Here's a line that appeared in the Boston Globe over the weekend: "The Rangers could become the first team to have both the league's worst ERA and a winning record. The closest were the 1944 Red Sox, who were 77-77." I hardly think you can blame us for failing to predict something that had never happened before.

Not sure what I was thinking. Guillen is on the Royals. I knew that. I really did. KingCorran, you’re totally right. Not sure what I was thinking. Guillen is on the Royals. I knew that.

I mean, Giambi, Abreu, and Damon all had down years last year, yet the Yankees still scored the most runs of any team in the majors, and it wasn't even that close. So who really cares if Giambi bounces back or not? It doesn't seem like it will matter all that much... I don’t know coley, I think I might agree with Sarah.

And I think it's going to be really interesting to see if vets like Giambi, Abreu and Damon can reprove themselves after down seasons last year. I mentioned the Yankees’ young pitching.

Abreu? Giambi? A-Rod? Snooooooze. The interesting Yankees in 2008 are Hughes, Chamberlain, and Kennedy. The Yankees will be interesting to watch this year, but not for the reasons Coley listed.

White Sox — Kenny Williams thinks his team can win the AL Central. He’s pretty much the only one. Chicago’s other team should have started rebuilding two years ago." 2 years ago huh? Win a world series then break the team up? This list is a joke. Yankees are the most interesting team this year? The Yankees may be the least interesting team to watch. I like this site but who ever wrote this is a beef stroganoff. “27. White Sox — Kenny Williams thinks his team can win the AL Central. He’s pretty much the only one.

And speaking of minor league squads, did you guys see how the Giants got beaten the other day by their own AAA team, the Fresno Grizzlies? And it wasn't some meaningless split squad game or something. It was a final tune-up game before the start of the season in which the Giants started all of their starting players. Yeah, seriously.

I really think the Giants have a chance to be historically bad. The only thing they have going for them is a couple of talented young pitchers. They're an arm injury to Lincecum away from fielding a minor league squad. Nick, I agree. I really think the Giants have a chance to be historically bad.
