I'm going to try to be as objective as possible here, which could be damn near impossible being that i'm a die hard Mets fan. I've heard every excuse why the Mets aren't the team to beat this year and it pathetic how people want to try to cut them down, playa hating and all.
1) The Mets can save on air conditioning with all the whiffing taking place with Piazza, Vaughn, and Burnitz.
2) Question marks about Vaughn and Astacio's health.
3) Well they are the Mets, you have to come up with reasons why they won't win.
Every year its the same old song. Well i'm going to tell you why the Mets will win it all.
A) 1 thru 9 nobody has a better lineup. Burnitz is our #7 batter for christsake.
B) Our pitching is above average, not stellar, not world beaters, above average. Even if our lineup has average seasons all around they would more than hold up enough of the weight to get this staff through.
C) Defense. The best infield in baseball is back. Watching Ordonez and Alomar work their magic will truly be drool inducing.
D) A legitimate leadoff batter who steals tons of bases.
The Cardinals will win the central, Giants will win the west. The Atlanta will get the wild card.
In the AL, the Yanks will again dominate. I hate the Yanks but I respect their tremendous will to win. In the central im gonna go with the sentimental favorite, the Minnisota Twins. I think it would be great to see them spit in Bud Selig and hell even the owner's face by putting on a great season and drawing lots of fans. Fucking corporations are ruining baseball. But i digress, Oakland will win the west and Seattle and Texas will battle it out for the wild card, ultimately Texas will win.
Yanks and Mets meet again in a rematch of the 2000 subway series.
NL MVP: Mike Piazza, the protection will allow him to reach heights he never could have dreamed.
NL Cy Young: Schilling, he will distinquish himself from the big unit.
NL ROY: So Taguchi, Ichiro's teammate in Japan.
AL MVP: Jason Giambi, will make Yankee Stadium his playground
AL Cy Young: Mark Mulder, will give batters fits this year.
AL ROY: Esteban German, put up some nice numbers in AAA, good leadoff guy, steals a ton of bases
Mets beat the Giants in 4 and Atlanta beats the Cards in 5 the DS. Mets beat Atlanta in the NLCS in 5 games.
Yanks beat Oakland in a tight 5 game series, Twins continue a magical season as they whoop Texas in 4. Yanks beat Twins in 4.
Mets beat the Yanks in a classic 7 game series.
