    Fact / Fiction : MLB Style

    rules are simple, i'll start a question, and the next person to post replys with either fact or fiction WITH evidence to support your truth. i mean if i were to say yankees to win world series? and joek replyed FACT! then that'd be bullshit, he'd have to say FACT WIN METHOD! or something to that sort. it doesn't have to be a paragraph just a reasoning behind your conclusion.

    once the fact/fiction has been answered it is done, go to the next one.

    Fact/Fiction:
    Utley breaking the hit streak record.

    Fiction. Media on his ass, playing adequate competition, not to mention he's what, about halfway? I don't seriously consider anyone until they are within 15 games. He's still got so far to go, and he needs so much luck...don't see it happening.

    Fact

    As much as I hate to say it, the Red Sawks have lost their captain for a few weeks and the Yanks lineup is going to be absolute murder. They'll have to win their division to get in because the WC is coming out of the Central.

    Fact or Fiction:

    The Twins edge the Chisox for the WC

    Fact. They have outstanding pitching, their bats are coming around, and they have way less pressure on them.

    Fact or Fiction: Designating Bubba Crosby for Assignment will come back to haunt the Yankees?

    Fiction: Lidle will have a good start then flame out like usual and either the Red Hot Twins or White Sox will win the WC.

    Fact or Fiction

    The M's are a very good team vs everyone but the F***in A's

    Fact. The frigging A's have the 'deed of ownership' to the Mariners this year. I don't know if I've ever seen one division rival own another like that.

    Fact or Fiction:

    With Bronson Arroyo streaking back to Earth, the Cincinnati Reds will watch the playoffs.

    Fact.

    The Reds have been taking hits as of late, but I do think the ship will remain afloat come October. Outside of 7 games versus St Louis and 3 at San Diego, they face Pittsburgh, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia, San Francisco, LA, and a very inconsistent Houston team.

    Fact or fiction: The Pads will win the NL West

    (I might be biased but...)

    Fact

    He's not Liriano or Santana pitching for a third place team. He's a rookie who's dominating when he pitches and more often than not he's coming in when we've had some below average performances from the guys before him in the rotation.

    He has more wins than Liriano & unlike Liriano he knows what CG stands for. In addition, unlike everyones favorite part time starter (Liriano) Verlander didn't come out of the bully to keep the ERA a bit lower. Could you imagine how hard Verlander could bring it for one inning? Lastly, he has more wins and a lower ERA than Santana.

    He's the man for the AL Cy Young. Did I mention that he's not pitching for a third place team?

    Fact or Fiction:

    The NL will be outclassed in the WS

    Fiction. Their pitching will falter, and this year the Cardinals will actually produce down the stretch and win the NL.

    Fact or Fiction: Joe Mauer deserves the AL MVP if the Red Sox miss the playoffs and the Twins win the WC.

    Fiction. Has Mauer knocked in 5 walk-off homers this year alone? Ortiz is the frontrunner.

    Fact or fiction: The Astros make it in as a wild card.
