I'm pretty new to Baseball and trying to decide between the Cardinals and Angels. Which is you favorite? Thanks!

I'd call the two teams about even right now, but St. Louis has a greater chance to remain good because:\n-They have a lot of young talent (the Angels are older in general)\n-They play in the weaker league (the AL is much more competitive)\n-They're built around several quality players (the Angels are very star-dependent with Vladimir Guerrero)

Good to see Paul O'Neil's name come up. He and Mattingly were my favorites and remain among my favorites to this day. O'Neil was one of those players that brought an intangible to the games he played - a determined grit... a never surrender quality to every at bat. He carried this with him for every game he played.\n\nHe wouldn't give up and wouldn't let anyone else around him give up - a true warrior of the diamond.\n\nThis quality is seldom reflected in stats - a shame... On numbers alone, he wouldn't make the hall. In the minds and hearts of those who saw him play and witnessed his daily contributions - it matters not.

Pujols all the way. You can talk all you want about Derrek Lee, but he hasn't gotten that team into the playoffs. Albert's actually a proven winner, and he finished ahead of Lee in quite a few categories last year. And Albert doesn't take steroids, he's always been that big. He didn't suddenly put on 15 pounds and have his head get really big.

I'd take the second one.  Some decent power there with Dawson, Cepeda, and Killebrew, while the first group is more contact hitters for average.  Starting pitching not quite as good as the first group, but still with Marichal, Niekro, and Feller, a decent staff.  No real reliever though.

BOSTON SOX ALL THE WAY!!! No, I'm not the least bit excited about baseball (can ya tell?). :) I'm really looking forward to the season, and my city now has a new 1A team that is a farm team for Boston. Go Drive!!! Ok, I know, the Greenville Drive isn't the most exciting name, but it's better than the Sand Gnats. No offense to the Sand Gnat fans meant of course.

American: Red Sox or Angels\n\nTheir starting rotation is good and Papelbon is the real deal as a closer. The Angels have balanced starting, middle and closing talent.\n\nNational: Houston\n\nThey have the best balance (even without Clemens) and their starters have been good early on. The Mets have too many questions in the starting rotation, but Wagner is amongst the best closers ever.

Bob Gibson, # 45 for the St. Louis Cardinals.  Dominaiing, intimidating pitcher.  In one season, he had a 1.12 ERA, incredible and still a record.  The most famous bob gibson alive.  Go Cards!  Cubs Suck

the angels should win it, but they must find a way to get their youngsters (kotchman, ervin santana) producing and their veterans (erstad, anderson) healthy.  it's a good mix and scioscia always has then playing well come september, but the athletics could give them a run for their money.  the rangers and mariners have some good players, but i'd expect the angels and a's to battle it out, with the angels finishing on top by 3 or 4 games.\n\nwe'll see, won't we?

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.

I like Yangkees.  I like Red Sox too.  I love baseball and I love baseball players.  Yangkee have many great players, with great personalities (because of the management), although I don't like George Steinbrenner.\n\nI just don't think anyone should hate the players, except those who ruined the game with steroids.

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

I think the Red Sox have a very good pitching staff, especially with the emergence of Papelbon.  But, after Schilling and Beckett, there is a drastic drop off...Tim Wakefield anyone?!?\n\nI would have to say the best staff in baseball belongs to the Oakland A's.  They have so many young guns: Zito, Harden, Haren and Blanton and a great young closer in Huston Street.  Having a veteran like Esteban Loaiza helps the staff and Kiko Calero coming out of the bullpen rounds out the staff nicely.
