An epidemic?

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Well, the baseball season kicked off with a bang and I'm going to brag while I can. The Astros are currently in first place in the NL Central. Unfortunately, they are tied with two other teams with a 5-2 record. Early indications are that this will be a tough division as five of the top six teams have a winning record so far. The season is but a puppy, though, so there is no reason to talk about standings yet. (I just can't help myself...)

The poor Florida Marlins are off to a bad start with a 1-6 record and I think I know why. Not only do they start about 12 rookies, it seems there is also a problem with balance on the team. About half the team can't put their hats on straight!

I knew Dontrelle Willis had the disease since his hat has been crooked for a few years, but after watching the Marlins play the other night, I noticed it has spread to a few other young players. Apparently, it's contagious.

Can someone in Florida confirm that it's a weird gravitational pull over there or perhaps something in the water that's causing this imbalance? I have a feeling it could mean 10-12 for this young team.
