IDBillzFan Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I predict MLB sees a significant drop in league-wide attendance.
BB27 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I don't know about the rest of the league, but I like the METS, and see them going far this year.

Arkady Renko Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I notice a lot of the same teams being picked as the ones who got in last year. This illustrates one of the major problems with baseball.
bills_fan Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 AL: Yankees, Twins, Angels & Red Sox (WC) NL: Braves, Cardinals, Padres & Phillies (WC) Series: Yanks over Braves MVPs: Sheffield & Pujols CY Youngs: Unit & Smoltz
SilverNRed Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I notice a lot of the same teams being picked as the ones who got in last year. This illustrates one of the major problems with baseball. 293652[/snapback] Or its key advantage. The players on the teams in the playoffs are household names, for the most part.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I notice a lot of the same teams being picked as the ones who got in last year. This illustrates one of the major problems with baseball. 293652[/snapback] And those teams usually have the highest payrolls...
Arkady Renko Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Or its key advantage. The players on the teams in the playoffs are household names, for the most part. 293657[/snapback] Yes Bills fans would love it if the NFL was set up in the same way...
elcrusho Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Well until MLB get's a Salary Cap... excuse me... -Clear's throat- Then you will see the same teams...
gantrules Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 AL East: Yankees AL Central: Indians AL West: Mariners WC: BoSox AL Champ: NY Yanks NL East: Atlanta Braves NL Central: Chicago Cubs NL West: SD Padres WC: STL Cards NL Champs: Cubs WS: Cubs over Yanks AL MVP: Richie Sexson AL CY: The Unit NL MVP: Adam Dunn NL CY: Ben Sheets
Arkady Renko Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 How about someone show some guts with their predictions about the AL East and the AL wildcard?
SilverNRed Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Yes Bills fans would love it if the NFL was set up in the same way... 293665[/snapback] No, I'd hate it. But the current MLB system does have that one advantage that people know who they're watching in the playoffs.
elcrusho Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 WILD WINGS ON TRANSIT SUNDAY NIGHT AT 7PM Yankees vs. Red Sux
Arkady Renko Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I think all baseball teams should be contracted besides the Yankees and the Red Sox. Then the media can circle jerk them without guilt.
