Prediction 2

Let's cut this short, as I have mosquito eradication duties to perform. The 2010 baseball season is almost certainly going to closely resemble the 2009 season. In the American League East, the likeness will be uncanny.

The Red Sox, who were a very good team that won a lot of games last season, will do the same this year. Ditto for the Yankees. As to which will win a few more games, who knows? By Labor Day we may not know.

Which is to say, it's a long season. Therefore, despite the ritual importance of Opening Day/Night to baseball fans, no follower of the Red Sox should feel the least bit guilty about turning off tomorrow night's game and going to bed in time to get some sleep before going back to work. You won't miss a thing.
