It would be sweet to see the Cubs get to the WS, but as a diehard fan I don't see ti happening.

If the Cubs can't win it, my 2nd choice would be the amazing Rockies.

Re: MLB

Yeah, Tulowitzki and Holliday are unreal but Rockies pitching is an abomination. I still think of the days when the Rockies had Gallaraga, Bichette, Helton, Larry Walker, Vinny Castilla. Every game Coors Field was like a NASA launching pad.

AL Cy Young: CC Sabathia. I still say Beckett was better this season.
NL ROY: Ryan Braun. Edged Tulowitzki by 2 points on the ballot. He can hit a baseball. Tulowitzki was a better fielder though.
AL ROY: Pedroia. No Brainer.

Roger Clemens going down. Dave Justice admitting that he took HGH twice. I'm the biggest baseball fan out there and I love it. Here's the final list of those implicated in the steroids/HGH scandal surrounding baseball. I'm expecting more to come.
