Other Notes:

The AL West looks tough. It might just grab both AL Wild Card berths!

The NL North might do the same in the NL. Chicago and the two Canadian teams look like real challengers.

Oakland is HBD franchise #6000, and I expect big things out of them!

I'm glad San Diego isn't named the Mayans, or their division title would end our world.

My favorite team names: Florida Sizzlers (duh), Cleveland Inferno, Oklahoma City Kingfishers, San Diego Aztecs. Also, the Inferno/Blizzard name rivalry in the NL East is amazing.

Let's play ball!

MLB has suffered financially from the loss of interest in sports as doomsday rapidly approaches.
