Once again my hopes of a Ranger turnaround were yanked down to reality by the opening day happenings.

BRAVES take the Twins for the hardware.
In my dreams it would be . . .
NL-Central - Cards ('07 WS champs)
NL - West - Dodgers
NL - East - Braves
NL- Wild Card - Astros
AL - Central - Twins
AL - West - Rangers
AL - East - Orioles (anyone but NY or Boston will do)
AL - Wildcard - Angels
Sadly, in real life I think it will be more like . . .
Cards, Mets, Diamondbacks, and WC to Reds.
Yankees, Tigers, Angels, and WC to White Sox.
I didn't make any predictions, but I'm glad to see the Rockies win today. The faster they win the more players they will loose to free agency and make room for minor league players like Rike. OK, I'm rushing things!
