Unfortunatly the Red Sox will be behind the White Sox when the series comes.  \n\nThe final standing will have the Angels, White Sox, Tiger and Yankees in the AL playoffs.\n\nMets, Astros, Cardinals, Some loser west coast team in the NL.\n\nWhite Sox v. either Mets or Astros in series: if Mets, mets win if Astros White Sox win again.\n\nIf injuries stop CUBS! :-)

I think they will do okay this year. They won't get to the World Series but they will do okay.

It is further proof that the white sox have more than enough fire power to go along with great pitching to repeat a world series run.\n\nget ready for part 2 of the ongoing world series celebration folks.\n\nand don't get too cocky detroit. cuz the heat is on...

I'm from NY and a die hard Yankees fan but I rooted for the White Sox in the playoffs and world series.  It was sweet to see them sweep the Red Sox.  I was originally going to root for Houston in the series cause I like Pettite and Clemens but after the playoffs, I was hooked.  The pitching was impressive.  It was great to see El Duque do his thing and was happy to see Contreras be successful as he was not with the Yankees.  I was disappointed when NY didn't acquire Rowand...I really like him but just as glad we have Damon (take that, Red Sox)

I think they can win the world series But with Jeff Bagwell out they dont seem to have the continuity to hold it together long term and any starting staff minus Roger Clemens definitely has a challenge ahead of it.

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

Technically every team has a chance of winning, the Red Sox have a leginament chance but because the player in a power division i doubt they may even make the playoffs. The AL East is loaded with teams that can easily win any other divison. Back to the Sox, Yes they have some of the best pitching and once they get Foulke on a roll they will be unstopable. But they arent very good fielders. Manny isnt very fast, Crisp is hurt and Nixon has had his moments so they dont have much luck in the outfield. Loretta is a decent 2B and Varitek is great but overrated. Lowell their other infielder is slipping from his Marlin days and isnt a productive of a hitter anymore. The Sox dont have much hitting anymore. Ortiz and Rameriz and well thats it. Ortiz is supposably on steriods not because he just got good but he has been hitting double the homers since his twins days and ever since i checked isnt not that easy to hit over the green monster. Even though they are in first now they play in the hands down best divison and there are over 100 games left, i dont think they will hold up.

Are you kidding me. Boston makes one deal and they're in the World Series? They still have to play 162 games. And we will be there.

The redsox will definitly make the world series this year.\nWith all there new talent like Josh Beckett, Coco Crisp, Mike Lowell, and Mark Loreta they are sure to secure a World Series spot.

Yes, I am concerned about when they plat the Tigers. I am a Red Sox fan, and while the Sox have enjoyed successful domination over the Tigers for a couple of years, this Tiger team is good and hard to beat. My prediction is they go all the way to win their division and get into the playoffs. How they will fare there depends on how healthy they remain and if they continue to get good pitching and timely hitting.\n\nGood luck!!

They have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs as a WC team. The WS is going to be a tough place for them to get to, but it is possible. Remember the bad starts that they've had the last two years? They came back from those to reach the NLCS in '04 and then the WS in '05.\n\nThey have Clemens now, and will soon get Brandon Backe back into the rotation. Oswalt is pitching good, but getting little run support. Wandy Rodriguez has been amazing, and if he stays healthy this could be his break-out year. If Pettitte and the bullpen can find the groove they were in last year, look for the Astros in October.\n\nLike last year, this team is all about the pitching. The batting, although not as good as in '04, is doing much better than in '05. If Chris Burke stays hot, he might be the spark the lineup needs to catch fire. With Berkman and Ensberg healthy now, we might see more of that 19-9 type playing that they showed at the beginning of the season.

They have a really good team this year and have a great chance at winning the World Series this year.

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

I think they will get into the playoffs, but by the wild card.  They have good new talent, but the team never really worked together, so they will not be too good at the beginning of the season, but will be great by the end to the season!  And I think that Brian Roberts will be able to play on opening day too!  I think that they will be able to beat the Red Sox, but probably not the Yankees with all their new talent :(:(:(:(:(:(!

Rex Sox all the way baby! Now that they've broken the curse, there will be a lot of Sox Series victories!

First of all, the Yankees suck. Second, they keep trying to buy Boston's players because the Red Sox are the BEST team. Unfortunately, Johnny Damon, Babe Ruth to name a few that went to the Yankees are nothing without the Red Sox. The Red Sox will continue to win and will win the series. Plus not to mention the Yankees lost a game to the Nationals that's embarrassing. The Nationals suck even more. Go Boston!!! :)

Naturally, since I am a die-hard Cubbies fan, I say Go CUBBIES!!!!!; realistically, I think the W Sox have the best chance of winning it again. They have a great team and momentum from last year. True, one can not live off of yesterday's victories, but it sure helps with the morale. They are a team that really knows how to work 2gether.
