The NL MVP is probably going to be Pujols again, but being a Cub fan I'll say Soriano goes crazy this year.

Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?

No love for the defending NL champs, huh? I think the NL West is the toughest division in baseball from top to bottom (save for maybe the San Francisco Giants). I think it'll be close to a four-team race for the division title, with the wild card also coming from that division. My predictions:
AL West -- Angels
AL Central -- Indians
AL East -- Red Sox
Wild Card -- Tigers
NL West -- Rockies
NL Central -- Cubs
NL East -- Mets
Wild Card -- Diamondbacks
I'm not sold on the Yankees yet, especially without Torre. Maybe Girardi is the real deal, but I'm reserving judgment.

My Cards always make a comeback when no one expects them to. They go all the way with a MVP performance by Pujols! Yes, a big time Cardinals homer, pun intended.

Cyclone
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

Cy- Dan Haren I predict the Brewers will do what the Clones normally do... hang in until the very end, maybe even with the lead, and then hand it away.   |

I'm a big Cardinals fan, but this year, there is no way we will win the World Series, unless our whole team drastically improves in spring training.

The Cubs barely lose after a large lead during the season.
The Cards find some pitching.
The Yankees pitchers wilt without HGH.
KC sells some more players.
Philly hits lots of homeruns.
Tokyo wants to have a team.
Finally more Caribean players than any other group.
Barry Bonds plays for the Texas Rangers who have no star power.
Boston wins the series again.
Ex Yankee manager does well in LA.
Steinbrenner has a come to Jesus meeting on 4th of Jul.
Jose Canseco and Sammy Sosa land jobs.

Thank you Royce for a special year and we wish you the best for the NBA.
