Dodgeball rage
Jeff, this is exactly why we shouldn't play dodgeball anymore.

First baseball game of year
So, it might not be the real opening day, but Dan, Jeff, and I went to the "Battle of the Beltway" exhibition game this evening to see the Orioles take on the Nationals. The Orioles won, 9-5. (And, for Dan, the official attendance was 18,442.)
Despite the weak attempt at creating a rivalry, honestly I didn't really anything of the sort. I mean, the teams play in different divisions, so they really don't play each other that often. Besides, there's no history, unlike, say, that between the Yankees and the Red Sox or the Cubs and the Cardinals. Most importantly, as Boswell pointed out today, the teams really should just unite against their common enemy.
And anyway, the real story tonight was how well Kris Benson pitched just one day after his wife filed for divorce.
Final NIT Challenge Update
Last night, South Carolina beat Michigan 76-64, to win the NIT for the second year in a row. So, as promised, here are our final overall bracketmaster standings:
#16 -- Dara
#18 -- Justin
#19 -- Jason
#45 -- Dan
#58 -- Jeff
#59 -- Andy

More baseball predictions
Not mine, though. While Justin may have posted his own baseball predictions, for the time being, I'm posting King Kaufman's.
American League:
Western Division champions: Oakland A's
Central Division champions: Chicago White Sox
Eastern Division champions: Toronto Blue Jays
Wild card: Los Angeles Angels
American League champions: Oakland A's.
National League:
Western Division champions: Los Angeles Dodgers
Central Division champions: St. Louis Cardinals
Eastern Division champions: New York Mets
Wild card: Atlanta Braves
National League champions: Atlanta Braves
World Series: Atlanta Braves over Oakland A's
I think these picks are notable because, like me, Kaufman picks the Blue Jays to win the American League East, and in the same division, has the Orioles finishing last, or more importantly, behind the Devil Rays. So I'm not entirely crazy.
