The differences of opinion's center around the Red Sox/ Yankees rivalry. ESPN will love that. It's not that I think the Red Sox are bad, I just really like the Yankees with the additions to the Starting Rotation, and the Rays were definitely not a fluke. They will be good for years with those young studs. The Red Sox will be the best team not to make the playoffs in baseball, and the Yankees will bring in the new Stadium with a bang.

  1. I'm not saying that the Yankees are horrible, just with the money they spent this year if they don't make the playoffs you have to call it sleeping, even if they win 90 games.
