Reader Nick has picked up two tickets for the Rapids Opening Day.  A brief excerpt from the winning submission:

There was one theory that seemed to have the support of most players.  They believe that they could be cursed by Ottawa last year.  How you ask?  Well, when you play in Canada , your bat speed permanently slows down after a year there.  Sometimes the bat slows down immediately, sometimes it takes years.

Honorable mention to Nelson who pointed out that Wednesday marks “Eskimo Night” at the Lynx’s new digs.  It’s a decent enough promotion, and I have to confess that it’s nice that they don’t seem at all concerned (blogger: aware?) about the “political correctness” factor.
