This should need no introduction at this point, but as always, here is the preface. My predictions for the 2014 Major League Baseball season are as follows. The preview goes division by division. The top team in each division is the team I expect to win the division, followed by second place, so on and so forth. Attached at the bottom are my playoff and award picks.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Can the Rays build around young Wil Myers?
Still, after the Price trade, they’ll be the cryers.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
World Champs after bottom of the barrel,
I’ll still be Scrooge to their Christmas Farrell
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Chris Davis can rake. Adam Jones can churn.
Put them together, then you have Auburn.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The Cap’s last hurrah will bring on my tears
What can I say? Thanks for 19 great years!
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The Blue Jays in last, so on and so forth
The way the play? More like the Great White Bore-th
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
It’s been years of crap, struggles and toils
But now Lorde is wrong: We will be Royals
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The new richest man: Miguel Cabrera
Hey Miggy, you got some cash to spare-a?
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Tribe’s postseason goes back in the casket
But look Boo Boo, a Kip-n-is basket!
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
My Cy Young winner from a crappy team
Picked them last year. This year? Not in a dream.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Minnesota Joe still knows how to hit
It sucks the rest of his team plays like shit.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Billy Beane has bats to win some games
Too bad no one knows any of their names
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
MVP should be one of Mike Trout’s goals
But the Halos need some more from Pujols
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
No Kinsler? No Young? Prince Fielder in blue?
The Rangers fans be saying “Who are Yu?”
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The M’s brought a lot of cash to Safeco
But will it work out? Eh, I don’t Cano.
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
How short is Jose Altuve again?
He’s the new Jake in Two and a Half Men
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Atlanta’s winter: Who didn’t get paid?
Atlanta’s spring: One big surgeon brigade
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Harper could be the best player on Earth
But still, he isn’t, for what it’s Werth
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The NL East is so bad this season
The Marlins in third and that’s the reason
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The Phils’ GM is Ruben Amaro
Will they win? Not today or tomorrow
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
In the present, the Mets’ chances are slight
Harvey’s hurt, they can’t do anything Wright
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The Pirates are stacked, got over the hump
I like their chances with Cole on the bump
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
My man crush on Joey Votto rolls on
But I like them less with Shin Soo Choo gone
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Second in Missouri? What a shock-a!
But don’t count out Lynn, Miller and Wacha
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Fourth in this league? Nothing at to snort
Though it’d be fun to see CarGo at short
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Cubbie fans still hope, they watch and they pray
They don’t bring back Kosuke Fukudome
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The richest team in baseball plays out west
Take it from me: richest doesn’t mean best
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
No need to improve, they’re built for the falls
You’ve got to admire Bruce Bochy’s balls
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Tongues out D’Backs, you won’t go shyly
What’d you expect? Your ace is named Miley
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
The Pads not in last? A Yippee picks first!
San Diegans so happy, they might burst
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
Poor Rockies, poor Rockies, they still can’t pitch
With Helton gone, this year’ll be a bitch!
Yippee, Yippee, Baseball is Here
