I am excited for this coming 2016 Major League Baseball season. And I am so excited, I’m going to share with you all a VERY abbreviated preview. So I figured I’ll skip all the fluff and share with you all “the bottom lines”, if you will (there are plenty sites, i.e. ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, and FOX Sports that could handle that for y’all).
Let’s go…

My prediction: This will be the year we can finally put the Giants ‘even year’ syndrome to bed. I’m a Mets fan but something tells me this will be the year of the Cubbies.
