    I don’t know if it is because of McCourt’s past shenanigans or the present dragging out team sale or simply the lackluster team we have this year, but I cannot ever remember having less enthusiasm going into the season…

  2. I sure hope I’m the first to post this: Two Royals teammates wearing Broxton’s pants:

  3. 76 people are 1-0 in the Dodger Thoughts tournament with their Murray State win. 

  4. 61 people are 2-0 with Kansas State’s win.

       I’m 2-0 so far, this will may be the peak for my bracket (though I’m doing ok with the 3 games going on now) !   I didn’t enter the DT bracket, because I had already been lured into the TBLA bracket before I realized you were going  to run one as well.  Good thing they didn’t count the play-in games, because I would have lost the Cal/South Florida game. Good luck with the rest of your bracket!

  5. Looks like my Davidson pick could be my first defeat.

    Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    “Tony La Russa might run Dodgers if billionaire Steve Cohen buys team”

    TLR year one Plan: Kemp hits leadoff (he’s our best hitter, so let’s get him as many at-bats as possible), Kershaw is the  closer (why waste him on five games that we’re going to lose; I prefer to use him only when we have a lead to nail down a guaranteed victory).  Oh, and did I mention, I invented baseball?

    Has there been any recent news on Patrick Soon-Shiong? I’m still hoping that he decides to get involved and put Magic’s group over the top.

    My fondest memories of Tony LaRussa are from 1988.

      That was before baseball was invented.  I think it was still called rounders back in the dead-muscle era.

    When was the last time Todd Coffey beat out a ground ball to right field?

    • Anonymous

      Todd Coffey has had just 10 PAs in his MLB career. He has struck out five times, sacrificed three times, and the other two times he grounded out to third and flied out to center.

  12. Sixteen entries are 8-0. 

  13. I am tied for 81st place out of 90. 

  14. No upsets in the first eight games.

      Wichita State is the first low seed to run into serious problems. However, I didn’t see the Syracuse-Asheville game

    A very Macdougalish performance today, except in the sense that he didn’t allow any inherited runners to score.

    What was the opinion on Bill’s performance?

    Two people are 12 for 12. Only one lower seed has won so far.
