Go find your mattress money.
HOOK:
Almost opening day. Quick predictions and we can dive into these in more detail maybe over the weekend.
NL: Everyone and their mother likes the Cubs. And they should. They will be very, very good. I still think the 1-2 punch (and some hitter) of Max and Stephen will have something to say about that. The Dodgers might also as their depth is incredible, and the Pirates will be no slouches as they continue to defy odds with their pitching success. In the end, I am saying the Nationals get it done.
AL: Tougher league to call for sure. Lots of really, really good teams. Astros and Carlos Correa is going to be BIG time this year and will approach Trout-Harper-etc. level. The Rangers are dangerous and Royals are the Royals again. I still like the Blue Jays in the AL to FINALLY play up to potential and advance to the World Series. I think Tulo will also win MVP out this way.
Blue Jays over Nationals in 6 games.
LINE:
Rory McIlroy will not deal with the hassle of the Par-3 contest this year. Maybe having another girlfriend caddy for him isn’t his deal these days, or maybe him and One Direction are not boys anymore. Or, maybe he is just playing the numbers game. Since starting in 1960, not one winner of the Par-3 Contest went on to win The Masters.
SINKER:
If there was the NEXT person in the world who has plenty of money and needs a personal driver, it is Jon Jones. I am sure you were just revving your motor at a passing fan in New Mexico, Jon. But, combine your problems in the ring, your leaving the scene of a crash last year, and this incident, you need to be a passenger for a while. Enjoy your probation jail time.
THE RIVER:
I am not a big collector…of anything really. But, if I had a lot of cash under the mattress presently, I think that the 9/11 jersey worn by Mike Piazza that just went up for auction would be pretty freaking cool to own. Nation-wise, sports-wise, historical-wise.
That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
