On a more positive note, opening day for is just four days from today. It's going to be exciting to finally see some games, and not have to deal with all this steroid talk. The reason brings a plethora of intriguing questions:
How will the A's fare with the new pitching rotation?
After trading two of the Big Three, it would seem that the A's are in for a rough year. However, the guys they got in return, combined with Rich Harden's emergence as a legitimate ace, should keep the A's in contention down the stretch.
How will the Giants fare now that Barroids is hurt?
Taking away an almost sure baserunner figures to hurt the Giants. But they as well have picked up a good amount of talent. In Moises Alou, they now have a second power threat that they haven't had for a while. If their pitching can hold up, they have a good shot at taking the division, with or without Bonds.
Who will be the rookie of the year in both leagues?
I won't even speculate about the National League, but in the AL it figures to be a nice race between Nick Swisher of the A's and a couple of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
How can a team named "The The Angels Angels of Anaheim" exist?
Will the Sox be able to repeat?*
How will Randy Johnson pitch for the Yanks?
Will the Tigers continue upward?
Stay tuned, 'cause an exciting season of baseball is on the way.
*no.
