Some dark horses, for Beta, who's delusional about the NFL's salary cap:
-for Cy Young: Watch out for KRIS BENSON - he'll be sick as hell
-the Cubs might be nasty this season - assuming they play the young guys . . . either way, they're no longer the cubbies anymore, they're for real (and for a while)
-the Mets are going to suck (again) - Floyd's exceptionally overrated, and Glavine is only good for about 12 wins anymore. Don't expect Astacio to see the end of the season
-The BoSox will be unreal . . . and will still finish 3 games behind the yankees, who will have 102 wins (sox 99, next closest 95)
-Atlanta is on the way down, too - if they average 4 runs a game, i'll crap myself . . . the Giants probably can't do what they did last year, either
