Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 03:16 PM by AllieB

23. I'll go against the grain ..
and say the Mariners win the AL West... of course, their bullpen is their achilles heel, but if you look at their line-up, 3 thru 7 are easily capable of each hitting over 30 HRs and 100 RBI.

27. How About My Brewers at 4-0?
No, I can't believe it either. I'm not knowledgeable enough about baseball to make any decent predictions, but I just had to toss that in there. Gotta appreciate it while it lasts - I know what's comin',
