ESPN has gone on a limb. Here was the intro into Sportcenter this morning:
No playoffs for the Bronx Bombers this year. Why the Yankees 11 year postseason run is about to end.
Every single ESPN baseball analyst has predicted the Red Sox to win the division based on the Sox defense (who thought they'd see the day), pitching and bullpen. More specifically they cite Red Sox pitchers Craig Hansen and Mike Timin as middle relievers who can get the ball to Papelbon, compared to the Yankees lack of strong middle relievers to get to theit star closer Mariono Rivera.
Then, of course, is the dominance that is the AL central. This is gearing up to be the first time ever that two teams from the AL central will advance to the playoffs as it looks to be almost a sure thing that the wild card will come out of the Central Divsion this year in the person of either the White Sox or the Tigers.
Oh, would heaven be so kind to give us a playoffs without the Yankees? Oh could that day truly come?
Most of them also predict a World Series of White Sox vs. Mets. I'm pulling for Red Sox vs. Mets and Alan and I will be enemies for seven games, this time without Bill Buckner or Bucky F&*^%$ Dent.
And One More Thing
Bud Selig can kiss my pucker. Maybe he should worry about fixing the steriod problem instead of pretending he's a doctor.

I wonder what the prophets are going to say now after a weekend sweep of the ChiSox. Look out, Boston; objects in the mirror are closer than they appear...
Well, my fear is that the prophets words will jinx my beloved Sox. Besides, it's not like the Yankees aver really go away.
