Baseball Preview 2005: Anyone's Guess Division Previews, including Hot Players:
By
Sean Holihan In a few days all of our favorite players will take the field in their home parks to start off a very different new year. This year will be a season of change. No longer will there be whispers and rumors about steroid use. Instead, the whispers and rumors will be about who was on steroids. What’s going to happen when Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aaron’s record of 755 career home runs? To asterisk or not to asterisk? That’s something we’ll let Bud Selig sweat over. As for me? I couldn’t care less. The way I see it, anyone in MLB could have been using. That’s including the pitchers who served up way too many high and tight ones that ended up in McCovey Cove. One thing that Boston won’t be sad to see go is the shouts of the Yankee devotees, chanting the popular tune, “1918!” I guess they’ll pick up something new like, “26-5!” (as in World Series titles for each team).They’re so good with numbers aren’t they? The BoSox do, in fact, have a lot of catching up to do. But for right now, I think they’ll be content as the reigning World Series Champions. And, oh yes, the Expos have been kidnapped from Canada. If anyone has seen them, please let Montreal know. They might be worried sick. |
