Dose anyone think that the texas rangers have a good chance of winning a world series title this year?

I suppose someone thinks that, but not me.

They absolutely deserved to be in the World Series last year.  They peaked at the just the right time, and they had better pitching than anyone else in the NL....and as we know, pitching wins championships.  They had 3 very quality starters, and (at the time) the hottest closer, and that combination carried them.  Not to mention, Berkman and Ensberg were tearing it up as well.  The only other deserving team would have been St Louis, but they're pitching wasn't 1/5 of Houston's.

I think they do have a shot.  The AL West isn't that great this year.  If we can play the Angels tough all year, we might have a shot.  \nI like the M's line-up, but how bout giving Felix some run support, eh!  \nIf we are in it at the all-star break, I think they will need to go out and get a starter (like Zito) and a long middle reliever. \nGo M's!!!!!

I believe they will seeing as in the offseason they managed to pick up worthwhile veterans like Mike Piazza and Mike Cameron.  Mix that with the number of young standouts like Jake Peavy and Khalil Green and you have a winning combination.  That does not mean they will make the playoffs though.

Yes. Their pitching is superb, their hitting is excellent (Chris Shelton...) And their defense is good. Watch them at the end of the season as they make a run at the AL Central.

I hope it is.  It's been a long drought since 1984.  \n\nI guess I can't complain too much though.  Unlike many Cubs fans and - until recently Red Sox and White Sox fans - I CAN remember my favorite team winning the World Series.\n\nI think the Tigs will stay in contention.  They seem to be having some troubles with the Yankees, but they can't possibly continue the winning streak they were on for the whole year.  If they stay healthy and continue to play good baseball, I can see an interesting September - and, hopefully, October too.

It is true that they're the hottest team in baseball right now, and I like their chances of staying hot throughout the year.  They're pitching has been on fire recently, and some young prospects have emerged which is also a good sign.  Combine that with the timely hitting of David Ortiz and they should be able to make a World Series run.

Actually they have a pretty good team this year with sheets, turnbow, and c lee.  I can see them making a run at it this year but the cards are way to strong.  I bet in the next 2 to three years the be in it.

They will go as far as their pitching will take them. If everyone stays healthy, I would have to say they are a favorite, yet again. There's little doubt that they will make the playoffs, so the main question is, will the team be healthy when the postseason rolls around? I think they have a good shot.

While I hope the Toronto Blue Jays go on a great run and win the World Series, I think that a team like the St. Louis Cardinals (With a healthy Albert Pujols) has what it takes.  As well, the team the wins the AL East is a definite contender.

I think it is very likely and if they have some decent acquisitions in the off-season, I think they can improve their chances.

I do!  The team are in their prime at the mo and even though they've been criticised by not playing their best etc etc I think we have a good chance.  Come on boys!!

They have a chance.  They are in a terrible division, and they are an ok team.  Their pitching is good and their ballpark helps them.

Mets are #1 in MLB right now. They are the under-dogs this year like the Whitesox were the underdogs last year. I would say that they have a pretty good chance to get 100.

I hope so. I'm a die hard Redsox fan. But their line-up isn't as good as it was in 2004. They just have to work as a team and work hard and win. Thats all it takes right?

Im not seeing it this year.....But if they can do anything right \n\n2nd place in the division.

If the Giants come through this season with a record of say 11-5 or better I would think they would have to be a good contender for the title. They have the most difficult schedule in football which will leave the battle tested for the playoffs. So, to put it simple yes they are a good bet to win the Super Bowl.
