So even thought I've been holding it off for so long I finally found the right time to do it so let's start out with the twisted N.L East. So i'm gonna break this down from the best team to the worst teams. 1.Phillies This is a really good team with a awesome offense and a pretty good defense.They have probaly the best infield in the league with Howard on 1st,Utley on 2nd, Rollins at short, and either Wes Helms or Gregg Dobbs at 3rd.
