Once again, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox reloaded their rosters to prepare for another long battle in the American League East.

National League Picks and Predictions

Expect the balance of power in the National League to shift in a big way in 2004.

Meanwhile, the Houston Astros will be a force in 2004 after adding Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens to their pitching staff.

World Series

You heard it here first! The Chicago Cubs Curse will be broken! Forget about the stupid Billy Goat and that butter fingered, four-eyed freak, Steve Bartman. Kidzworld is predicting that the Chicago Cubs will win their first World Series since 1908 with a 4-2 series victory over the New York Yankees. Mark Prior will be named the World Series MVP.

What's In? What's Out?

Tokyo and testing are in, while THG and tattoos are out. The 2004 season will start on March 30th in Tokyo, Japan with the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays playing a three-game series. Baseball will also try to bring in tougher testing and penalties for steroid use and has banned the newly discovered muscle-building supplement, THG. Besides cracking down on steroids, Major League Baseball is also getting tough on tattoos. MLB told Toronto Blue Jays' pitcher, Justin Miller, he must wear a long sleeve shirt when he pitches because the tattoos on his arm are a distraction to hitters. More than half of Miller's body is covered with tattoos.
