I'm not sure who started all this trivia crap on the NET, but quite frankly 
I'm tired of it.  I don't mind trivia usually.  In fact I like the kind that 
asks realistic questions like which team has had the most Cy Young winners 
or who was the rookie of the year in '52, but I hate the kind of ridiculous 
questions that have popped up lately about throwing 9 pitches in a 9 inning 
game or how to drive in 5 runs with a single at bat or was that a single plate 
appearance.

I thought this newsgroup was for something else, at least it seemed so last 
year.  Why can't we discuss things that are happening now.  Like what about 
Rick Sutcliffe?  Is he still injured?  How long was/is he out?  With all the 
Cub fans and Mets fans, I would have thought his injury might have been 
something to talk about.  

Or is it just too early in the year?

Me, I'm a Braves fan.  I don't have nothin' to talk about.

I do have a baseball related question that came to mind during a recent Braves 
rain delay.  How many ballclubs put advertisements on the tarp that covers the 
infield during a rain delay.  The reason I ask is because Morton Salt has 
their familiar "When It Rains, It Pours" slogan on the Braves tarp.  Is it
common throughout the league to have advertisements or is that Ted's idea?
