Who thinks the NY Giants will continue to improve this coming season?

I expect everyone in the Mighty NFC East to be much improved. Don't get too excited about the upcoming season as the REDKINS will be winning the division and going to the big dance in Miami.

i'm a yankee's fan, but if the season eneded right now, i don't see them going the distance only becuase their pitching has been inconsistant at best. detroit is playing some amazing ball, but i think they might lack the maturity to really carry it through( if they stay intact, i'd think they'd be a really great pick for next year). I guess if i'm gonna stick it out there, i'd have to give it to the chicago white sox in the american league. they might be a little shaky in a couple of positions (center field need's a ton of help)...but to me they are the entire package, good offence and for the most part solid 'd' and pitching( i love contreras).\n\nin the national league, the mets are playing incredible baseball right now. their sticks seem to always be on fire and with pedro and glavine pitching the way they are, they almost seem unbeatable. billy wagner might be the thorn in their side, he's great, but he show's a vunelrability that could be the mets down fall in  tight games.\n\nof course st louis is out there too. right now without poujous, they might not be able to put it all to bed, but it's early...and i'm sure when he comes back....the cards will be a major contender.\n\nthe reality is it's way too early in the season to think in terms of october, a lot of teams cleveland, oakland, minesota, which were getting shlacked early on are starting to get all the pistons running at the same time...oh yeah let's not forget the dodgers...they are really starting to turn it on.\n\npersonlly, i'm thinking this could end up being an exciting season. there are a lot of good teams out there....the diffrerance between the "have's' and the "have not's" is a clearly defined as in years past.

He was smart enough to hire norv turner and they are doing better then expected.  I would like to see the 9ers let alex smith cut loose and be more aggressive, he needs to take that next step.  They still have to prove they can beat a quality opponent thats a 100% healthy.  I'm cool with the improvements Nolan  has made with ther 9ers for now, I think next season especially if we have a good draft we might compete for the playoffs and this year is not over yet.

I think so. They got a great pitching staff, good bullpen(jenks). Then their hitting lineup aint too shabby. Thome, and konerko carries the load. Crede is getting better by the year. iguchi and posednik can get on base and steal some too. overall, solid team all around. Got a good shot, better than any other team.

Heck yeah!  The improvements they made last year over the year before...even with Kellen out for yet another season and Braylon Edwards missing roughly half the season...were more than I thought they could do in a year.  Now, they've picked up some great defensive players, don't forget about Joe Jurivecius (sp?), and they GOT RID OF DILFER!!!! (yeeeah)\nThey are still in the toughest division in all of the NFL, but I think they will make the playoffs this year as a wild card behind the Bengals....even if Baltimore gets McNair.

GO GIANTS!\n\nWith that said, I think it may be a hard game on the G-men. Somehow it always seems that halfway through the season, just when things are looking good, their defense craps out. \n\nI'm also worried about the fact that the Bears lost last week. Not only did they lose, but they lost to Miami. MIAMI. That's a humiliating loss. I'm sure that they're going to really want this win on Sunday. \n\nStill...I have faith in my G-men. If Eli can keep it cool, Plax (if he's playing) can hold onto the balls, Tiki and Brandon can run the ball, and our defense try to hold off the Bears, I think we'll be okay :) Here's hoping!

This is a HUGE game in that division.  The Giants won the first meeting this season, and if they pull this one off they will be in control of the division with a 1/2 game lead AND a season sweep of "the boys".  As for "the boys" they could all but clench that division with a win over the giants and solidify a playoff berth.  Both teams want the win, and both teams need the win.  But in the end, I am going to take "the boys" 24-14 over the Giants.

If Schilling and Beckett can stay healthy they have a great chance...and if the sox do make the playoffs, they have the best 1-2 punch to be successful in the playoffs...once Coco gets back, you're going to see a different offense as well...moving Youkilis to the bottom of the order is going to make a big difference and their defense is very solid.

i think they are definitely the best team in the nl right now.  after finishing a 10 game road trip 9-1, they are going to keep the momentum going as they head home.  their next series is against the orioles and they should take at least two out of 3 from them, if not sweep them.  they will probably then be tied or ahead of detroit for the best record in the league.  i personally think they are better than the tigers.  they have more experienced players, young talent, veteran talent, very good player leadership, and a great coaching staff.  they keep winning and they have fun doing it.  i think the cardinals are the next best team in the NL.  as said by someone before me, even without pujols they are holding their ground in the NL central, and they have some very underrated players like rolen and edmonds.  (Thanks to whoever stated that before me.)  BUT, i think it will come down to the nlcs between the mets and cards, and the mets do have a better bullpen, and their batters are all very clutch.  i can see the mets and the white sox in the world series this year, and the mets winning it closely in 7.  possibly a repeat of 1986.  we'll just have to wait and see!

Extremely good.  Eli is going to have a stellar year with all the experience, Tiki is always good and has lowered his fumbling, Shockey is recovered from his injury, Plax is going to have a breakout year, and the defense will be vastly improved with lavar in it.  If only they could make the most of their picks, they'll be fine.

No its not...the Giants are a mcuh better team incontrovertably.  The Bears have not played a good team yet.  THe Giants are definitely the best team in the NFC.  Lets go G-MEN

The Redskins are coming off a very respectable year under coach Gibbs.  \n\nThey have added WRs Randle-El from Pittsburgh and Lloyd from San Fran to an offense that returns WR Moss, QB Brunell, and RB Portis.  This offense should be able to put points up against any defense.  \n\nOn the other side of the ball, the defense is bolstered by a key pick up in the secondary with safety Archuleta from St. Louis and some draft picks that could add to the LB squad.\n\nTO SUM UP:\nWith everything in place for the Redskins, they are going to have to really get creative if they want to break fans hearts again this year.

To tell you the truth, they need a lot of help so it is not likely that they will be in the near term. But on the plus side for them, they have assembled a  very good young pitching staff, which is a must for any team that wants to contend on a tight budget to have (Think of the A's when they had the big 3 of Mulder, Hudson, and Zito). They need to make better decisions on player evaluations, but I think that they do have a shot...

Shoot since its still May I don't see anyone IN the world series. Baseball is a long season pal.  And the Giants? Honestly?\n\nPS Giants are in LAST PLACE in the NL West.

I am a Yankee fan through and through, but I do think the Cubs are moving in the right direction. Hopefully Sweet Lou can come on board and make some changes. Soriano is a great player. Personally, think the Yankees should have never traded him. So, I think the Cubs will have a better season. I do think it will take them time to build but the are on their way.
