    Base-a-Ball in less than 3 Weeks.

    Yep, games not some guys doing push-ups.

    Any predictions on the World Series? Be interesting to look back from October-November...

    Yes. The Padres will not be participating.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Neither will the NY Mess. But the Yanks are always in the hunt and you know it from day 1.

    A's. It's all about the A's.

    Want to see a Bay Bridge Series again minus the earthquake.

    The A's versus Los Gigantes would COOL.

    Spring training games start February 21st for some teams, all teams by February 23rd. (Early start due to this being a World Baseball Classic year)

    ESPN is predicting that the Houston Astros will be eliminated from playoff contention on February 25th.

    In other words, the day after the Padres are eliminated.

    Based on their performance the last two years, the Pirates will be leading the NL Central by 15 games on July 30th.
    On July 31st, alarmed at this development and afraid of the consequences (to their budget), several subtle but ultimately bonehead trades will take place.
    By September 1st, they will be out of contention, and by September 10th, they will clinch their 21st consecutive losing season.

    However, by August 15th, advance ticket sales from the suckers loyal fan base will guarantee the ownership record profits for the year, most of which will be reported in the media as being ear marked for minor league player development, and most of which will actually (thanks to clever bookkeeping) end up in the pockets of the Nutting family (who now own ~80% of the team).

    And, on or about September 20th, the Washington Nationals will clinch the NL East, led by newly acquired center fielder Andrew McCutchen. The next day, President Taft will will his first President's Race at Nationals Park.
