A long winter ahead....

(Smile)

A bottle of Merlot, a new Lady GaGa video and my baseball blog...(wow, I need a boyfriend).

So, I said Yankees in 6 or 7, and it ended up being Yankees in 6. Yay! We now move on to the realm of the offseason, which in some ways (well, not really) is more fun than the actual season. You have the free agent market, the trade market and the bevy of offseason awards. I'm not even going to try to predict those (well, Pujols & Mauer in MVP, Lincecum & Grienke in Cy Young).

It's very difficult to try and predict the trade market, several teams clearly have needs (Rays = closer, White Sox in left field, Yankees in rotation, Cubs with Milton Bradley, etc), but you can't say, "I think this guy will be traded here for this unknown minor leaguer" and maintain sanity, so I won't really try. Nor will I really try to project out the deals the major free agents will get (although I have, lol), and rest assured I'll chime in with ideas on major trades/signings and starting in about February, I'll make my division predictions.

Congrats to the Yankees, and good luck repeating next year, I already have thoughts on how the AL will break down ;-)
