    Give your surprise playoff team this year???

    My surprise this year is Tampa Bay hitting the wild card in the AL East... I also like the Braves as the NL wild card...

        Not sure there will be a "surprise" but my pick would be Texas. They could easily slip into the AL West picture if the Angels can't find a groove.

          Guess that means what you mean as surpise team.

          I can't see TB being a "surprise team" seeing as they are the 3rd best team in the AL.

          I'm not really sure Atlanta is a surpise team either Tom Tango and Chone both have them as the best team in the AL east .

          Looking at the AL and NL west, any of those teams could come out of it.

          I like SanFran's pitching in the NL west and the Cubs have a much better chance than most people think.

            would hardly call the Cubs a surprise either .. just cuz they cant win it all doesnt mean they arent good every year or have the talent to do it

                I like it but it will come down to Webb's health and Haren's 2nd half of the season... not a bad one to take a stab at

                  Phil, StL, LAD, Atl

                  I think the wild card chases will be fun to watch in both leagues. TB, Col, or SF might be able to sneak in.

                    I would be shocked if the Cubs make the playoffs I think they are 75 wins at best.

                                                      Got some pitching, emphasizing defense and speed. Look alot like the Twins of a few years ago.

                                                      Watch for Billy Butler to go off this year, if he can turn those doubles off the wall into HR's, he could easily hit 35

                                                        totally, big Billy Butler fan, i think he'll certainly have a big year, the rest of the royals though i dnk...lol

                                                          Not a homer play or anything.
                                                          hopefully their pitching can hold up...they should have no problem scoring runs

                                                            Until they deal the big man. That might hurt.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?
