I'm not going to throw up predictions, but there's no way Cito wins MOTY. One reason is that the Jays won't beat expectations, the other is that Cito was never recognized by his peers even during the dynasty years.

That said, I'm looking forward to a year of Senile Cito being the most entertaining thing about the Jays since half our rotation is on the DL.

Yes the pitching sucks....but I think they'll score enough runs to be decent and play spoiler. The Rays and Sox are dynamite but the Yanks have a crazy amount of questions too for a team with as big a payroll as theirs. I'm not saying the Jays win 90 games.....but I think they do decent enough.

[Clawson]

You idiots! You don't need to rape the other team when Halladay is pitching. Save some runs for the other 4.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Well Halladay would have been 25-6 and won the Cy Young with even average run support last year, so I'm not complaining.

[Maxx]

Don't worry Clawson, I'm sure by midseason, Halladay won't even be there anymore.

[bill_da_bill]

ugh. my tigers could be in a for a very long season.

[gunnar hendershow]

Don't worry Clawson, I'm sure by midseason, Halladay won't even be there anymore.

Is it too early to start with the talk of what uniform he'll be wearing on August 1?

Frontrunners have to be Mets and Cubs.

[naiwf]

If the Mets got Halladay, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. With him and Santana at the front of the rotation we might actually win a championship.

[DMN in the House]

Nah, your bullpen would still meltdown and the Phillies would catch you. Or you could end up in the playoffs with the best record and get swept, although thats more the Cubs gig.

I hope LA's pitching come together, and when I say LA I mean the real LA team, not that shit team from Anaheim. If it does, we have the best line-up in the NL.

[Maxx]

Thats a bulllpen that has Putz and K-Rod in it, I can't think it'll melt down that badly.

Granted, it won't even need to meltdown when Oliver Perez is starting.

Not sure the Mets even have the prospects to get Halladay.

Why must you pick at healing scabs DMN?

[DMN in the House]

Cuz everyone is picking the Mets over the Dodgers.

[Maxx]

Mets are definately need another good pitcher before they win a World Series though. They're certainly closer to it than they were last year though.

That's why I said they might actually win it if they got Halladay. We don't have the pieces to get it done, but we're 1-0 and living the dream right now.
