October Is Right Around the Corner: Who Will Be the World Series Winner in 2011?
March 31st is a special time of year. At least for some fans, anyway.
Fenway Park is optimistic, hot-headed and unbelievably confident. San Francisco looks to defy odds-makers, repeat their World Series win, and halt the Philadelphia Phillies. While the Cubs are the Cubs, you may need a weather balloon and a stern cup of coffee to predict our unlucky Chicago friends.
Yep, it’s Opening Day. Not much has changed. I’ll produce my World Series pick, it will probably look foolish in six months time, and you can revert back to this article and poke fun while having a good chuckle with your friends.
It’s all in good spirits, right?
Of course. It’s baseball. It’s as unpredictable as Global Warming.
So you think the Red Sox will take home the pennant? The Yankees? The Blue Jays?!
Sure, they are all strong picks. No doubt. But like so many Opening Days in the past, we really know nothing until the season kicks off.
Here’s a prediction. Don’t mark it down as wrong just yet. All of these teams will stand in front of a white line tomorrow, watch an over-sized flag engulf the field, and probably witness a few horrendous opening pitches by guest celebrities.
It’s baseball. It’s back.
Ready, set, go.
