Craig Edwards: March 2008 ArchivesIf this past football season taught us anything, it's that none of us in the sports office are any good at predicting the future. However, none us know how to quit when we're ahead either, so we decided to give it another go with Baseball. So, out came the crystal balls and tea leaves... again. Here are our division and wild card picks for the 2008 MLB season. ...By Craig Edwards What's up? Welcome to the second round. You may notice there aren't as many teams here with you.

However, the basketball tournaments have already started. The NIT, a good second tournament for those bubble teams who didn't make the b... By Craig Edwards Okay Oregon Duck fans, I promise not to gloat after my Washington State Cougars knocked you out of the Pac-10 Tournament last night (okay, maybe just this once - to quote Nelson from "The Simpsons": HA HA!!!!). That being said, the loss probably has a lot of you worried. It should. There is no further chance to pad the proverbial resume with wins.
