I have been a Twins fan since I was little, and watched them win two World Series when I was in High School. I think they end up about 85 wins and sneak in with second Wild Card.

Well, the same team that it's been for 49 years (45 that I can remember)...DODGERS!!! Hopefully, we can get over the hump and finish it off, this year. #ITFDB

I always keep my eye on the Boston Red Sox, 1SG Private RallyPoint Member! Right before my father entered the Navy during WWII, he played a half a season with the Roanoke Red Sox of the Piedmont League (B). Had he been called up (and the war, of course), he might well have played for Boston!
I lived in Cincinnati, so I also keep my eye on the Reds. I went to a number of opening day games there!

I have no idea as to how good either team will fare this season!

Here's a question for you. For many years, the first pitch was always given to Cincinnati as they're considered the oldest team in organized baseball. Whatever happened to that tradition?

Sox look pretty good again. The band is mostly back together.

No predictions. That would be like talking to a picture who is pitching a no hitter!!! It's just not done... you shun them so you won't affect their mojo!!!

I grew up in west central Illinois, an area equally split between Cardinals and Cubs fans!! I was a Cardinals fan then and always!! GO CARDINALS!

Yankees, Marlins, Cardinals in that order. If you don't have more than one team to follow the season often ends too soon. Also it's good to follow particular players; Ichiro, Trout, Judge, Harper and Scherzer.

I'm starting to think my Wild Card estimate might have shorted my team. The Twins are tearing it up so far!
