I Predict . . .
March 31, 2008
It’s that wonderful time of year again, that personal national holiday of mine — opening day for my baseball team, the Chicago White Sox.
This year it feels a lot different. First of all, where’s spring? Second, we don’t live in Chi-town anymore. So I’ve heard almost zero about how good — or bad — my team is supposed to be. But we’ll have the DVR going tomorrow to tape the game. That’ll be a whole family thing in our house tonight.
Yesterday I caught Baseball Tonight on TV. That’s like the first robin for me, that night you happen to catch them doing one of their first shows, and you know winter’s almost over. Anyway, I soaked up the guys’ takes on who would win the divisions, and the baseball superfan in me just can’t resist giving you my predictions for the season.
Just remember you heard it here first.
AL — Red Sox, Indians, Angels; Wildcard — Tigers
NL — Mets, Scrubs (our pet name for the Cubs; my dad, who’s actually a Cubs fan, came up with that one), Diamondbacks; Wildcard — Braves
So there it is. May the White Sox prove me wrong.

Thanks for at least mentioning the Braves! LOL. I’m hoping for better things this year for my mother’s sake. She’s 88 and lives for the Braves! So she’s excited right about now, too.
I’m wearing my St Louis Cardinals Jersey today in honor of Opening Day !!
Oh I wish that I could say your predictions are wrong. We’ll be watching an almost all new line-up for the Redbirds this season and getting to know new players. Who knows, they could surprise us all.
Let’s not yet forget that the Final Four isn’t finsihed…………
I predict……MEMPHIS!!
I watched opening day at Wrigley. Brrrr! Cold rain. The new field looks great, but the ivy is all still dormant.
Gooooo Cubbies!
And a shout out to the Twinkies. They may surprise some folks this year.
The Braves should surprise some people. But I have to think the Yankees will make the playoffs.
I think the Indians are overrated. CC had a career year last year.
Um, can I take back my American League Wild Card pick? Ugh.
I’m skimming through old posts and stopped to read this one. Man, did I get it wrong!
But my White Sox did make me a little happy!
