Nady rumblings and more

Apparently, speculating about the Mets being interested in Nady was a step in the right direction as the Mets inquired about acquiring Weapon X within the past few days. The PG says there's no interest on the Pirates' part to get a deal done right now, but I'm willing to bet that changes if Pearce keeps wrecking the Grapefruit League.

Maholm and Morris both got beaten up pretty good today. When I do things like the preview for the Hardball Times book (which is now shipping, hint hint) or Red Hot Mama's podcast, I generally cite the rotation as the team's strong point. When you really think about it, that's a terrifying thing for this team's prospects.

If you were hoping to get tickets to the home opener or Yankees series ... uhhh ... you're already too late.

You may or may not have heard about this big basketball game going on 'round my part of the country tonight. I'll be doing some coverage of it over at FanHouse, so if you're looking for a completely biased take on the game (sorry, Vlad, but it's not going to be biased in the direction you're looking for) you can look for that at some ungodly hour tonight. Or you can pretend like I never mentioned basketball on this blog. One or the other.
