That looks pretty decent. The NL East, AL East, and NL central divisions should be particularly competitive. I don't think the Cardinals will do that poorly though.

They seem like reasonable predictions. Which is to say that it's a bunch of ass exhaust by people paid to blow things out their asses. If they were so smart they wouldn't have to work for a living.

They sit around all day and shoot shit about a game, I wouldn't say they're working much and I would say I'd trade places with them any damn day.

I would agree with that.

I'm not sure the D-Backs are as good as advertised either.

I agree with both of you. Our ass exhaust is just as good as theirs. I was also a little surprised to see the Rockies projected for 4th.

Switch the Jays and the Sox, and the AL east looks about right.

Yeah, I was surprised that the Indians were above Detroit as well. Doesn't matter because my White Sox are going to finish higher than the both of them.
