Rats. I was thinking LA, but I don't think they're overall that good of a team. I like St. Louis much more.

And that's a nice little tidbit for all of those in the MLB thread that think parity doesn't exist in baseball.

Yeah, I would probably go with St Louis too. Never thought the Dodgers were very good and Donnie Baseball will surely cost them a couple wins.

Haha, yeah, I saw this on the facebook. Funny stuff. I have this buddy from Chicago who lived here for a handful of years, and he was a real spaz, he couldn't understand the unwritten rule of how this is a concept here. He nearly got shot because he didn't listen to me.

And that's the consensus I get from most people who aren't from here - I just tell them it is what it is. Just something that's been going on here as long as there's been spots.

If you think that's bad, try getting blocked in when someone double parks down around the Girard estate around 23rd and Passyunk. THAT is the worst.

I hear you. It just gets funny when people being to justify it. I understand where they are coming from at times, but other times I think its nuts.

Now that shit boggles my mind. That and parking in the middle of the street simply because there is space.

That's why I don't try to justify it. I just know I don't want to get shot nor my car fucked up.

Meh. Projections are projections. I don't care if they win 89 if it gets them home field advantage. They won 97 games with a DL-riddled lineup and a down year across the board offensively. Barring injuries, this team can play and beat anybody.

If any of their SPs miss significant time they could be in trouble. Their bullpen sucked last year, and this year's version is gonna be even worse

Agreed, first predictions of the year so I figured I would post. He had the Yankees and Phillies as the only 2 teams from last years playoffs in next years.

Just curious - who were the rest other than Boston? I'm assuming Oakland instead of Texas, White Sox, Colorado, Milwaukee, and St. Louis?

Not bad at all.

9. Parity reigns. Of the eight teams to make the 2010 postseason, just two -- the Yankees and Phillies -- will return in 2011, as the Red Sox, White Sox, A's, Brewers, Rockies and Dodgers create a near-complete turnover of baseball's Elite Eight

I think it's crazy that people are discounting the reds. They are defending central champs and still the most talented team in that division.

I think the cards are gonna be brutal defensively. Berkman and Holliday in the same OF means lots of hits and extra bases. Also, replacing ryan with theriot was dumb. And you know carpenter is due for another injury...he's 35 and has gone 2 years without being hurt, which is an eternity for him. I will be all over the cards wins under next year...they're a .500 team

I do this all the time. The narrow streets are another complaint I'd have about havertown. If I spend 2 hours shoveling out parking spots in front of my house you're damn right that no one else is parking there.

That's one thing I dont' miss about living in the city. The snow really makes things a pain in the ass. Havertown gives me the annoyance of city living without the benefit of having any decent bars or restaurants to walk to. perfect

Love the Reds as well, I'm just going off of Cliffy telling that the article only said the Phils and Yanks were going back so I was trying to figure out who the newcomers would be.

That's funny. I just finished a link last night. We had two long ones for X-mas festivities......that's what she said(actually, for everything I just said - that's what she said). The best - don't even have to cook it.

Like Four Loko before Four Loko - I would live off this stuff during the parade. Ah well, a back pack and a cup of coffee & Tully will have to suffice.

Ahh, yeah, thats what I thought you were talking about. Definitely helpful with as long a day as tomorrow will be. Was thinking about going the irish coffee route too. Might have to get on that.

I think its about time for a beer and if this does not get you pumped, nothing will...
