they will get close but I think they will lose out either in the first round or in the AlCS

I hope it is.  It's been a long drought since 1984.  \n\nI guess I can't complain too much though.  Unlike many Cubs fans and - until recently Red Sox and White Sox fans - I CAN remember my favorite team winning the World Series.\n\nI think the Tigs will stay in contention.  They seem to be having some troubles with the Yankees, but they can't possibly continue the winning streak they were on for the whole year.  If they stay healthy and continue to play good baseball, I can see an interesting September - and, hopefully, October too.

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 think they a good chance of winning this year.

Last year they talked about the NL "worst", this year it's starting to look like the AL "worst". Hey I'd like to see the Dodgers and the Angels in the series but I don't think it'll happen this year. I guess it's still early enough in the season that anything could happen. However, in order for the Angels to even get to the playoffs, they'll have to change the way they're playing. Right now I'd put my money on the A's in the AL west and either of the Sox or the Cards to win the Series.

Cardinals great hitting\nWhite Sox they won last year, the cubs might never win\nIndians they are more likely\nMarlins the have Dontrel Willis\nOrioles by defult\nYankees a team that has a better chance then any of the others win it this year. The mets can not win that division.

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.

Right now they have a 1/30 chance, which is roughly three percent.  \n\nThere are other variables such as luck, injuries, and performance that can raise this number.  \n\nIf the Mets go to the playoffs at the end of the regular season they will have theoretically a 1/8 chance which is roughly 12 percent.  \n\nIf they go to the World Series, they will have roughly a 1/2 chance depending on such things as whether they have homefield advantage, a healthy pitching staff, and guys that step it up big in the playoffs.  \n\nThere is a high probablity your Mets will not win the World Series this year.  But you never know and this is Baseball so anytihng can happen.

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

I think they will have second place in the AL East behind the Yankees, and no wild card position.  Their starting pitching isn't a safe bet anymore and the bullpen is rocky, especially with a questionable Foulke.\nThey will hurt without Damon's ability to make magic on the basepath, and Manny doesn't really seem all too happy to be there.\nThe rest of the American League has gotten a lot better, especially Toronto, so they can't count on those wins anymore.

Yes. Like the BoSox and White Sox. The Cubs are due! I say defy all logic. The Cubs will win in 2006.

The New York Yankees\n\nCurrently, the odds are for the World Series are:\n\n* The Yankees 7/2\n* Chicago White Sox 9/2\n* New York Mets 5/1\n* St Louis Cardinals 7/1\n\nThe Kansas City Royals are at 400 to 1 \n\nBoston Red Sox 10/1

If their pitching holds up, the Cards have another shot at the World Series. They were the winningest team in baseball last season for a reason, and Pujols is as hot as ever. That guy always seems to come up with a homer when we really need one. He did so again today in the bottom of the ninth against the Reds, to win it 8-7. Go Cards!

Oh yeah... The Blue Jays have a solid young team and can pick up a few key pieces to the puzzle with the way free agency is set up. I could see them winning in a year or two. And we know it's possible, the Marlins won the World Series 6 years after they were even created. That right there should mean that it is feasible for any decent team to win it in 4.

Probably 3-5. They'll finish with around 92 wins and the White Sox will be a few behind them.

I think things are looking up for the Pirates, with the hiring of Jim Tracy and the signings of Jack Wilson and Jason Bay to long-term contracts.  But, I'd be lying if I said I thought they would win a World Series soon.  I think a more reachable goal is .500, which after 13 losing seasons, would be a good thing.\nIn response to the answer given by rhinoloco3000, I care for the Pirates, and I am not the only one.  Over 1.8 million people attended their games at PNC Park last season, which was an increase of .2 million over 2004's figure.  Ticket sales are on track to be even higher this season.

The Cubs are my sleeper team this year and I think they will get into the playoffs as a wild-card, but they won't win the World Series. Anyway, I want to see the Pittsburgh Pirates win the World Series, even though it is almost hopeless for me.
