The Season
As you probably know I’m a huge baseball fan. There was a protected post I had a few weeks ago about a job in NYC blogging for Major League Baseball that I applied for and got a response that I had moved to the next step. Well I haven’t heard anything back and the season starts in two days. I’m starting to think that perhaps I’m not going to get the job. If I don’t hear anything by the World Series than I’m really going to start get concerned that they might have picked somebody else.
But, every year I do a post about the upcoming baseball season, mainly because this is my Xanga and I can post about what I want. Oh, and I like to look back at the end of the year to see how much of an idiot I was about the season. Last year though, I was not all that far off; I picked the New York Yankees to beat the San Francisco Giants in the World Series. While the Yanks didn’t even make it to the World Series, the Giants won the whole damn thing.
This year though, I’m going to go with the Boston Red Sox beating the Miami Heat of baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies. While Philly is not a very well rounded team right now, I do think they will make the necessary trades and moves that they so desperately need to win. Look, they have too good of a pitching staff not to be contenders and in it all year long. As for the Boston Yankees………….errr…….. I mean Red Sox, they are stacked.
What about my team the Cubs? Well, there is opening day, that is always exciting. And then fuck the rest of the season.
The team on the other side of town will be the team watch, in town at least, but I still think that the White Sox will fall short to the Minnesota Twins once again. The Twins are clearly the class of that division and I see no reason why they won’t win it again this year so that they can fail miserably in the post season, which has become an annual tradition in the twin cities.
So, be sure to check back at the end of the season so you can see just how fucking wrong I was about all of it!
