Opening Day MLB

The smell of freshly cut grass. The aroma of popcorn and hotdogs. The sound of a ball hitting a glove. The crack of a bat hitting a ball. The roar of the crowd...ohhhhh....you know it. Its the start of the baseball season.

The story lines I am looking forward to seeing this season is how Albert Pujols does in a Angels uni. I think he will still hit around 38 home runs. Prince Fielder still should be swinging the same in Detroit and could have an even better season than Pujols due to the fact the Tigers have more around Fielder protecting him as a hitter and forcing opposing pitchers to pitch to him. I want to see what Michael Pineda does in a Yankees uniform. He is a very young pitcher with a ton of potential. I do still though, question why the Mariners traded him off when they to do need pitching. And speaking of the Yankees, will Andy Pettite made the roster and how will he pitch?

Other headlines this time in the NL, the Washington Nationals. Will the young talent finally stick together and can the team make a run? Will Stephen Strasburg pitch top notch again? And when will Bryce Harper make his return to the Majors? Sticking in that division, the Miami Marlins. New name. New manager (who I still think was a weird selection for them but they wanted a people draw) and new faces. Will all of the money they spent pay off on the field and bring people in the stands?

Many questions will be answered and it all begins today.

As for my World Series predictions...well......you heard it here first!
