[...] Mark Fidrych, R.I.P. [...] The Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants are looking strong for 2009. [...] The Phillies are the class of the NL East, while the high-priced New York Mets will disappoint. [...] The Angels' pitching will lead them to a 5th AL West title in six years.

[...] Although it is not the oldest, Yankee Stadium is certainly the most historic sports venue in the United States. [...] It's not the Rays or the Rangers this season. You'll never guess which team will be facing the Washington Nationals in this year's World Series. [...] Two teams to watch: Austin Peay's Governors wield all kinds of secret powers but may be susceptible to a full-court press, and the Mavericks of the University of Texas-Arlington; after all, 2008 could be John McCain's year.
