National League East
There should be plenty to boo for the fans who show up for these games. I know that’s an important consideration in some east coast cities.
Winner: The Nationals. After the Strasburg innings-limit controversy and their heart-breaking choke to the Cardinals in the playoffs last year, the team should be broken in spirit and revert back to their Expos roots. But, here’s where Bryce Harper picks the team up and puts them on his back and into the playoffs. It doesn’t hurt that the division is kind of weak.
The rest in no particular order.
Braves: Should be a great team, but they always seem to be missing something to put them over the top. The real question is “Can the Braves recover from the loss of Chipper Jones?” No, not playing abilities, his sex appeal to women. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never seen anything like it. Oh, to be Chipper for a day. I don’t think there’s a replacement for him on the team in this all-important stat.
Philies: Ha, ha, ha. You guys spent all that money to buy championships and you suck! Nobody else in the league learned a lesson from you either. How long before the true Philly fans start showing up to heckle you? Ha, ha, ha.
Mets: Meh.
Marlins: Dear Mike Stanton, stop calling yourself Giancarlo. You’re going to want to be as anonymous as possible during the reminder of your playing time in Miami, along with the rest of your team. I wish I had the Jeffrey Loria piñata concession at Miami Vice Field. Sincerely, me.
