Monday Morning's Crabs and Beer

There might not be competition for him, but Big Brown will be VERY GOOD for Preakness. The thought of a Triple Crown winner is GREAT for business, even if betting isn’t. The general interest and buzz on Preakness Day is more valuable in my mind than the actual amount bet will be (which will be high anyway). Wish I could give you more today, but we actually have multiple Cinco de Mayo broadcasts looming; so I immediately have to focus on Mike D’Antoni likely leaving (Chicago or New York?), the Diamondbacks’ continued struggles against the Mets, and which Cardinals are contract angry after minicamp. I’d rather talk about Garrett Olson. I’ll have more on Olson this week I hope! Let’s see what everyone else has to say… Best of Sunday’s WNST Blogs: Ed Frankovic says Big Brown will be ‘less than even money’ favorite at Preakness Gary Quill thinks no more than 8 horses will run at Preakness ORIOLES: The Official Site’s Spencer Fordin says Trachsel struggles as Birds lose game, series to Angels The Official Site offers numerical evidence of loss The Official Site’s Spencer Fordin says Olson will try to build off first start tonight vs. Eveland, A’s The Official Site’s Spencer Fordin says Millar has struggled early in season before Angels Official Site’s Ted Brock says Halos hit three homers in win Athletics Official Site’s Jane Lee says Eveland looks to continue success at home The Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec says Birds ‘frustrated’ after another loss The Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec and Roch Kubatko say Millar trying to break another tough early season stretch The Sun’s Bill Free says Costanzo trying to break slump on farm The Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec says errors on base paths doomed Birds in 1st The Examiner’s Tony Giro worried Birds might be primed for losing streak The AP says Saunders fortunate winner for Angels again Washington Post’s Marc Carig says Mora, Markakis homer in loss Washington Post’s Marc Carig says Wieters continues hot hitting on farm RAVENS: The Examiner’s Ron Snyder says DeCosta doesn’t think comparing Gooden to 52 fair The Examiner’s Dave Carey and John Keim say Gannon thinks Flacco in good spot with Ravens TERRAPINS LACROSSE: The Official Site says Terps seeded 7^th, open Tournament vs. Denver The Examiner’s Andrew Vitelli says Terps enter Tourney on winning note The Diamondback’s Eric Detweiler says Dalton boosts Terps The Diamondback’s Eric Detweiler says Virginia rubber match could loom for Terps Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says Terps finish with 10^th RPI HOPKINS LACROSSE: The Official Site says Jays seeded 5^th, open Tourney vs. Hofstra Inside Lacrosse’s Tournament bracket shows Jays could meet Mids in 2^nd round The Sun’s Edward Lee says Jays extend longest NCAA appearance streak in country The Examiner’s Dave Carey says Jays red hot as Tourney starts Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says Jays, Terps unlikely title picks due to seeding NAVY LACROSSE: The Official Site says Mids to open Tourney at 4^th seed Carolina Inside Lacrosse’s John Jiloty says Colgate’s win over Syracuse helped Mids IN Inside Lacrosse’s Terry Foy says Georgetown’s Urick not happy being passed over for Mids Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says RPI, SOS help Mids get in over Hoyas Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says Navy played tougher teams than Hoyas Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says Urick thinks Navy didn’t finish season well enough to get IN UMBC LACROSSE: The Official Site says heroic Dogs to open Tourney at 2^nd seed Virginia Inside Lacrosse’s Terry Foy says Dogs get tough break in having to visit Cavs Inside Lacrosse’s Jon Brand says schedule strength dooms Dogs to Charlottesville trip Inside Lacrosse’s Geoff Shannon says Dogs best of Tourney’s unseeded teams The Sun’s Edward Lee says Dogs will have to make up for Smith’s absence The Sun’s John Weaver believes Dogs 4^th best team in country The Examiner’s Andrew Vitelli says Smith’s injury mars big weekend for Dogs LOYOLA LACROSSE: The Official Site says Hounds to open Tourney at 1^st seed Duke Washington Times’ Patrick Stevens says Hounds trying to bounce back from embarrassing loss to Duke earlier in season SALISBURY LACROSSE: The Official Site says Gulls top seed in DIII Tourney for 6^th straight year Inside Lacrosse’s DIII Tournament bracket shows Salisbury top seed WASHINGTON COLLEGE LACROSSE: The Official Site says Sailors 4^th seed in DIII Tourney HORSE RACING: The Sun’s Sandra McKee says Derby horses won’t face Big Brown at Preakness The Sun’s Sandra McKee says Eight Belles death brings ‘scrutiny’ to sport DC Examiner’s Jim Williams says NBC failed in post-Derby coverage The AP says Big Brown will be big favorite at Pimlico Washington Post’s Andrew Beyer says industry making horses frailer Washington Post’s John Scheinman says industry under fire again *SOME QUICK THOUGHTS:* -We should expect plenty of mentions of Eight Belles during Preakness coverage; but I hope it isn’t ANYTHING like ABC’s coverage of the Belmont in 2006; when we saw more live shots of Barbaro at a veterinary hospital than stories about the creatures trying to capture one of the biggest races in sports. -Navy was more deserving than Georgetown for a spot in the NCAA Tournament despite the head-to-head loss. I still don’t know if there is a team in the field that can compete with Duke. This is more likely to be a case where Duke is going to have to play a true stinker over the next 3 weeks to not be the winner in Foxborough. -I haven’t filled out my entire bracket; but I’ll say Maryland AT LEAST beats Denver; Hopkins beats Hofstra for sure, Navy upsets Carolina; but UMBC and Loyola will both lose in the first round. More this week. Talk to you tomorrow. -G

Coach G - Do you think Towson's Doc the Tiger is related at all with Aubie the Tiger from Auburn? Long lost brothers? Maybe we should arrange a reunion. I would 'want to get there early to mingle.' Hope all is well in the desert, say hello to DJ for me. (Edit from GMC: Something about lemon squeezy....)
