Nationals-Cubs is a hell of a series. Pretty excited about that one.

Honestly, every series is going to be a match up of two great teams. The Twins don't have a hope in hell of beating New York, so all four AL teams, the Nats, Cubs, and Dodgers are all good enough to win the World Series most years. This is as top heavy as baseball has been in a long time, and there is no reason to be super confident about picking any team to win it all.

Absolute truth. I can see us getting bounced early or making it to the WS. You can make a good case for everyone.

The DBacks belong in that list.

Really all 8 playoff teams are great teams. (Assuming the Yankees & DBacks win their WC games).

In a 5 or 7 game series, this might be true, but I think any team has a decent shot in a 1 game, winner take all.

Statistics are for losers. LOL! I'm still worried about Sale even with our record against him. All it takes is one good game from anyone. Just ask Paul Bryd and Jake Westbrook.

Boston doesn't scare me at all to be honest. Houston is a bigger threat at the end of the day. Also Yankees are a bigger threat than the Twins so go Twins! Beat them Yankees!
