I can't remember the last time I prayed for a snow day. Probably Thanksgiving break in seventh grade. But as I sit in the library, sucking down coffee and rewriting my midterm assignments, man oh man do I want a snow day.
But let's turn our minds (and hearts) to baseball. I'd like to make a couple predictions.
1. Yankees WILL win the AL East, and Tampa will win the wild card (yep, Bosawx get shut out.
2. A-Rod has a big season (.320-32-140) batting behind Damon-Cap'n Wunnerful-Teix. An ongoing saga erupts over whether he deserves the MVP (he'd be the first admitted steroid user in contention for a major season-end award). The AL MVP Award ends up going to Joe Mauer, who hits .320-8-85 and plays Gold Glove catcher for a slightly-above-average Twins team. America, exhausted by all this steroid garbage and embarrassed by the hypocrisy of having to overlook a superior "dirty" season and favor a "clean, calls a mulligan on the whole era. McGwire's vote tallies soar for the HoF and he reaches the 75% threshold in 2012. Pete Rose and Joe Jackson (shoeless) catch a tailwind and get elected together in 2015.
3. Joba balloons. The tabloids finally figure out who to compare him to: David Wells. He deals with gout for all of May, yet still goes 13-3 with a 3.25 ERA.
