i thinking the Cubs are looking pretty good, especially with the new coach and that talented pitching staff.

It 's interesting that you seem to like Howe so much yet rag on the Astros. Howe has won 0 playoff series as well. The year after Howe left Houston is when the team started their streak of 2nd and 1st place finishes. Art is a nice manager, but I guess since he has never won a playoff series, he has never won anything - right?

You caught me out. I think Howe has done more with less and may be just right for the Metsies. I think Jimy has done less with more. The team is better than its manager, and the team is not, IMHO, playoff likely. I HOPE I AM WRONG ABOUT THE 'STROS. I WILL BE ROOTING FOR THEM, but that doesn't mean I have to believe in them.
Quite a few of you had 4 of 8 - but no real Nostradamus out there. I thought I would have done better than 2 of 8 - that's just sad.
