December 22, 200322 yr okay, I'm going to be honest, so please don't kill me...remember, you guys have benitez now! 1. Braves (why? Somehow, who saw them taking it last year after getting rid of millwood?) 2. Phillies (a lot of pitching and hitting can come back...bowa is the problem) 3. Marlins (pitching will do well, but there will be a lack of offense...middle relief/closer will be a problem) 4. Mets (pitchers coming off off years, bats should come around, good prospects, vastly improved defense in a pitchers park) 5. Expos (without Vaz and Vlad, what the hell are they? Vidro can only do so much, but he's probably going to have a monster season before he hits the market) Hard to see the Braves that high unless they sign Vlad and a few others. They'll be hardy though---like a snake whose head is cut off not realiing it's dead for a few months. They've lost a lot more than a 3rd starter this year. Your other predictions are good
December 22, 200322 yr Josh21becketts 2004 goal: Marlins make playoffs. All you have to do is make the playoffs... It dosen't matter how you make the playoffs...wild card...winning the division Because onc your in the playoffs everyone has an equal chance to win the WS...
December 22, 200322 yr I say: 1.Braves- 96-66 2.Marlins- 92-70 3.Phillies- 90-71 4.Mets- 70-92 5. Expos- god only knows- they're awful, i'd say 65-97
December 22, 200322 yr 1. Expos 2. Marlins (wc) 3. Braves 4. Phillies (Thome, Wagner, Worrel, Abreu get season ending injurys) 5. Mets
December 22, 200322 yr 1. Expos 2. Marlins (wc) 3. Braves 4. Phillies (Thome, Wagner, Worrel, Abreu get season ending injurys) 5. Mets Expos on top?!? :blink: If that happens, the world is definietely coming to and end.... :o

December 22, 200322 yr okay, I'm going to be honest, so please don't kill me...remember, you guys have benitez now! Remember, we have Benitez now? That should make us better. No matter what you think, the guy is an upgrade over Fruit Loops and triple U. In the best hitters park in the game, behind the best defensive team in the NL (yes, we still are), and with virtually no media pressure, benitez will THRIVE into one of the top 5 closers like he was just one year ago. 1) Gagne 2) Smoltz 3) Rivera 4) Wagner 5) Benitez

Thats 4 of the 5 in the national laeague right there. :mischief2
December 22, 200322 yr I wonder if the National League is just stronger in closers. Thats 4 of the 5 in the national laeague right there. :mischief2 The AL has some great guys in Rivera and Foulke, but the NL is where it's at for closers.

December 22, 200322 yr In the best hitters park in the game We Play in the best Hitters park in the Game? :shifty
December 22, 200322 yr It doesn't matter what park benitez is in. His statistics are awesome. He just blows the game every time it REALLY counts. Believe me, you will be ripping your hair out soon enough like half the mets fans in queens and yankee fans begging to get his a** out of NY.
December 22, 200322 yr 1) Gagne 2) Smoltz 3) Rivera 4) Wagner 5) Benitez no no no its more like Gagne, Smoltz, Wagner Rivera, Foulke(arguably) Benitez and everyone else after
December 22, 200322 yr Believe me, you will be ripping your hair out soon enough like half the mets fans in queens and yankee fans begging to get his a** out of NY. Exactly! 1/2 the Mets and Yankee fans is more than the population of SoFla. No pressure here. Come to the park, pitch, go home. Simple. No media, no sellouts, no bulls***. He'll be fine here.

December 22, 200322 yr In the best hitters park in the game We Play in the best Hitters park in the Game? :shifty You know what I meant. It doesn't matter what park benitez is in. What? The stadium you pitch in matters for every pitcher in the game, more so than almost anything else, actually. Benitez will be in the best pitchers park there is, and that always helps. no no no its more like Gagne, Smoltz, Wagner Rivera, Foulke(arguably) Benitez and everyone else after After the season Foulke had, I'll give you that. But Benitez is going to retain that 5th slot by the end of 2004. :shifty
December 22, 200322 yr I think F4WC made the claim that all the good closers are in the NL. Dude, 60% of that top 5 list in the NL East!
December 22, 200322 yr I think F4WC made the claim that all the good closers are in the NL. Dude, 60% of that top 5 list in the NL East! If Uggie signs with the Mets, four of the top ten closers in MLB will be in the NL East. That's crazy.
