Ravens:
General consensus is that the Ravens scored a B+ in the draft by loading up on young players to restock the roster. The Jags were generally considered to have done their best by stocking up on defensive talent, and the Eagles did the least to help their cause. Mike Preston accused the Ravens of playing it “too safe” and not taking enough risks to push them over the edge. Only time will tell, as all teams are gawking at their prom dates. Check back in 6 months and see if they are still the girl the asked out in April.
Orioles:
After failing to get a front line pitcher, the Orioles loaded up on hitting. That got them a 7-0 start, but only 8-10 since then. Hardy is headed to the DL, but the team will recover. Expect a lot of runs this season from both sides of the plate.
Alouettes
Nothing new to report.
Blast (MASL):
The Blast won the MASL Championship; will spin off their own league next season.
Chesapeake Bayhawks: (Home games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium)
Bayhawks have opened the season 2-0.
Capitals (See website for more details):
The Caps won the Presidents Cup, but are down 2-1 to the evil penguins.
Wizards (See website for more details):
Season is over.
Mystics (See website for more details):
Season starts May 14.
D.C.United (See website for more details):
United is 2-3-4, which is good enough for a tie for 4th place presently.
What do you want to see in the Ravens report? What should be scrapped? Actually, never mind. No one is reading this anyway so you probably won’t know the difference. Send an email to iggy at tealdragon.net. Thanks!
