There are two seasons: winter and baseball. Or as the old saying goes. It is that time of year again folks. To put away the jackets, and break out the baseball caps. To put away the winter boots, and BBQ while watching a ball-game on a Sunday afternoon. To have the wind blowing in your hair while listening to Vin Scully call a game. Seriously love this time of year. The season starts on Sunday when the Los Angeles Dodgers play against the San Diego Padres. After that it is solid baseball until September 28th when the regular season ends. These predictions include division winners, award winners, and playoff predictions.
