Sports Recap: Crystal Baseball

It's opening day weekend in baseball. Let me help you relate how I feel. Shoppers, like if Coach had a "Buy 1 Bag, Get 5 Free" sale. Fatties, imagine McDonalds had an "All You Can Eat" buffet. Television viewers, this as though writers went on strike for a couple of months and finally came back to provide you with your TV show addiction. (Wa wa wa....)

In honor of my favorite weekend of the year I've decided to look into the future to predict the results of the upcoming season. My proudest predictions so far have been Golden State beating Dallas in the first round last year, A-Rod resigning with the Yanks, and the Visa IPO flop. That being said my NCAA bracket is a mess. (DAMN YOU G'TOWN!)
