Baseball Season is Back!!!

By Matthew Iwanyk

On Easter Sunday the 2010 MLB season kicked started with a classic rivalry of the Yanks and the Soxs (said in Boston accent).

What a start with a thrilling 9-7 Red Sox win, after trailing 5-1 in the fifth inning. Also, on only the second game we may have already seen the play of the year by White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle. Hopefully these will be a sign of things to come for the quality of baseball this season.

Going into the season there are loads of story lines to follow, which should make the season an exciting one. Some story lines include:

• Roy Halladay on a winning team for once
• Can the Yankees repeat?
• Will one of the two Seattle pitchers win the AL Cy Young Award?
• Can the Phillies overcome the Yankees?
• Will the Mets make a comeback?
• Will there be a 2008 Tampa Bay Ray-like team?
• Will the Jays young pitchers stay healthy?

It should be a fun season, with 30 teams fighting for the eight playoff spots and the trip to the show in November. For those who don’t want to watch a 162 game, six month season, tune into the season after the All-Star game, mid-July, and see all the playoff races.

Here are my MLB 2010 Predicitons (post yours in comments):

• AL Champion: Yankees
• NL Champion: Phillies
• World Series Champion: Yankees
• AL Cy Young: Felix Hernandez
• NL Cy Young: Roy Halladay
• AL MVP: Derek Jeter
• NL MVP: Albert Pujols
• Best Canadian: Justin Morneau
