They say celebrities always die in threes, such as my personal favorite celeb death trio: Jacques Cousteau, Jimmy Stewart, and Gianni Versace in June/July 1997.   And since Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes died within one day of each other, if you're an overweight, middle-aged black comedian, I'd make sure you are within an arms' reach of a defibrillator over the next few days.

Apparently, celebrities get overexposed in the media in threes as well.  Like George Costanza in velvet, I have ensconced myself in wall-to-wall coverage of Manny Ramirez, Brett Favre, and "Clark Rockefeller" over the past couple of weeks.

So, baseball is around the corner, as we all know.  We've got our fantasy baseball teams lined up and we're wearing our team colors to work, school, etc. (I'm not, but I know some die-hard baseball fans who will).

Just like at the beginning of every season, we all make predictions.  A-Rod will hit such-and-such amount of homers, Johan Santana will get __ wins in his new Flushing digs, Team X will finish with 80+ wins, etc.  There is one thing that I know for sure, though.  This year, the American League East will be a dogfight.

It's the halfway point of the major league season, and the elite teams are starting to separate themselves. Many clubs, such as the Brewers, Red Sox, and Angels, are already running away with their respective divisions. The Mets, Tigers, Indians, Padres, and Dodgers are facing greater competition in their divisions, though they all should make the playoffs. But which of these teams has the best shot at winning the World Series? It's a loaded question, but I gave my best shot at ranking them. Here are the eight teams that can win the World Series.

By Billy Fellin

    Dizzy is what happens when you spin around on a tire swing or a rotating chair too long. Dizzy can happen when a beautiful girl walks by and you turn your head so fast to catch another glimpse. That could also be filed under whiplash. Any one else think there should be a HANS-type device that could prevent this? Can we get a ruling on this? Ok. Moving on, dizzy also happens to be a very good song by the Goo Goo Dolls. Dizzy is also how Yankee fans are currently feeling after the three game sweep in Fenway this past weekend.

More on: New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals, Opening Day (all tags)

By Billy Fellin

After seven months of anticipation, more steroid talk, the drama out of the Bronx and the roulette game that is free agency, Opening Day has finally arrived. Opening Day is arguably one of the greatest days in a sports fanatic's life, such as mine. There's just something about Opening Day, the anticipation of it and the aura surrounding the first pitch, the first home run or the first win of the year.

As if Manny Ramirez wasn't unpredictable enough, now he's so unpredictable, we can't even predict his unpredictability.  What?
