    Tim Hudson and Barry Zito are the two best young pitchers in baseball and they happen to be the 1-2 starters for the Oakland Athletics. Throw in Mulder, who also will be awesome, and you have the best young pitching staff in all of baseball. The A's will be a team to be reckoned with for a long time if they are able to agree to an extension with Giambi.

    The Red Sox will choke again because they SUCK!!! Everett is already acting up in the club house and Nomar is not 100%.

    Yankee in 6...unless they face the Astros, then in 5.

    Yes!! Baseball is my favorite sport! I'm so pumped for opening day because I'm taking my one year old son to his first Astro game!

    I'm a ridiculous Astro fan but I don't think they're going to win the division. Yes, they will improve a ton...but the Cards starters are tough. Here are my picks:

    NLCentral - Cards
    NLWest - Giants (how can you pick against them??? you try every year and they just win..dusty baker is EASILY the best manager in baseball)
    NLEast - Braves (if the Mets had picked up David Wells, I would have picked them)
    NLWild Card- Astros -- around 88-90 wins..they're really going to benefit from unbalanced schedule.

    ALCentral - White Sox...forget it...a good young team who added Wells. Indians got worse, not better..and they weren't good enough last year.
    ALWest - Oakland...very strong pitching
    ALEast - Yankees...duh
    AL Wild Card -- a couple of weeks ago I would have said Boston...now I'll say the Mariners, on the strength of young pitching.

    Ultimately I think the Yankees will likely play the Cards in the Series. The Cards will benefit from a weaker, older Braves team this year. I'd love to see the Giants win if the Astros can't.

    The Red Sox would have the best pitching staff in the majorss easily . . . if this were 1988.

    But its not. No one on that staff other than Pedro is any good and the Red Sox great line-up is an injured player, a loon, a guy who once played in Coors field and a guy who plays bad defense and pulls his hamstring a lot.

    Even when healthy, I'll take the Rangers line-up over the Bosox, and the Astros over the Rangers.
