Seeing the bunch of garbage middle relievers, particularly Clippard, the Yankees could use some Miller fast ball if they can get him back to the No Run DMC club.

Miller is a great reliever and I like the Indians bullpen, but I don't think it's enough to get them back to the World Series. Their starting pitching is overrated and hasn't performed well, and their outfield is iffy. I think that the Astros and Red Sox are the only 2 AL teams that can make the World Series.

Their starting pitching is overrated and hasn't performed well, and their outfield is iffy. I think that the Astros and Red Sox are the only 2 AL teams that can make the World Series. As a person who had watched/listened to 75% of the Red Sox games, I'm here to tell you they aren't a WS team, unless there is a fundamental change. The rotation, past Chris Sale, stinks. Pomeranz and Price (opt out, Davey, opt out) are wildly inconsistent. Porcello sucks (unless he turned something around last night). The bullpen is a joke if they aren't Joe Kelly or Craig (Cy Young?) Kimbrel. The lineup are horrible hitters with runners in scoring position. Near guarantee, bases loaded, no outs=one run only; and bases loaded, one out= no runs. Team has no guts. Want to know why the 2004 team came from 3-0? It was a team of leaders. Ortiz, Manny, Varitek, Pedro, Schilling, Millar, Youkilis, Jesus Damon, Derek Lowe, Bronson Arroyo, they all had guts. No one on this team does. And they are poorly coached. Lead the league in baserunning outs. Lanterjaw Farrell can't manage a bullpen. Cleveland's rotation had been iffy, but I think they will get better. The 'Stros might be truly terrifying when they get healthy. |

I think that the Astros are the top team definitely, they are loaded with talent, every night they have several good players on the bench, every single hitter is good. They have the most complete team by far, of course right now half their starting pitchers are on the DL but it hasn't slowed them down that much.
I think you are being overly harsh on the Sox, they have a lot of talent and their starting pitching will improve IMO, Sale has been excellent, Price has only been back from the DL shortly and will improve IMO and I think Porcello will turn it around. I don't trust Farrell but the Sox are one of the most talented teams in MLB

I don't trust Farrell but the Sox are one of the most talented teams in MLB Figures....when I stop watching baseball..my Astros get good. Im sadly so behind in baseball. I quit around that sweep world series with Biggio and Bagwell. I know we got Beltran, and I remember going,"what happened to Oswalt." Yea, Im THAT behind brother, lol. |

Looks like you missed the part when the Astros became an AL team.  Frankly, I wish they would have moved the Brewers back to AL instead of the Astros. I am still not getting used to the league switch. Sometimes I forgot about it so that when the Yankees plays at Houston, I assume the pitcher has to hit. |

LMAO, yea I did. I remember finding out about it, and was like,"finally."
I got tired of us being in a 6 tier conference, and Rangers etc only had 4 teams. I felt it was a good move. I do hate though being in a division with the rangers, as Astros are like my "1A" and Rangers are "1B" for me. (If my Astros are gone, Ill root for the Rangers.)
Man..we are 50-25.
Mariners are next closest to us at 39-37
JESUS I didnt realize we were THAT good.
Jesus, lookin at the entire AL, next best team is Sox at 41-32.
WOW
Whoa we got the best record in baseball (Dodgers right behind with 49 wins!)
Time for me to start learning this team!
