Opening Day Trading
I’ve had this idea that if I were a baseball manager I wouldn’t have starters or closers. Instead the pitching staff would divide up the games. Each pitcher would pitch to roughly nine batters so that no batter seen the same pitcher twice in a game. I don’t like the idea of a closer. If [...]

Opening day in the MLB season is usually one of my favorite days of the calendar year. Even with last night being the official opening of the season and a couple games postponed today we still get to watch Johan Santana start in Cincinnati. Yes, a traditional opening day in Cincinnati.

New Jersey won the game 111-98.

Give Me The Blues
The Chicago Blackhawks are hosting the St. Louis Blues tonight in the NHL. I really like the Blues to win for a couple reasons. First, Chicago is playing their third game in four days and are coming off two lopsided losses. The Blues are going the opposite way, riding a five game win streak.

Swing For The Fences
Last night I decided to take a shot with a struggling Knicks team near the end of the game. The Knicks have a tendency to turn the ball over and play quite sloppy at the end of close games. I thought just once they might be able to pull it together. No such luck as [...]
