MLB 2014 Predictions

courtesy wallpaperswide.com


The season has begun and already my Chicago Cubs are in last place.  A walk off homer to open things up against the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Ouch!

I know, I know, wait till next year. 

That phrase will be used by plenty of Cubs fans everywhere this year.  The rest of the league, as I see it, will go as follows.

I am shaking my Magic 8 Ball and let the prognostications begin!
