    Good picks for the most part. Glad to see only two of you picked Yankees to win it all. No way they take it this year. Phillies are a solid pick though.

    Hey there, visiting from The Puck Doctors. Good stuff, guys. I think the NL Central is really a toss-up at this point. I know the Cards have the pitching with Carp and Wainright and Holliday and Pujols, but the Cubs (assuming they stay healthy) have ALMOST as potent a line up and staff. I’m also not ruling out Cincinnati to possibly (and I say possibly loosely) contend for a wild card spot. Time for the kids in the Queen City to put up or shut up. If they don’t break through this year, they never will.
