****EDIT*****

I've added a poll.
WHo do you think will win the World Series?

Please vote as to who you think WILL win, not who you are rooting for. Put down the kool-aid.

AL MVP: A-Rod. He'll have a bounce-back year and shut up the damn critics.

NL MVP: Albert Pujols. He should have won it 4 of the last 5 years anyway.

AL Cy Young: Johan Santana. Duh.

NL Cy Young: Ben Sheets. Finally stays healthy, proves what he can do.

AL ROY: Matt Garza. Breakout pitcher for Twins

NL ROY: (I'll get back to this one...don't know enough about who's coming up)

Well look at the Yank-Me's. The richest club in the universe, but money does't buy success, just sux-cess

And I believe the Nats have more in them than last place. IF they can hold it together.

But probably won't win any more for a very long time (hopefully).

It'll give the Red Sox time to catch up.

Good idea Jim! way to get this started. It's only page 1 and they're already throwing out "Yank-Me's" and "Sux-cess". I fully understand I support the "Lightning Rod" Franchise that breeds love or hate. A stat like this will make people hate you for sure:
The New York Yankees have won twenty-six World Series championships, more than any other franchise and more than the combined number of titles won by the next three most successful clubs in the World Series.
Anyway, here's hoping we treat each other with respect in this thread ( myself included).....
