"To sit at 1-0 right now feels pretty darn good." -- Houston winning pitcher Bud Norris, after an opening-night win over Texas

Daily blurb
The baseball season has begun. One game down, 2429 to go.

DailyBaseballData.com is up and running, featuring daily weather, batter vs pitcher matchup data, lineup info, and live stats. Some items may still need a bit of tweaking, but it appears that things are generally in good shape.

Congrats to Slice of Bread, who took the best ball honors in GuruGolf over the weekend with a -51, while worst ball honors went to The Eagle Has Landed (+41).

Only one Market Madness entry has Wichita State as a long, and only six entries have the #9 seed basket on the long side. Those scorecards all benefited from the 90 point bonus when the Shockers advanced to the Final Four. However, it looks like the leading contenders in the standings have generally advanced based on the success of either Michigan or Syracuse, either directly or in their various basket incarnations. With two #4s and a #9 still alive, there are still a lot of potential points up for grabs.
