Now that the Cardinals and Mets are playing I guess it really isn’t the pre-season any longer but I’ll make my predictions anyway. After rigorous calculations I present to you the 2007 MLB Results!

This year’s on-field caps by New Era are available and named the 59FIFTY. These unlike the new BP caps, which is what is shown to the left here, don’t look much different at all but there are some changes. They have a black under visor to help with glare, they contain no wool to help […]
