I struggle with predictions the way some folks battle bad hair days and others wrestle with Snapchat.
In 2005, I picked the Chicago White Sox to finish last in the AL Central.
Of course, they won their first World Series in 88 years that summer.
So every year about this time, my daughter's godfather, a die-hard White Sox fan going back to the days of the late, great Walt (No-Neck) Williams and Steve Dahl and Disco Demolition Night, checks in to beg me to pick his team last again.
I do what I can.
