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 was just past 11:10 PM EST last night when I was watching Sportscenter, resting after four days and five games of hell (I am a Yankees fan, but those four days were still hell regardless). Given the opportunity, I was tempted not to even stay up for the eleven o'clock Sportscenter, but just listening to Tony Kornheiser was enough to keep me awake longer than expected. And it's a good thing I did because I have a message I'd like to send to Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Gibbons: I love you big man.
