MLB short and sweet

One of Bleu's favorite things (At least how I saw it) was sitting on the couch with me watching baseball. So to cut the tension for the rest of the season , I will tell you what will happen.

At the half way point it should be easy.

NL East--Phillies
NL Central--Cubs (with DeRosa taking a dive with the cards and the Dl giving the Cubs' best player back its a lock)
NL West--Dodgers, Duh
Wildcard--Giants(That right, the effin Giants)

AL East--Red Sox
AL Central--Tigers
AL West--Angels
Wildcard--Rangers, I hope

Anyway there is no doubt that the Red Sox will own the AL when push comes to shove. The NL has a few questions Cubs/Dodgers/Phillies. Despite my bias in this conversation, there is no denying that the best lineup in Baseball belongs to the Phillies. I mean, Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Ibanez, Werth, Feliz and whoever plays catcher. How did they build this team? They gave up Burrell for Ibanez in the off-season. Ibanez is on the Dl right now, but will be back in a week and already has out-performed their highest expectations for him. Who wants to pitch to that lineup? Only chance is the Dodgers and they don't have the patience for it. Phillies will win the World Series again versus the Red Sox. God help us all from the trash talking coming out of Philly for the next year.

(This may or may not be a jinx, you make the call).
