Well, just watched Duke stink it up in the first round of the tournament. They just didn’t seem to have anyone willing to catch the ball and try to score, they’re all looking for someone to pass to. This is the same problem they had all season. They’re all too unselfish and need someone to just sack up and score. Ah well, the more the Dookies lose, the happier I am. My only problem with them losing is I had every game right up to that point (I know, no upsets, how hard is that, but I wasn’t just picking every top seed) and Duke spoiled that for me.
Regardless, my current school just beat Duke, my alma mater beat them in their only meeting earlier this year. It’s a good year to hate Duke.
Tribe looking good in Spring Training. In three games over two days they have allowed 0 runs. That’s right, the much maligned bullpen from last year has combined with the 4th best starting staff (last year, according to ERA) to allow zero runs the last three games. That’s good news for the Tribe who finished second in offensive production last year and have upgraded themselves in that area. We didn’t have an everyday second basemen last year after the break, and our third baseman (Marte) will hopefully pick up his hitting a bit. Combine Barfield (second base) with Marte’s hopeful improvement and Peralta’s Lasik in the offseason and the Tribe should need an average pitching squad to break .500. With a standout pitching squad AL Central opponents had better watch out.
