you make me laugh...no really thats funny\nhaha\nha ha\nhahahahahahaha\n\nnot a chance in hell my freind to many good teams out there and even if by some fluke they beat out the AL and get to the world series the NL aint to shabby this year you got the mets the astros the cubs(i know i know the curse)but my point is way to many teams that have bigger names and better teams. but hey theres always hope right look at the marlins they cae through it 97 and 03 and 97 was a good team but 03 i mean who expected that honestly i didnt and im a marlins fan. lol every1 thought they get it last year and they threw it away in the last month (sigh) stupid fish need to become sharks and get some teritory of there own(AKA there own stadium).

The year after Showalter left the Yankees, the won the WS.\nThe year after Showalter left the Diamondbacks, they won the WS.\nThis year, the Texas Rangers will win the WS.

They will win the WORLD Series this year.\n\nThey are destined. It is fate. It's thier turn to win it all.

Not a chance.  They have no tradition in the sport and have not even qualified.\n\nHowerver, they do have a very good chance of winning the CRICKET World Cup, in 2007.

That would be nice...but I am not going to expect it.\n\nStranger things have happened (the red sox beating the yankees after being down 3 games to none in 2004 comes to mind).\n\nEven if they play .500 ball the rest of the season that would put them at 94 wins....which could very well be a wild card.\n\nWhatever happens I am simply enjoying this.\n\nThey are long overdue.

Yes, The Cubs will win the world series THIS YEAR!\n\nThat curse has been reversed. However they had to wait until the red sox and white sox both won. Those 2 teams had the longest winless streak.\n\nNow it's The Cubbies turn.\n\nP.S.:\n\n\nit would help if steve bartman wasn't in the stands. lol.\n(no offense to Steve Bartman. I feel his pain. I know he is a Cubs fan, Just that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.)\n\n*excuse me Mr. Knowledgeable, but I think you mean the white sox. How can The Cubs beat tthemselves?*

I wish they would. It would be good for baseball. However, they need to win their division or be the wild card before they can compete for the right to play in the World Series. Both are highly unlikely in the next three years. They just do not have the talent/

As a Royals fan, I am hoping and hoping that it doesn't happen but honestly I don't think it will because they usually manage to pick it up a little bit through interleague play and through the middle of the season.I think they will win at least 50 games this year.

I'm not sure about the "best" team in baseball. But I do believe they will win The World Series this year.

Never?\n\nDivision Champs--1976, 1977, 1978, 1981\nNational League Champs--1915, 1950, 1983, 1993\nWorld Series Champs--1980\n\nLately, the problem has been the Atlanta Braves who are in the same division and have been the division champs for 15 years straight(except the 1994 'strike' year)...\n\nThe wild card is an option for them, unfortunately, there always seem to be one team who is a step ahead of them for that as well.  \n\nPhillies have the talent to be there this year as they have for the last few years.  If they would not fall apart at the end of the season as they have in the past, they could make it.

Yepp yepp, gotta support my home team!\n\nI have my hopes up that the Astros will bring home the World Series again. Now just because Roger Clemens is back, but also because we have a pretty solid team. Yeah, we did lose some games we should have won, but hey, it's still a long way to go in the season.\n\nThe Rocket's return will help them a lot. Oswalt is injured, Wandy is in a slump, and well, our other pitchers aren't that great.\n\nSo in conclusion, yes, I strongly believe that the Astros can and WILL make it to the World Series again!\n\n!!!GO ASTROS!!!

Yes, it definately does. They have showed it recently before as well, going out and getting guys like Pudge Rodriguez, Kenny Rogers, and Magglio Ordonez. And with this acquisition, they filled the one glaring hole they had, which was a power home-run hitter who can fit into the middle of the lineup. If you remember from the World Series, they had trouble putting up runs. \n\nI think the GM Dave Dombrowski is trying to make this team a force to reckon with for many, many years.

i think so.\ni like the braves alittle\nbut right now the stink.\nafter 14 strait years with the\ndivision title, they are 14 1/2\ngames behind the Mets\nand in last place in their division.

As long as those blasted Braves stop SPRINGing back and then FALLing ahead, Mets should win the division, but I don't expect them to win the World Series. Even if they got there, I can't see them winning against the likes of CHW, CLE, or ANA in a best-of-seven series.

At this point yes they have 7 chances. Very good chances too this should be a very good series.

Ok,first the cardinals have won more games than any other team since the year 2000,658 to be exact thats 94 a year.to say they got lucky is like saying the same thing about the bosox in 04 or the astros in 05. Finally winning a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is the icing on the cake. yes the Tigers didn't play up to there potiential but that showes just how hard it is to Win a WS,I'm sure they will be back and maybe the ball will bounce there way next time. It takes more than being the best team to Win,sometimes you have to get the breaks,and then captilize on those breaks,which the Birds on the Bat did.All of CARDINAL nation have been waiting 24 years for this and no matter what anybody else says THE BIRDS ON THE BAT are the BEST team in Baseball for the year 2006
