The AL East.

Yankees - In the past couple of years, they take pride of being the best, but this year, it's looks more questionable than in year's past. The veteren superstars are beginning to show their age (especially Jeter late in the season). CC is still the Ace, and Hughes had a solid year, but Burnett needs to step it up, and with Vazquez gone and Pettite retired, who's going to fill the 4th and 5th spots. Nova and Mitre look to be candidates, but they will hardly be inning eaters. With the offense of the other East teams (Sox and O's in particular), their starters could get killed. The bullpen however, looks a lot strongers. With Soriano and Rivera pitching the 8th and 9th innings if they have leads, the game is over. The offensive is not a problem, with the biggest question mark being Russell Martin. With two down years with the Dodgers, can he regain his form. Other than that, the only other question mark is their age. If they can keep up with the numbers posted the last two years, they have some hope. But all in all, they will get their butts kicked by the Sox with the rotation they have.
Prediction - There is no denying that the Red Sox will take the crown, that is, as long as a freak accident does not happen. I am going to be very Gutsy and saying that Baltimore will take 2nd place. That offense is too strong. The Yankees will settle for third. The Rays and Jays will be alot weaker than last year, but based on the coaching staff, the Rays should avoid last place, with the Jays sitting on the bottom, both with about 70 wins. NL coming soon, if not today.

another Red Sox fan who can't stand to face the truth....so maybe after another 500 innings you will admit the Red Sox pitching sucks... and I think Beckett goes together, as I remember hearing he is the #3 pitcher, LOL!

PS. Also Wonder how Crawford will do off the turf and at Fenway. I said AG would be a great pickup but Crawford needs to hit, LOL! For like the next decade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Angels and Boston Lose so Yankees....better come back, but at least they can't lose ground.

And, Major Stinkeroo by the Red Sox as the Top 6 Red Sox Regular Starters, all went hitless....seems like the Crawford stink is contagious. Yup Crawford, 0 for 3...and 1 for his last 15! O MY!

Ya, my team got knocked around today. Might as well get it out of the way, considering that Haren and Weaver are scheduled up next (For the record, Sunday is Weaver and Verlander, the battle of the Cy Young, and according to sources, that game is already sold out, no surprize there). At least Texas lost their game, putting us at only 2 behind. Thank goodness the Halos are in a winable division.

I meant pitching lineup. Sorry for the confusion.

Since Gun stopped talking, with the Yankee success this season, I had to check out what people were saying.

And even besides RSN, others were bashing the Yankee pitching! Except for oner smart unnamed expert!

CC 15 WINS
Garcia 9
Colon 8
Burnett 8
Nova 8

Can you say the best 5 man rotation in baseball? If not, name the current team with their wins.

PS. Who do you think is the RSN fan who blasted the Yankee starting pitching and the Yankee relievers, after Joba went down? (Yup, I knew that was crazy talk, so I called him on it right away!)

PS 2 Yankees won the 1st game on DH, 8-3!

The Red Sox got Behard who is good picture when healthy. The Yankees got nothing. They tried to get the picture from the Dodgers but he refused to leave LA.

Weaver is a punk.

Verlander may very well break Ryan's no-hitter record. When the guy is on, he's unstoppable.

They tried to get a picture from the Dodgers? I didn't know pictures can talk. Just kidding, if you meant pitcher, you're probably talking about Kuroda.

Weaver hit with a 6-game ban. In what is an extremely tight race for the Cy Young, that missed start will hurt.
