4. They can't. They don't have Manny anymore. Jason Bay blows.

18. The Cubs? That Doesn't Make Sense!!
How could they disappoint us? They haven't won a WS in 101 years. We're immune to disappointment 'round these parts!! LOL!

5. Arizona Cardinals
Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 06:36 PM by BulletproofLandshark
Asking them to repeat last year's miracle in an improved (if ever so slightly) NFC West might be too much to handle, on top of the bulls-eye placed on their backs as defending NFC champs.

12. Answer me this
Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 08:43 PM by Upton
how can the Giants ever be considered a disappointment when nobody is picking them to win and the Sporting News is picking them to finish last?

If the Giants are going to be anything...it will be as a surprise.

Meanwhile history is creeping up fast on the minor league Pirates....17 in a row coming right up.

15. How many World Series have the Giants won since 1960?
The Pirates have won 3.

16. And if they lose 17 seasons in a row its an indictment of baseball in general.

14. Red Sox
It might take 95 wins to get to the playoffs out of the AL East, and I'm not sure the Sox have it if/when Big Papi starts to fade.
