To wit, I recently filled out an NCAA Tournament bracket as part of a friend's work pool. Out of 12 entries, I am dead last. I think someone's dog beat me.
And while my 2012 Baseball Predictions didn't turn out to be a complete disaster--I correctly called 4 of the 8 playoff teams, plus the AL MVP and Cy Young Winners (as well as Andrew McCutcheon who came in 3rd in NL MVP voting)--I did pick the Philadelphia Phillies to win the World Series over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Neither made the playoffs.
So although I love baseball, I am in no way an expert and don't follow day-to-day action nearly as closely as several of my friends.
But that--and the fact the 2013 season actually started last night, with the now-in-the-American-League Houston Astros beating the Texas Rangers--won't stop me from posting...
