Will the Red Sox be able to hold off the Tigers? Can the A's and the Twins make a serious run at it? Tons of drama setting up in the better ot the 2 leagues.

This is good shtick!!!!WC has NY written all over it.

 

[shadyridr]

I think NY wins WC, Det wins AL Central

Until proven otherwise, I would never bet against the Minnesota Twins to win the AL Central.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Whoever takes second in the Central

Not sure about that. The AL East is FAR from over.

I don't think that the current Sox have enough to hold of the Tigers. Maybe if they get some help on offense....but not right now.

And what happens when the injury bug bites them?

Good point...... there are rumors that Shrek, Man-RAM and Papeblown are all nicked up. You know Nancy Drew and Beckett are going to get hit sooner or later. Lowell historically tails off after the All Star break. This team could be in trouble.....although I think they are going to make a pretty big move....along the lines of Helton, Tex or Cabrera.

 

[shadyridr]

Im pretty sure Bill Simmons predicted this very thing for Boston, red hot start, bad 2nd half.

Tex and Cabrera are going to cost A LOT. Helton will take them out of their "budget" ( )

Yankee fans are starting to get annoying. Please go back to losing and also realize that most people start taking about playoff races in mid July, not mid June.*

I honestly don't believe it's possible for the Tigers to lose a seven game series to the Yankees. What to do now?

Replace the word 'Yankees' with 'Cardinals,' and isn't that what practically everyone was saying last October? Not trying to stir it up, mind you. I am just saying, I think it should be obvious to all of us by now, that, in sports, almost anything is possible.

The Yanks pitching is better this year, and the cancer is on the Tigers now.

I think he meant that the Yanks pitching is better than the Yanks pitching was last year, not that the Yanks pitching is better than the Tigers pitching. That is my guess.

Not really. It's better than most teams though and with all that hitting they are a very good team. Just don't think they are the team, or even one of the top five teams to beat anymore. Maybe that plays to their advantage.
