It's A Bronx World: 2010 Major League Baseball Predictions

Somehow, I pulled it off, despite my best efforts!

Anyway, we got all six divisions picked. But it's not just about the division races.

Here are all my (wrong) predictions for the upcoming (already started, I guess) baseball season.

If you weren't paying attention last year, the Yankees won it all last year, and they have a very good team returning this year. Sunday's loss to the Red Sox showed that they're not appreciably deep in the bullpen, but Joe Girardi made it work last year. No reason why they can't make it happen again.
