4:00 PM: Baltimore (Hammel) at New York (Sabathia)
7:30 PM: St. Louis (Wainwright) at Washington (Gonzalez)
Game 1:
Cardinals v Braves, 4:00 PM CDT
Kyle Lohse v Kris Medlen
I'll admit, I picked the Braves because Medlen has been amazing.
Game 2:
Orioles v Rangers, 7:30 PM CDT
Joe Saunders v Yu Darvish
Seriously? Joe Saunders in the Must Win game?
This will act as the post for everything today, although maybe I'm the only one who cares.
Up first: let's see if these Tigers are any good against Nick Punto and the Red Sox.
The visiting MLB champions are, of course, starting Kyle Lohse in game one. Remember him? Remember how much Gardy hated him? Now he has a ring, and so does Punto (who's now with the Sawks).
Miami (I'm not used to that yet) has Josh Johnson going. I've always been a big fan for no particular reason, and hope he's back from injury, though the Twins have done little to fill me with hope when a pitcher I like gets injured.
So, who's the first to give us a look at the home run thingy? I'll say Giancarlo Stanton.
Baseball, guys!
From the Repository:
For other teams, however, the NIT is perceived as a step up in a program climbing from mediocrity or obscurity, and the response is more enthusiastic.
Heh, yeah - that's us.
Wasn't sure if anyone wanted a game log for this momentous occasion but hey, the last 2 times the Gophers won the NIT (1993, 1998*) , they followed it up with a visit to March Madness the following season.** I'll be late to the party but here's to a good turnout for the boys in Maroon and Gold.
7 Eastern, 6 Central Standard Time on the FourLetter.
*vacated!
**and those seasons (or at least the records of those seasons) don't count either!
Pek is out. SCB is in. Tyreke Evans is out.
If the Wolves want to make a run this is as good a place as any to start.
The recaps for Saturday are all that need to be filled.

Below is a make believe conversation that may or may not take place after the Wolves beat the Magic tonight.
Jerry Zgoda: Dwight, there has been a lot of speculation as to where you might end up this season.
Dwight Howard: Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio are really talented players, they really impressed me tonight. I could see myself playing in Minnesota.
Jerry Zgoda: Umm...
Dwight: I am committed to giving it my all in Orlando though. I would never ask for a trade
Jerry Zgoda: Sure...
Dwight: It is just that sometimes, you know, I want to win championships and I don't know that if the team I have here in Orlando will help me in accomplishing that goal.
Jerry Zgoda: ....
Dwight: But yeah, I think that New York, New Jersey, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Minnesota all present those opportunities.
Jerry Zgoda: So are you saying that you want to play in Minnesota?
Dwight: Look man, I don't know why you reporters keep asking me questions like this. I just want to play the game and help Orlando win a championship.
Tonight, watch Dwight Howard sullenly put up 20/13 while not interacting with his teammates in anyway what so ever.
