SPRING TRAINING started

NYY over Minny in 5
BoSox over Angels in 4

NYY over BoSox in 5

Philly over Rox in 3
Dodgers over Cards in 5

Dodgers over Philly in 4

Dodgers over NYY in 6

Other predictions:
AL MVP: Longoria (Runner Up: Miggy)
NL MVP: Pujols (Runner Up: Fielder)
NL CYA: Halladay (Runner Up: Nolasco)
AL CYA: King Felix (RUnner Up: Liriano)
AL MOY: Wakamatsu (Runner Up: Gardy)
NL MOY: Bobby Cox (Runner Up: Colletti)

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #5 on:** April 29, 2010, 05:45:56 PM »

Hmm .. Did not think it was that long ago,thought it was two years ago.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #7 on:** April 29, 2010, 07:17:31 PM »

It could be, but is unlikely beings the Twins weren't in the playoffs two years ago.

Robinson Cano, dont'cha know?
Granderson, Gardner, Nick Johnson and Thames. We lost Damon b/c his agent is selfish, but got 3 new younger, good hitters, and with Gardner and Cano filling their shoes up we are better than last year.
Along with Swisher moving up in the lineup and hitting better, also the pitching rotation is stronger than last year with the addition of Aceves, and Vazquez.
I say NY for a repeat. Rays are doing good now, as are the Mets, and Nationals are not even doing bad, so I would not judge by this early in the season to say who goes to the playoffs. It will probably be the same teams that always make it, Dodgers, Cardinals, Yanks, Astros, Phillies, Angels, Red Sox, yada yada you know.

LOL. That was hilarious xD

IMO, the team with the highest chance of winning the WS is indeed the Yankees. That being said, I wouldn't say they have above a 50% chance of winning, therefore they probably won't win. Lets hope for that

.

I didn't see a lot of moves that would really "change" playoff teams TBH. Its almost surely going to be NYY, BoSox, Minny, LAA, LAD, Philly, Rox, and Pujols. Mariners, White Sox, Rangers, Rays, and SanFran all have a slim chance. DET, NYM, and maybe Cincy? all have a VERY long shot.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:11:46 PM »

Cincy looks good for the first few weeks, and then they generally fall apart right before the All-Star Break, and continue the massive plunge after that. As a life-long Reds Fan I've gotten used to it

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #12 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:14:25 PM »

Cincy is going to finish near .500 this year. Mark my words....

New Raven BR · « **Reply #13 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:20:30 PM »

where did damon go?

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:26:22 PM »

We've finished near 500 most years

The last .500 season we had was in 2000, since then .450 is right around where we've finished every year. But I agree, I could see a +500 season this year. (If Bruce starts hitting in 08 form again

)

Damon plays for the Tigers.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #15 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:30:23 PM »

Oh, nevermind. I was thinking of the Nationals.

The Reds are going to play .00617283951 ball. (Going 1-161)

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:35:26 PM »

That'd be a neat trick, considering They're sitting pretty at .500 (11-11) right now

With all the terrible umps recently, Selig is going to extend the abilities of replay and demand all games this season that had questionable calls be replayed. The Reds will have to replay 11 games (their eleven wins), and lose all of them. They will then go on the worst losing streak ever in the major leauges, 158 games, until winning one game against Los Pedredores de Mexico thanks to Cy Baker's wonderful performance.

(Selig will change the divisions mid season)

NWJosh · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:49:39 PM »

Worst umpires strikezone for the year easily goes to the guy who did the opening day game for the M's and A's. At one point there were 5 pitches that hit right in the middle of the strikezone and he only called 2 a strike

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #20 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:53:00 PM »

A few days ago, Detroit v. Twinkies, the home plate ump was awful too. They'd be missing 7, 8 inches off the plate and still get the strike called. Liriano could have tried to intentionally walked everyone and got a perfect game with 27 Ks.

There was also that extra inning game where Rauch blew his first save.... the ump wanted to go home so he called a runner out on second to end the game, despite being clearly safe by 6 inches.

Yeah,I was't sure why the umps were doing such a horrible job,the umps at the red sox orioles game were okay,but they could have made better calls.

My Dodgers are just AWFUL! They lose at home starting their best pitcher against some nobody from the worst NL team the past ten years (Pirates) and get shut out?!?!? Ugh! Where's Manny when you need him?

I don't watch alot of dodger's games,but I do know they have alot of talent,and will probaly staighten out during the later season and at least make the play-offs.

Tampa Bay Rays are looking "Great".18-5 is their current record for the season.I think if their pace keeps up,and if they don't have any major injuries,they might make a World Series appearance,possibly win the World Series. But the New York Yankees don't have the Ray's amazing record, but they have a great team,and will be a tough opponent.The Red Sox have a decent pitching staff and they have good hitters as well. This should be a good season.
