Yea. It's finally baseball season. Nats played an exhibition against Georgetown in FL. Won 3-0. Quoting WaPO beat writer Adam Kilgore, "The Nats beat Georgetown, 3-0, in a mostly well-played game. The Nationals used a lot of minor leaguers, and the Hoyas, who are 6-2 in their season, acquitted themselves well. Bryce Harper went 0 for 2 with a walk and a failed attempt at a bunt single."
Harry Saxa!

Great to see baseball again. There is something so comforting about "pitchers and catchers" report. Throw in that Harry absolutely loves baseball and there you have it.

This is the year the Royals get back to the playoffs! Have the Royals moved to Triple A? ;D Yeah, I know. They're on the rise, no question about it. But let's not get carried away, even if that's what spring is for (to a degree).

Isn't time for you to go out to Chavez Ravine and pay McCourt $50 for parking? ;D Frankly, I'll be happy with a .500 record. The hitting is there, just need some pitching to come along. At least the organization is building a team the right way.

As a Mets fan, I have to ask, "Is this frickin' season over yet?".

As a Mets fan, I have to ask, "Is this frickin' season over yet?". As a Met fan for 45 years, I find the prospect of this season absolutely liberating. There is no expectation; no possibility of disappointment; and the opportunity to watch some young guys develop. Given the rest of the NL East, the Mets' shrinking payroll and current 40 man roster, if they win 75 games Terry Collins is a genius. That said, even bad Mets baseball is Mets baseball for me.

At least the organization is building a team the right way. Yes, you're right, unlike my Chisox, which are a hot mess. As for McDoosh, I just want to be rid of one of the worst Hoyas ever. And that goes for the Screaming Meanie, as well. No matter what anybody else says, my bet is that the parking lots go with the team. It will mean more money in McDoosh's pocket, and no owner group with half a collective brain would want to leave the lots in his hands.

Nats will win 90 and push for a playoff spot. You heard it here first. Is it April yet?

My favorite part of the story is how she doesn't splurge for the Raspberry Ice Tea. That would just be gluttony - gotta stick with the water.

So the Dodgers go from McCourt to Magic (and others): www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-0329-dodgers-magic-20120329,0,5012740.story I assume this will be approved (and MLB will not object) even though it appears to be pretty leveraged (at least up front). And McCourt seems to make out ok. He bought the team for $430M and sells it for $2B, leaving him with plenty of cash, even after he pays off his ex-wife and his creditors. Apparently he's also keeping a stake in some of the lots/property in Chavez Ravine.

I am not a Dodgers fan, but I am willing to forgive ole Frank his various transgressions if he wants to take some of that windfall to build the McCourt Athletic Training Facility at his alma mater.
