Last saw the Yankees and Sox weren't the only teams in the AL East
Who would have known? anyhow, as representive of a team with a number of fans here that I can count on my finger, I hereby will make my simplistic baseball predictions here.
AL East: Yankees win first, Sox second as the wild card
AL Central: Twins win again
AL West: A battle between the Rangers and Angels for first
NL East: Braves find some way to win again despite the Mets impressive build up this off season
NL Central: Cardinals win it again
NL West: Shit I dont know, perhaps a classic dodgers and giants battle.
World Series: I dont know for sure.

1. I agree with most of your picks
AL West will be the Angels
NL East will be Marlins
NL West will be Dodgers
NL wildcard will be the Giants

4. Yeah
Well I said NL East will be Braves since they manage to do it every year somehow. NL West is a toss up to a lesser degree the AL West, but I agree about the Angels. Sigh, typical year in the AL East though but we could be pests, and other than playoffs, I love to see the orioels fuck with the yanks and sox who I have come to dislike equally.

17. Oh certainly no
Sorry, its in the city. But you can get to Fells Point by taking a water taxi I believe. The Museum is in the same part of town as the stadium I believe. The Aqauirum is also cool if youer planning to stay long.

18. Just one night of partying and then going to the game the next day.
I got caught in the nastiest hale storm last time I went. It was last May and I was going to Glen Burnie. It suddenly got dark and hale was pounding the car. I thought my car was going to be destroyed. It actually made out with no visible damage. Thanks for all the info.

6. We may be vacationing in the Baltimore/DC area next spring
I have heard Camden Yards is a great place to see a game...hopefully they will be in town, so I can catch a game there.

14. Yes I want to go to both this year
I dont think Ive been to a game since Ripken retired, that man was my hero as a kid. Ive really come to love Miguel Tejada though but no one will take the place of Ripken for me, funny thing is many people idolize players like them, Ripken and I were different kidns of players, add to the fact I am a lefty too.

15. Nah.. the Tigers are taking it home this year, baby!!!!


J/K... I think Kleeb's right on with the picks. It would be nice to have a season where something unexpected happened, though.

21. They'll be in second or third place in the NL East
Braves will win that but it will be the NL East team that will be the wild card. Anyhow, enjoy another division title Maggie, Ive only had one in my life time and only two second place finishes, you guys have more world series titles than that in the last ten years. So I am allowed to be the eternal cynic.
