Baseball season has started and it’s time for the totally clueless fan to say how great his team is. Just about every team has a shot to win 100 games and win the World Series. But baseball is so hard to pick because there are so many games and you can tell when a team just “phones it in” and doesn’t play hard. They just played an extra inning game the night before a Sunday afternoon game, and they don’t care. But they did that in the old days too, and the players I grew up watching, never phoned it in. I believe the biggest change in the game today is the money that the players make. Why play hard when you get paid an obscene amount of money? The players of yesteryear played hard to get to the playoffs because of the extra money they could make. Nowadays, that’s pocket change for them. Having said that, here’s my fearless for sure prediction for the World Series. It’s going to be the Detroit Tigers versus the Chicago Cubs.

I haven’t done anything with this yet because I haven’t really taken the time to think about it. I’ll get to it soon I hope.
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
