Happy Opening Day (0-8 mins) Brewers-Padres this afternoon with Chase Anderson vs. Clayton Richard. Brewers struggled last year versus lefties, we'll see if that trend arises again. Padres bring in Eric Hosmer. Added Chase Headley and Freddie Glavis. Jose Pirela and Manuel Margot are both studs People are generally excited in MKE for this team & the season. Think the expectation is playoffs but should realize it's going to be a tough hill to climb for this team. Baseball is never easy. MLB Predictions (9-12 mins): Divisions finish: Nationals-Cubs-Dodgers. Wild Cards: Brewers-Mets . Biggest surprise: Atlanta Braves. Biggest disappointment: Arizona. Bold prediction: Mike Matheny gets fired midseason. NL MVP: Bryce Harper. Cy Young: Noah Syndergaard. Divisions finish: New York-Cleveland-Houston. Wild cards: Boston-Minnesota. Biggest surprise: Chicago White Sox Biggest disappointment: Los Angeles Angels. Bold Prediction: Ohtani really scuffles this year.
Big East isn't a little brother (12-15) Russell Steinberg wrote a piece that Chris Mack leaving for Louisville was a little brother situation for the Big East. Totally disagree. Big East makes just as money as other places in college hoops. Louisville happens to be a top 10 job. Even if they get probation, it's a top job and close to where he already lives. Foolish stuff.
