Sure, there's still relevant college basketball to be played, but by the time that's over, there will have been meaningful baseball games played as well. I picked the final four correctly for the first time ever, so I'll try my hand at this year's baseball season:

AL

New York, 95-67
Boston, 94-68
Toronto, 87-75
Baltimore, 74-88
Tampa Bay, 71-91

Cleveland, 96-66
Detroit, 90-72
Minnesota, 88-74
Chicago, 85-77
Kansas City, 58-104

LA of Anaheim, 85-77
Oakland of Fremont, 82-80
Texas, 72-90
Seattle, 68-94

NL

New York, 94-68
Philadelphia, 88-74
Atlanta, 84-78
Florida, 73-89
Washington, 51-111

St. Louis, 84-78
Milwaukee, 83-79
Houston, 81-81
Chicago, 79-83
Cincinnati, 78-84
Pittsburgh, 75-87

Los Angeles, 91-71
San Diego, 85-77
Arizona, 84-78
Colorado, 80-82
San Francisco, 75-87

Boston 3, Cleveland 2
LA of Anaheim 3, New York (evil) 2

New York (NL) 3, St. Louis 2
Los Angeles (NL) 3, Philadelphia 2

Boston 4, LA of Anaheim 2
Los Angeles (NL) 4, New York (NL) 3

Boston 4, Los Angeles (NL) 0

AL MVP- Travis Hafner (.307, 40 HR, 138 RBI)
AL CY- Johan Santana (21-4, 2.26 ERA, 220 K)

NL MVP- Albert Pujols (.342, 47 HR, 146 RBI)
NL CY- Roy Oswalt (17-8, 3.16 ERA, 228 K)

You may notice that my MVP and Cy Young picks are all the same guys I picked last year- one (Santana) successfully, and one (Pujols) correctly, but somehow not successfully. However, I've never picked the Red Sox to win the World Series before this year. I liked this pick more with Papelbon in the starting rotation, but I still don't see anyone beating them in a playoff series.

Let the dingers begin.
