The countdown is on as there are only ten days between now and the start of the 2015 Major League Baseball season -- with our Minnesota Twins opening on the road at Detroit on Monday, April 6th. The Twin's home opener at Target Field (yes, I will be there) is set for a week later against the Royals.

The Twins will play their final Spring Training game on April 4th in Fort Meyers against the Red Sox, before closing up camp and heading to Detroit. The Twins are 9-12 so far in the Grapefruit League this spring.

The Washington Nationals are the preseason favorite to win the 2015 World Series at 5/1. The Los Angeles Angels are the favorite in the American League at 12/1.

The Twins you ask? They're 120/1 to win the World Series (4th from the bottom), and 60/1 to win the American League pennant (last).

Guess who doesn't care? Me. Just give me some sunshine, a warm breeze, a cold beer, and a good game to watch. Just a day at the beach. (I'd be OK with winning a few along the way too though).

Go Twins!
