Don't care bout the rest, nl central champs da cubs. World Series champs, da cubs. Juan pierre is going to turn it all around at lead off and mark prior is going to pull a suprising I'm not really injured I was fooling all of you jackasses. And of course he and Woods are going to stay healthy the entire year and their bulpen is going to pull they're collective heads out of each other's asses and manage to win some of those 1 run games.

Edit: when I have time later today I'll actually look at the season and pick the rest of the divisions

Braves, Cardinals, Padres, Mets

Cardinals over Mets in NL

Cardinals over Jays in World Series (hope I am wrong about this outcome).

I'm sorry, but the Jays have a better team then the Red Sox this year, hands down. Schilling sucks, the Sox will miss Damon. The Jays went and picked up some serious firepower in the off-season and if Burnett stays healthy we likely have the best 1-2 in the league with him and Halladay. We also have the best staff in the East.

Thats a huge if. Thats like saying the Cubs will have a great staff if Kerry Wood stays healthy. The Jays did spend a lot of money, that doesn't equal success. Just ask the yanks.

Yep, but you lose hella credibility as a Cubs fan when you use the name "Woods" to describe Kerry Wood!!!!!!

That's my biggest Cubs related pet peeve. Next to the fact that they suck.

Oops, got to love those typos after pulling an all night, good catch shabi. I still haven't spent enough time looking over the divisions to make any real predictions. Spent too much time actually doing schoolwork and such.

Updated Mar. 26: Although GM J.P. Ricciardi still won't admit that A.J. Burnett (elbow) will need to begin the season on the disabled list, pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said there's little chance the right-hander will be ready for the first week of the season. The Toronto Sun believes Burnett will miss two to four starts. Unless the setback is any more significant than the Jays have been letting on, two starts would be sufficient. Burnett threw from 60 feet on Friday without any problems. He hasn't reported any soreness since breaking up scar tissue in his right elbow eight days ago.

He and Prior or going to have a hell of a battle for the Cy Young award for simulated games this season.

I'll give the edge to Prior.

I almost posted:

but I realized that would be a waste of a post and would not add anything of value to this thread.

Actually, I made my post after they reported the injury. He started throwing from a mound again today and he is only going to miss 1 or at most 2 starts. He'll be back in mid-April.

Am I the only one who thinks Prior and Wood starting the season on the DL (thus giving Guzman and maybe even Hill a shot at a spot in the rotation and subsequently impress everybody) is a good thing? Maybe I'm crazy, but I'll take anything that'll get Jerome Williams out of the rotation.
