They have
The Royal taking the Central too. I want a year to come where nobody picks the Cubs to win. That way, we don’t get our hopes high.

Honestly, I distrust any publication that picks the Royals this year.
Kansas City isn’t terrible, mind you, but I just don’t see a winning season there, let alone the playoffs. How exactly is it that they became such a trendy pick lately?

I really don't see why everyone thinks that
A lot of people knew that the Rays were going to be a good team last year, because of their defense and their starting rotation.
The Royals on the other hand, have a few good young players, Gil Meche and a couple of replacement level players at first and in right.

Maybe people knew the Rays were going to be good...
… but did anyone see them as a 97-win World Series team, a year ago? Doubt it.

NYT is a very liberal newspaper............
but I’ll take it
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
Leave the politics out of this, please.

Liberal does not always refer to politics Al.............
I meant liberal………….. as free from prejudice

It is actually just one writer's prediction
Not the Times as whole as they don’t work like SI.

Forgot they even have a sports section
Kinda like NPR picking the Cubs to win the World Series. Based on what? The last 102 years?
I love how people think that can predict the WS
Who makes the playoffs, sure, but as to winning it all, there is way to much randomness in those short series.
