MLB Predictions/Catch up

John Berger
Reporter

We’re about three weeks removed from Opening Day, but the baseball season is still in its infancy. That means we’ve got enough time left to make some predictions.

AL East- New York Yankees. The Yankees didn’t have any big signings over the winter, but they did make a few beneficial moves. The AL East will be very competitive, but the Yankees are the best team. C.C Sabathia anchors the rotation, and Mark Teixera, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez are part of a strong lineup. Granderson and Jeter are on fire thus far, each with an OPS over 1.000.

Negative advertising’s impact is strong; the remedy’s in research

Jeremy W. Peters recently wrote an article for the New York Times headlined “92% of Ads in Florida Were Negative.” Exhibit A was an ad by the pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future, although I’m not sure this is a corner of YouTube you want to visit. Jane Mayer also wrote about negative advertising in an article about Larry McCarthy, who helps direct Restore Our Future, in The New Yorker; the article was called “Mitt Romney’s Attack Dog.”

We’ve officially hit the date when pitchers and catchers report for spring training. That also means we’ve hit the date of starting a ridiculously long season, one that encompasses about 9 months of the year.

Baseball is a sport that can be incredibly fun to follow if your team is doing well, and rather boring to follow if your team is not doing well.

The One Way Relationship Train

Kate Gilhool
Associate Editor

I hope it isn’t just me, but I feel like I have special relationships with celebrities even if I’ve never met them. When my girl Kim K filed for divorce a few weeks ago I was in shock because I had just celebrated her wedding 72 days before. When I say that I celebrated her wedding to Kris Humpries I mean that I spent 3 hours on the Dr. Pit couch in our living room watching her 3 part wedding special on E! News.
