The predictions are interesting, as I seem to remember thinking before last season that the Boys didn't have a great deal of depth and they probably had a fairly narrow window of opportunity. I like the fact that three of the top pitchers are on the squad, which has always had solid bats and there now seems to be one or two players - e.g. Murtagh, Swift - who lead me to think the window of opportunity may have opened a bit wider. I just hope being named favourites to win the SSS doesn't put a target on their backs but, as I believe someone famous said, back in the 20th century, "if you can't stand the heat, don't sit on the barbecue!"

PAM definitely likes the Party Boys better this season. Last season, she did not predict the Party Boys to take the Brotherhood League. Of course, she was way off with Easy Town dropping off a cliff in 2299. She is seeing something I saw when I ran test leagues, that the Party Boys always seemed to be in the mix. There was one surprise team that would always come up and make noise, but that team always seemed to come from the SCA.
They have been a playoff team nearly every season now. At some point, they have to show they can turn the corner and take it all. The team is now a veteran team of playoff contenders, so the barbecue is on!
