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.

Not really. They hardly ever got past the first round. I mean now that they have competition in the Mets they didn't even make the playoffs. I don't like the Braves for several reasons. The main reason is  Chipper Jones. He really gets on my nerves. The man makes millions but yet he can't play for little things for example his toe hurts. Johnny Damon played with a broken toe. I think Chipper is just a spoiled babied player. \n\n14 straight titles is impressive but not when you really look at how far they actually go...NOWHERE!

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're in a very tough division with the Braves, Mets and Nationals.\n\nTake it from a Yankee fan, losing Billy Wagner and gaining Tom Gordon isnt going to help.  He chokes under pressure like nobody's business.\n\nRyan Howard, Chase Utley, Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell will have to step up and carry the offense, and Jimmy Rollins needs to become a force at the top of the order for the Phils to go anywhere this year.

Any Braves closer right now. Our pitching staff sucks and we aren't even going to win our Eastern Division title this year........I am so disappointed.  I just want my old team back.  Why did they have to get rid of Furcal, Maddox, Glavine....to name a few?

Although the NL West remains the weakest division in baseball, I highly doubt Arizona's chances of making the playoffs this year, espeically since only 4 teams from each league can advance to the postseason.\n\nThe Giants look like they are in prime position to win that division, unless the Padres continue to get better.

Without a doubt the Atlanta Braves.  No one has even come close to doing what the Braves have done for over a decade.  As far as the playoffs are concerned, any team can win a five game series, (as weve seen) but how many teams can win their division, by a substantial margin I must add, year after year??  NO ONE!!!  Last year with all of their injuries and having to bring up so many guys from the minors and having them do as well as they did, (Jeff Franceuor, Brian McCann) thats just great baseball.  No one will remember who won the World Series five years ago, but everybody will remember the Braves DOMINATING the N.L. East year after year.  Theres no other choice in my mind the ATLANTA BRAVES BABY!!!

Don't panic...I am a Braves fan but I live in Columbus so I get a lot of Indian coverage.  Believe it or not they appear to know what their doing.  All of the major players are in camp and not being shopped around,  You have solid pitching. Sabathia, Lee, Byrd...You need a closer...thanks by the way! (Wickman)... Sizemore, Hafner, Marte(your welcome) will be fine...I told a buddy of mine last year that his Tigers would be better than everyone thought this past year. This year its the Indians and the Brewers. In case you missed it the Tigers were pretty good....Lucky Guess!!!!!!!!

If you're a Braves fan, you're out there. So I'd say all of them...\n\n\nTHINK BLUE!!!

Yes, definitely!  I am not a Mets fan, but I am so happy they're doing so well...it's about time.  They WILL beat out the Braves for the NL East...the Braves are in THIRD right now, anyway....they might not even make second...

Ever? Yes. This year? Doubtful. Dusty Baker polarizes his players by playing favorites. They will never win a title with Neffi Perez as a regular. They will start the season with  a rookie in left and an over the hill has been in right.  Kerry Wood and Mark Prior may never pitch a complete season again.  Greg Maddox is 83 years old. Sean Marshall is 12 years old.\n\nBy the way, I love this team and I'll listen to or watch every game. But, I won't have my heart broken by believing they are capable of winning a title this year.

I've picked against them the past 3 years (even though I'm a long time Braves fan).  However, Bobby Cox is a great manager, and they always have just enough to win the division.  I feel that Leo Mazzone played a great role in their success due to dominance of the pitching staff and his ability to retread seemingly washed up pitchers.  Now that he's gone, I think we'll really see how important he was.  I've got a feeling their pitching won't be as good without them.\n\nThen again, even if the pitching falls off quite a bit, they've got a LOT of good young players with some experience under their belt, and their offense could turn out to be better than usual.\n\nIn my humble opinion, the Mets should win the division with all the trades and signings they made.  If they don't, then they need to make a lot of orgainizational changes.

of course they will! The astros? haven't they lost 6 straight??? they've been slumping like my beloved Cubs, but the Cubs have a better team, and can still make Wild Card! Go Cubs!
