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.

Being at the end of June it is hard to say who will be left standing at the end.  The Yankees will have to make some MAJOR improvements if they want to have much of a post season this year.  It will definitly be between NYY and the Sox for AL East.  Right now the Yankees are 3.5 games behind but if your a real baseball fan you know that no lead is really safe when it comes to either of these two teams.

The Red Sox of course.  \n9 Individual Men can not accomplish what 1 TEAM can do.  And that's all the Yankees are.  9 Individual OVERPAID pansies in pinstripes.  The Sox??  We live and die as a TEAM.

How about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays?  They have some really good young talent.  They've made a managerial change as well as front office changes.  They also have some promising prospects coming up soon.  Guys like Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Aubrey Huff, Joey Gaithright and Rocco Baldelli are fun to watch.  Good speed and hustle.  I'm a Yankees fan and like to watch them (rooting for them now as they play the dreaded Red Sox on ESPN)

Definitely not the Yankees.\n\nThe Red Sox will face the New York Mets.  In a interesting turn of events, Carlos Delgado lets the ball go through his legs to let the Red Sox take home the trophy.\n\nSomewhere, Bill Buckner finds some peace....

Mets. If they don't, ANYONE BUT THE YANKS!

It's got to be the Red Sox.  I want the Red Sox and Toronto to finish 1-2 in the East.  Forget the Yankees - they are a bunch of beat up old men.  The only real NY baseball team is the METS!!!!

Sooner or later.  \n\nAnd the division will be weak.  The pitching is proabbly better than the competition, but I think the Piazza signing was a mistake. I love the guy, but it is the wrong ballpark for him.

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!\n\nP.S. to the ignorant Yankee fans, I have a few points to settle.\n\n1) " Who's your papi? "  I believe that was fully answered in 2004.\n2)  The last time I checked, the Yuckees were 2.5 games out of 1st place behind... ah yes, THE RED SOX!

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

I say the Mets.\n\nAnd then we have a Mets-Red Sox World Series 20 years after the first.\n\n(But this time the Sox have a potential gold glove winner at first with Youkilis...so watch out Mookie!)

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

Most definetely the Yankees. They are going to win this year!!!

I would like to see the New York Mets Win the World Series one day (since it is my fourth favorite team in baseball after the Tigers, Indians, and the Cubs), but the Mets are going to need good pitching and they need to be able to win the NL East Championship in order to get a good spot in the postseason. I do think that the Mets will win the World Series this decade.
