Who's your early World Series pick ?

I know it may be a little premature, but who do you see as a potential World Series champ.

I'm going with my beloved Oakland A's. I know they're slumping, I know Barry Zito is struggling and Eric Chavez is hurt, BUT they have been the best second half team the last 3 years, they are almost unbeatable at home, they're starting rotation might be the best in the MLB and they finally got a closer (Octavio Dotel).

Here's how it'll turn out
NL Wild-Card round
Cardinals over the Marlins
Cubs over the Giants
AL Wild-Card round
Yankees over the Twins
A's over the Red Sox

NL Cahmpionship Series
Cubs over the Cardinals
AL Championship series
A's over the Yankees

World Series
A's over Cubs in 6
 
Well, so much for the A's new closer. Fucker blew a 4 run lead in the 9th but they spared me the heart attack by winning in the 10th inning. It sucks when you feel like everything might fall apart as soon as the starter gets removed.

What sucks even worse is that the A's owner is a multi-billionaire and he cries about being broke. He could have resigned Giambi, Tejada, and Foulke, but he just wants to make a profit. IMO, sports aren't about making a profit, they're about achieving greatness at any cost.

BTW, I used to feel a lot more comfortable when Foulke came in the 9th, he also had the most 2 inning saves last year cause the rest of the bullpen sucked. He threw like 85 innings, which is a lot for a closer.
 
yankees dont have the pitching to beat any good hitting teams unless they can score a million runs a game, which actually though they might be able to do, but theyre still a bunch of homos go sox

Bump.
Rooting for the Yankees (Unless you or you're family are from the area) is like rooting for Bill Gates to win the lottery.
 
Red Sox and Cardinals would be sweet. St. Louis has been more than 20 years now without a pennant.
 
Yankees vs. LA Dodgers

Yankees beat Eric Gagne 2 times and win 4-1.
 
Yankees vs Red Sox, the only time baseball is on the edge of your seat TV :) Yes I am a chick that watches and follows baseball :rasp:
 
I can see L.A. doing some damage with their pitching, but it may not be enough. I hope to see those two in the NLCS
 
the astros have won 17 of the last 20. they are gonna keep the momentum up and make it to the big series. but i am from houston.

Pedro is supposed to be their ace, and he went and conceived the fact the red sox are the yankees little bitch. Everybody arleady knew this but he should have never publicly acknowledged this fact. The red sox only hope of ever winning another pennant is to leave boston and go the west coast, and join another division. Haha go YANKEES.

Yanks IMO do not have the starting pitching to win it all this year.....

If they were any other team but "THE YANKEES" I would agree. When it counts the offense is more than capable of compensating for the shortcomings of the pitching. Lets remember that they have 6 (maybe more) players who are 20 homer or more. Lets not forget names like, Jeter, A-Rod, Lofton, Matsui, Shefield, Williams, Giambi, Olerud...need I say more.
 
Couple records:

1. Yankees - 3 consecutive 100+ win seasons (maybe franchise record)
2. Yankees - 7 consecutive divison championships
3. Red Sox - 7 consecutive division 2nd place finishes. Second to who...see #2 :rasp:
