Cubs in 5 (they're better)

Brewers in 4 (no particular reason)

White Sox in 4 (they've got mojo if you ask me)

Angels in 5 (frankly it could go either way, and I think people who see the Sox as huge underdogs have their heads up their behinds.  Of course all series could go either way in this crazy sport, so what's the point of predicting then? Fun? Profit???)

Cubs in 7 (they're better) MVP: Derrek Lee

Angels in 5 (they're better, mojo runs out) MVP:  Torii Hunter

Cubs in 6 (why not) MVP: Aramis Ramirez

Dear Diary, here are my predictions for 2007:

AL EAST

1. Boston
   
2. New York*
   
3. BALTIMORE
   
4. Toronto
   
5. Tampa Bay

AL CENTRAL

1. Cleveland
   
2. Detroit
   
3. Minnesota
   
4. Chicago
   
5. Kansas City

Cleveland has a hell of a lot of good players.  Detroit got lucky last year, but is still good.  Minnesota has one starter.  Chicago gets the short straw, and Kansas City sucks ass.

AL WEST

1. Oakland
   
2. Texas
   
3. Seattle
   
4. Anaheim

???? I really don't think the Angels are very good.

NL EAST

1. New York
   
2. Philadelphia
   
3. Atlanta
   
4. Florida
   
5. Washington

The Mets' rotation is a joke, but they can overpower the rest of these teams.  Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked to see Atlanta win again.

NL CENTRAL

1. Chicago
   
2. St. Louis*
   
3. Milwaukee
   
4. Houston
   
5. Cincinnati
   
6. Pittsburgh

You know, this division is really kind of good IF IF IF a bunch of crap goes right.  Without Dusty, I have a strange belief in the Cubbies.  I put the Cards 2nd because they have the best player and the best pitcher (close enough) in the league.

NL WEST

1. Los Angeles
   
2. Arizona
   
3. San Diego
   
4. San Francisco
   
5. Colorado

Who cares?

ALDS
Boston over Cleveland
Oakland over Yankees (ahaha, A-Rod 1-21)

NLDS
Mets over Cards
Cubs over Dodgers

ALCS
Red Sox over A's

NLCS
Cubs over Mets

WORLD SERIES
Red Sox over Cubs

You know, I almost want to pick the Cubs to win the whole thing.  It's not like I pick the Sox because they have the best or anything, they're just the bomb!  But I do honestly believe the Cubs have a good chance, and were I a neutral observer, I'd pick the mfers.  They've got the new manager replacing the buttheaded retard they used to have, talent out the wazoo, why the heck not the motherfreakin Cubs?

AL MVP:  Miguel Tejada (yeah that's who I pick!)
NL MVP:  Albert Pujols (he's good)
AL Cy Young:  THE DICEMAN (I've decided to believe big time)
NL Cy Young:  John Smoltz (he was really good last year and why not)
AL ROY:  THE DICEMAN
NL ROY:  Mike Pelfrey??
AL MOY:  Bob Geren??
NL MOY:  Willie Randolph (he should've won last year; he's a good manager)

   The Boston Red Sox may have posted the top bid for the right to negotiate with Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reported, citing Major League Baseball sources.

    There has been no official announcement, and the Seibu Lions, Matsuzaka's team in Japan, have until Tuesday to accept or reject the high bid.

    But Olney is reporting that the Red Sox may have posted the top bid with a figure between $38 million and $45 million, according to Major League Baseball officials who are monitoring the bidding.

Um...OMG?

This is always fun, right? Eh???
