The Cubs are now 3-10 Spurge. They look to be making a strong push for last place, but it's going to be tough with the Astros around.


Astros were just horrible last year, can they make it two in a row?

 

 

What do you think about the Nationals? Kind of  a surprise after 20-30 years of sucking!

Have they been building up a team these past few years or did it just come out of nowhere?

They have been building through the draft and trading for quality pitching.  The nats also decided to open their wallets with the Jason Werth deal.  It sent a message to the rest of baseball that "hey were willing to overpay for talent"  They ended the year strong last year at 80-81, we are still missing key pieces due to injury and Bryce Harper is still in AAA, but we pretty much has nothing but upside.
