By: Robb Buzzini As I sit here during the Opening week of the 2016 Major League baseball season I realize that baseball means to me that there is always a tomorrow. There is always another pitch, another at bat, another chance in the field, another start, a new beginning, always a chance at redemption. I…
By: Mike Carter I was asked to make nine bold predictions for the upcoming 2016 season. I’ve thought long and hard and hope to have you scratching your head or turning your eyes going, “what is this guy thinking? The Chicago winter rotted his brain!” So here goes nothing: 1.) The Cubs will not…

AL WILD CARD My predictions at the beginning of the year I had the Oakland A’s making it to the ALCS but they had a huge melt down and barely backed into the 2nd Wild Card spot. After saying that, I think Oakland beats the Royals and only because they have Jon Lester starting. I’m…
