I’m gonna have to revise my baseball predictions based on opening-day action. The Astros are pretenders and they’re not going anywhere. They have a nice baseball park and some shiny new pitchers from the Yankees cast-off collection, but it’s hard to play ball with all those wheelchairs parked all over the field and Jeff Kent’s attitude stinking the place up.
The Angels are pretty darned impressive. I never knew that George Steinbrenner had a twin brother, but he does and he now owns the Angels. They could very well win the division, but if they do the A’s will take the wildcard spot and beat them in the playoffs. The A’s have taken to folding under post-season pressure the past few years, and going in as a wildcard will help to reduce it.
The Mariners play like a not-very-talented minor league team, and thanks to them the Rangers will finally climb out of the cellar.
That’s all for now.
I think that’s the kindest thing I’ve read all year about my stRangers.
In their first encounter with the Anaheim Jr. Yankess, the Rangers were damned strong, beating the overpaid Angelenos like red-headed stepchildren. I’m now picking the Rangers to finish second, behind the A’s and ahead of the Anaheims.
The season is one hundred and sixty-two games long.
But I’m just saying that cause I’m last in my fantasy league.
