At least Wright coming back is some "good news" as Pavano's done for the season, and Brown & Wang are still out. WTF is going on with these injuries!? Plus Johnson's missing his next start. I just don't think Chicago will go to the Series, they're all show. I think Anaheim, Oakland or Boston will represent the AL, NOT Chicago
If Yankee fans are at all optimistic about getting back into it with the likes of Jaret Wright, then these are very desperate times. I originally said Minnesota would be the wild card, but that was before the injury to Tori Hunter. Now I have no doubt that the wild card will come from the AL West.
I agree with you about Chicago - they're the 2005 version of the 2001 Mariners. Lots of wins in the regular season, but will choke in the playoffs. Plus, Chicago has feasted on poor teams this year and is barely .500 against teams w/winning records.
