Play Ball!

The boys of summer are now swinging away and those first pitches are still being thrown out at Major League baseball parks across the country this week. The first game of the season was on ESPN Sunday Night and everyone got to see the Atlanta Braves destroy the Philadelphia Phillies on a National Stage. The Philly baseball team may have been world champs last year, but this year is a new season and it looks like the Phillies season is over before it even starts.

Who will be the team representing the National League this year in the World Series? I think the Atlanta Braves would be a safe guess at this point in the season and they are looking like Major League Baseball’s best team right now. I know the New York Yankees spent a lot of money, but with all of that off-season spending, they still manage to lose their first game of the year to the Baltimore Orioles. Is it possible that Baltimore and Atlanta will meet up in the World Series this year? I think a Braves and Orioles World Series would be great in 2009.

Are you glad to see baseball back? Which team do you root for each evening after you get off of work? Some teams haven’t played a home game yet in their own ballpark, so home openers are still going on this week. Make sure you are keeping those fantasy baseball teams up-to-date and you get off to a good start in your fantasy baseball leagues. I’m glad we get to see baseball again and it’s fun having a sporting event to watch every night of the week; since baseball teams play just about every day in the Majors. Feel free to go ahead and make your World Series predictions for this year’s championship team in Major League Baseball. Play Ball!
