man id love to see my rays play philly in the world series. hope it happens.
My prediction:
San Diego will do fantastic and then choke when it counts again
and then I'll have to listen to all my co-workers bitch about how San Diego never makes it through the first round of playoffs in any sport again

Why Hanley Ramirez and the Florida Marlins Will Win the 2011 MLB World Series
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...da-marlins-will-win-the-2011-mlb-world-series
edit: that is actually a very weak list; the headline got me excited
(shit this team doesn't even have a starting 3rd baseman)

I drafted Hanley 1st overall in my draft over Pujols. That was probably a mistake but ya never know. I think Pujols is due for a serious injury.
I am a huge Reds fan, we look to have a solid team again this year with a healthy Edison Volquez our pitching staff is deep. Have 3 awesome 2nd year pitchers in Travis Wood, Mike Leake, and the phenom Aroldis Chapman

^I'd take Pujols over Hanley. Hanley is in his prime and Pujols is a bit past it, but Hanley is a diva. It's a toss up b/w raw athleticism & talent vs. power & maturity.
Aroldis Chapman is going to inspire new religions I predict. He will end up being the most famous guy in the sport--especially in this post steroid era. When do you ever see a whole stadium focus in to watch a guy pitch? We did it during Halliday's perfect game last year, but Chapman can get that much attention every game.
correction: I shouldn't call a Marlins crowd a "whole stadium"

Rangers from AL. Cardinals or Phillis from NL. The Rangers have the best offense and likely the best defense in baseball. In June or July they get a fully healthy Brandon Webb back, and if you all remember 3-4 years ago, he was the best pitcher in baseball. Period. It will be just like the cliff lee trade in the middle of last year. All that plus the best player in baseball if he stays healthy all year. And he will damn it. I need this!
Phillies have two hall of famers with the two Roys, a super star, best post season pitcher in baseball history in Lee and a world series MVP. Why even have a 5th? Not a bad lineup either. Howard is starting to understand how to not strike out and Utely is well... Utely.
With Chris carpenter and the machine, you can't count the cardinals out.
