I felt like this team was going to break out, too much talent, if they could stay healthy (Gagne, Nomar), with the acquisitions of Maddux and Lugo, this team is going to win the West. You know what I would love to see? The Reds win the central and the Cards the WC, so the Mets and Cards meet in the 1st round, meaning one of those teams vs. Reds/Dodgers in the NLCS. Good NL playoffs, but a shitload better talent in the AL. We could have both WS teams miss the playoffs this year.
