Ah It’s Baseball Season-Beers And BBQ’s

This aint' your everyday MLB Preview!

DunDunDun Dun Dun (ESPN’s Baseball Tonight Song) It is Opening Day in the MLB everyone, the day where every team starts 0-0 and in first place, the day when even Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Mets fans have hope.

Now I’m not going to sit here and talk sabermetrics with you, nor am I going to say the Philadelphia Phillies will win the World Series if….NO, that’s lame, that’s what ESPN is for. (If you really want to see some real, nerdy ish, Check out SI.com’s preview) What I will do for you is give you my predictions and opinions on what I think will go down this season, whether I’m serious about a certain topic or if I’m just bustin’ your balls, that’s up for you to decide.

There is one thing I’ll be serious about: My Division, Wild-Card, and eventual World Series Winner. After that, who knows?
