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.

haha I like this! GO REDSOX! They will win it at home, in 4 games against the Astros. They will have had to beat, I laugh at this, "the best" yankees team. they will beat them in 4 games by 5 runs or more. GO REDSOX!

As a die hard WHITE SOX fan I am hoping that they DO!  After our tremendous year last year and KNOWING what it is like to live in a town that has two teams but the other ALWAYS get the atttention (but for you at least the Yankees win  it still baffels me cuz the Cubs suck) I am rooting for them all the way!!   If the White Sox don't make it (? and I usually root for AL) and the METS do, I want you to know that there will be at least one person in Chicago that will be supporting them.  Screw the Yankees and Red Sox!  If you are a Mets fan -  God you have to be SICK AND TIRED of them!!!!!!!!!!!  Good luck!

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 :(:(:(:(:(:(!

Yes. Never lose hope. If red sox and white sox can do it, we can break our little curse also and head to the series.

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.

Almost every year they get off to a slow start. Once the playoff comes around, their pitching rotation is set, and the millionaries are ready to get down to biz and play some hard ball. They'll be in the hunt this year for the World Series as well as the New York Mets. Now the Yankees have some serious competition this year from their crosstown rival. It should wind down to be an interesting season of New York baseball.

Not this year\n\nLee and Ramirez will have good years, but who else in the lineup is productive?\n\nWood and Prior are hurt, Zambrano is the only legit pitcher on the staff, they have no closer, and Maddux is starting to lose it\n\nThey won't beat the Cardinals, but they may challenge for hte Wild Card if Wood and Prior come back healthy\n\nHowever: Compared to other lineups in the AL and the NL, the Cubs don't scare me

Mets are #1 in MLB right now. They are the under-dogs this year like the Whitesox were the underdogs last year. I would say that they have a pretty good chance to get 100.

they should have a winning record, but i think making the playoffs is a stretch.  they're not as good as the cards or the astros, and the brewers are much improved.  this could very well be the toughest division to win in baseball.\n\njuan pierre will jump start the offense, a huge improvement over corey patterson.  if aramis ramirez and derrek lee can stay healthy, holy cow... they are gonna score a lot of runs.\n\nbut the questions about kerry wood and the closer situation make me worried.  carlos zambrano will have to be the one to carry them. \n\ni'd say 85 wins for the fuzzy cubbies this year.

So far, everyone is wrong. The New York Yankees, with their retirement home staff, will definitely NOT win the World Series. Toronto will be nowhere near good enough to win the division, let alone win the World Series. \n\nThe World Series the year will be won by the Oakland A's, beating the Atlanta Braves in 7 games.

it will be exciting. Many teams look like they will be competitive. of course the allstar game in san francisco will be great and the world series will be exhiting. The new season begins on the 1st or 2nd of april.

Hey you can claim you have proof that the Sox will repeat (and there is a good chance they will) but you don't know that.  Did you have proof the Angels would win the series in 2002?  How about the Marlins when they knocked off the Yankees?  I am sorry No one knows who is going to win and I will tell you why: Cleveland, Minnesota, Los Angeles(Anaheim), New York, Boston, Toronto, and Oakland.  Any one of these teams has the talent to get there.  The White Sox will not have an easy road, so don't go off saying you have proof, there is no proof.  It's a game and that is why it's played.  No one knows who is going to win.  If you think there is always a definite winner and one can always be predicted then maybe you missed the Uconn-George Mason game.  If I had to guess I would say either the White Sox or A's will be there this year, but i am an Angels fan so i have hope for us.

It is true that they're the hottest team in baseball right now, and I like their chances of staying hot throughout the year.  They're pitching has been on fire recently, and some young prospects have emerged which is also a good sign.  Combine that with the timely hitting of David Ortiz and they should be able to make a World Series run.

With the team hitting the way the are and if A.J. Burnett can come back healthy, probably better than a lot of people will give them credit for.  However, they need to surpass the Yankess and/or Red Sox just to make the playoffs and I don't see that happening, not this year at least.
