It's Opening Day for Major League Baseball with 6 games on the schedule. Now is the time to get on the record with my team and awards picks for the season. Side note, did you notice that ESPN had their "experts" make predictions this year for playoff teams, World Series winner, MVPs, CY Youngs, and ROY... they had 45 people make picks. They have 45 baseball experts? I thought they had Tim Kurkjian. Well 33 out of 45 said the Sox would win the World Series, so you got to figure they have no chance. Here are our official picks for 2011...
