Today is baseball's Opening Day, and the Braves are opening the season in the Nationals new stadium. I was hoping I would get to see it since the game is on ESPN, and we do, in fact, get two different ESPN channels. But when I turned to see if it was on, one channel was showing tennis and the other rugby. Rugby? I can understand soccer, but rugby isn't much of a South American sport. I've seen NBA games, so I'm sure I'll see a few baseball games, but apparently not tonight.
However, I am very pleased that today I have seen not one but two analysts (Ken Rosenthal for FOX and Jayson Stark for ESPN) choose the Braves to win the World Series. I know pre-season predictions don't mean anything, and Jayson Stark did say Andruw Jones was the most overrated centerfielder of all time, but I'll take it. (Something like 10 out of 14 analysts on espn.com picked Johan Santana to win the NL Cy Young. Boy, that's going out on a limb there.) And as long as Sports Illustrated doesn't pick them to win, I'll be happy. Bad things happen to those who grace the cover of that magazine. (Although I wouldn't know who SI picked since no one has sent me a copy of the preview issue. Big FAT hint right there.)
And you know what? The Braves will win the World Series. You know why? Because I won't be there to see it.
