The 2018 Major League Baseball is upon – like REALLY upon us given that the season will start this Thursday.  From my beloved New York Yankees being the modern-day Murderer’s Row to the loaded National League, this is shaping out to be an exciting year in baseball.

Like my previews of recent past, my MLB preview will be brief – yet a bit entertaining (“infotaining”, if you will).

Some of y’all may agree, most of y’all will probably disagree.  Either way, you are gonna talk about me.  And last I checked, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

So, without further ado, let’s go…
