AN March Madness group on Yahoo!

It's been asked a couple of times (by me on one occasion) whether we're having another Yahoo! NCAA Tournament bracket group again.
Since I haven't heard from anyone else, I decided to go ahead and create the group this year:
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1
Click on "Join a Group"...
The Group ID# is 129574
The password to join is WeMissSwish
Even if you don't miss Swish, humor me anyway. :)
Thanks for joining!

Happy Opening Day! Baseball is really back, and it rocks.
I took the day off for this. Now I just need to know how to watch all the games (outside of the smorgasboard ESPN and ESPN2 has for today), namely OAKLAND at SEATTLE at 12:35 p.m. PDT/3:35 p.m. EDT.

UPDATE: A's fire Macha

It's official: The Oakland Athletics have fired Ken Macha.
Here's the latest from Sussan Slusser and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The primary reason is reportedly "Macha's problems communicating with players, along with what injured players have described as a callous attitude toward them."
This story does not name possible replacements.
More linkage:

- ESPN.com: After quick ALCS exit, A's fire manager Macha
Blez has his reaction on the front page.

Back in N.C.: Thanks and some below-average photos

Hi y'all! My wife and I got back to North Carolina last night, immediately greeted by the nasty humidity that we were so not missing in our four-day stay in the Bay Area.
We went sightseeing tour around San Francisco and took a bay cruise from Pier 39 to the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday. Then we went to Oakland Saturday and Sunday for my first A's games at the Coliseum.

Evaluating trades: In-season vs. off-season

During the horrific month of May, there were some ramblings from a number of baseball analysts and columnists who declared the Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder deals to be busts, many because the folks we got were stinking it up and Huddy and Mulder were doing A-OK.
