Shane Victorino: '(Phillies) the Favorites'

Filed under: Phillies, NL East

The ice storm gripping a good chunk of our country makes it hard to remember that we're getting really, really close to seeing actual baseball being played on grass fields bathed in sunshine.

Thanks are due to Shane Victorino, then, because the Phillies outfielder snapped us back into reality with some comments about the year to come. The Phillies outfielder was at an event in Philadelphia this week and shared his thoughts about who was the lead dog in the hunt for the 2011 title.

"I'm not one to sit here and make predictions or make bold statements to stir the pot," Victorino said, "but I think if you look on paper, we're the favorites to win it all."
