Three pitcher parks in the division and Oakland/Seattle will bring up the rear in offense. Texas will probably finish in the top half of offense.Quote:

He doesn't get to face the likes of the Reds, Astros, and Pirates on a regular basis anymore though. And if you're gonna put it up against the fact that they lost Lackey it's definitely a net loss, in my opinion anyways. We'll see though.Quote:

Meanwhile, in Staten Island, a young man is weeping uncontrollably...

So good.Quote:
