They have a great coach (Tony LaRussa) and the MVP(Albert Pujols)

They do not have a great coach.  They have a great MANAGER.  Tony LaRussa is a MANAGER, not a coach.  And it is early April, no one knows the answer to your question.  They could have a good year.  It's too early to speculate.

It's simple buddy......they Tigers always had the talent, it was just having the coaches really push the team.  The Tigers managers for the past few years have been real soft with the team, and now having a manager really pushing the team, and not making excuses when they lose is great!  You forgot to add an ex-Pirate to the coaching staff of the Tigers.....Andy Van Slyke.

why is this so hard to believe. The Lakers have one of the greatest coaches coaching them in the zenmaster. They have the best player in the nba in kobe bean bryant, and he came in with more chips on his shoulders because steve nash might have robbed the mvp award from him. And like you mentioned, they have a vastly improved luke walton, i have to give him credit for that because he was terrible a year ago, and lamar odom is a triple double threat any given night; he has been fantastic throughout the playoffs thus far. Also, Smush Parker's heroics and shutting down Steve Nash fairly well. Phil Jackson's Lakers have the better formula in their style of play to win in the playoffs, they play slow tempo and try to maintain control. The Suns play a more fast break style added with the three ball that they live or die on. Nash is their playmaker and locking him down breaks down the engine. The games have been close because of the freak of nature shawn marion, without him like you saw in the extra period of the last game, the suns could not buy many baskets other than on the perimeter. It never hurts to have the clutchest shooter in the game today either!

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

well the past few years, they have not had the talent to kick butt in the NL and make a move at the world series. This season there is tremendous promise from a talented core of young dynamite hitters and they do have enough pitching to make a run at it. Two teams will stand in their way- the st louis cardinals and the ny mets, both have talent pool respectively to setback the phillies. the phillies likely will get the wild card and very well could make the world series. if pujols and the rest of the cardinals hitters forget to show up again in the NL championship series again this year, then the phils are good enough to supplant them from the top. only time will tell but your team is exciting to watch- pat burrell and aaron rowand are two great players and the team is loaded with talent (they are abit young but hey they have a shot)\nDEFINATELY A SHOT BUT I WOULD RANK THEM THIRD BEST IN NL UP TO THIS POINT BEHIND STL AND NYM

he is stil the man.  don't believe anything until it is proven.  big mac was a great cardinal.  Look up to Albert Pujols now.

Sorry, but I don't play video games, so I don't know if this fits your criteria.  I think Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals is one of the purest players I've ever seen.  I'm not a fan of the team, but I think he's an amazing player.

They need more than a lead-off hitter.

I am...have been all my life.  They are playing really bad right now without Pujols.  It's kind of scary actually.  You don't know what you got until it's gone.  I don't know what happened.  They got people that can hit and were hitting with Pujols in the lineup, but now that he is out they can't hit anything...and the pitching isn't going to well either.  I still think they can reach the pennant but at this point, I don't think they can without a healthy AP.

David Wright.  Pujols is on the juice, so his stats are suspicious.
