Okay, finally -- and remember, this isn't "who are you rooting for?" but rather -- who will win the AL East in 2007?
| Baltimore |  0 (0.00%) |
| Boston | 42 (25.77%) |
| New York | 68 (41.72%) |
| Tampa Bay | 2 (1.23%) |
| Toronto | 51 (31.29%) |

I think that the Yankees will, but that it will be close. 6 games separating first from third, and meaningful games after September 15.
The over/under on "votes Tampa will receive in this poll" is +/- 0.5 ...
I'll take the "under."
I voted for Boston because their rotation is very good, their lineup is solid and their bullpen is deep. I think New York's starting pitching is going to collapse, and if one of the Jays' youngsters with some real upside can break-out and take over that 3rd starter role early on, the Jays will sneak in after the Sox and grab the wildcard. But since good pitching beats good hitting, I just don't think the Jays or Yankees have a starting rotation strong enough to swing it with the Sox. The Yankee's reign is about to come to an end.
