The Brownsburg girls basketball team hosts Hamilton Southeastern tonight. The Dogs have only beaten HSE once in the last decade and that was in 2000-01 when Brownsburg was 21-4. They have been playing well and had 10 days without a game to rest up and heal. The Sagarin ratings predict that HSE will win by 3 points, so it should be a pretty good game. HSE would like a game in the 40s where BBurg would like to see it in the 50s or 60s.
The Atlanta Braves have reportedly signed Billy Wagner to a one-year contract for $7 million. Wagner is a type-A free agent, so we will have to give up a first round pick. However, since the Braves have offered arbitration to their type-A free agents Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano this could balance out the loss of the pick for signing Wagner. In fact, if both Gonzalez and Soriano leave we would be net positive on the first round picks. Since Chipper Jones is the only returning starter over 30, these draft picks could help build a strong team in a few years.
The MAC football championship game is on Friday night. Central Michigan and Ohio play at Ford Field. CMU is a 13 point favorite and having seen both teams play at Ball State, I think that is a fair line. CMU is the best team in the conference, although that doesn't necessarily mean that they win the conference championship game (see: BSU 2008 season).
