New York Mets Jerseys, MLB\'s National League has been flying under the radar the past several years. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have captured the headlines, but several teams in the N.L. look to change all that in 2008...
Although there are several good teams in the National League, none jump out and scream World Series Champion. The N.L. has been a bit flat the past few years, with no team in the League having over 90 wins in 2007. This while the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, New York Mets Jerseys Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels all had at least 94 wins in the American League.
The N.L. West sports three really good teams, in the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. Separated by only one game between them last year, it should be another close one. None of the three make me stand and shout, but go with the San Diego Padres with 91 wins to squeak through the division. Tap the Colorado Rockies to win the Wildcard with 90 victories.
The N.L. Central was putrid last year, with the Chicago Cubs taking the division with 85 wins. They almost collapsed in September, and did not win a game in the playoffs. Look for the Milwaukee Brewers, young but gaining experience, to make a charge. There is no hope for the Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals. Look for the Brewers to push, but the Chicago Cubs should have enough to hold them off for one more year, with 87 wins.
The N.L. East, home of the New York Mets Jerseys teams with no playoff wins last year. The New York Mets faded into oblivion with a crash for the ages, but their nemesis, the Philadelphia Phillies, parlayed their division win into nothing come post-season. Against better judgment, you would think this should be the New York Mets\' year. Take the Mets to win the division with 90 victories.
