Huskies Fall In Regular Season Finale To USF

The leading bracketologists out there said after the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team lost to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish that the Huskies were still in the field of 65.

SOX & Dawgs 2010 MLB preview – Postseason Predictions

I hope you enjoyed the gigantic SOX & Dawgs 2010 MLB preview.  Over the last week we gave you a team by team look at its key players, new faces, their potential MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year candidates, their possible starting lineup and rotation as well as a quick summary.

This preview was sculpted over a nearly seven week period in January and February with some mild tweaking as we went along prior to publication.  It comes from a culmination of reading so many baseball magazines, periodicals, articles and websites that in some cases I may know a team better that its own management.

After previewing all six divisions today is the day we look at the big winners and managers who could be in trouble in 2010.  You can check out all the division previews by following the links.

Sunday: NL West

Monday: AL West

Tuesday: NL Central

Wednesday: AL Central

Thursday: NL East

Friday: AL East
