SFist Baseball Preview

crystal%20ball.jpgWe've looked at the A's and the Giants this season, now let's take a look a look at what other people are saying about our hometown teams. And coming tomorrow, we'll have a very special baseball preview from our newest baseball contributor, Leon Trotsky.

A quick lookthrough of the predictions has the A's losing out to the Angels in their annual season-long dogfight as Sports Illustrated even has the Halos winning the whole thing. As for the Giants, well, that's another story. The big question around them is whether or not they're the worst team in the division. Traditionally, both teams have always been underestimated and it's a long, long season, so what we're saying is don't necessarily believe what you read.
