Exactly, and I’m a Yankees, Celtics and Canadiens fan. 

Sarcasm has never been my strong suit... but I've said for years my teams are:

Rangers in MLB (used to be the Senators before they moved to Texas, my dad's team)

Penguins in NHL before Crosby/Ovechkin came into the league.  I loved Mario

Bullets aka Wizards NBA

Commanders in the NFL

George Mason in NCAA Basketball (graduated in 2009 from there)

Glad you clarified that...I would've thought ya did it just to troll OCD people :P

LOL!!!  Nah, I wouldn't do that!  I guess I figured people might wonder why the hell I didn't just crop it to be right in the middle of the image.  Which would have been fine, I normally do that afterward with lunar photos I take.  But in this instance, I noticed all the stars visible around it, so I wanted to crop it such that they would also be visible.  Plus, just an artistic license here, sometimes keeping space on either side of a main subject creates an interesting balance, or imbalance.  If I had done a time series of the eclipse as it approached totality, I would have centered it of course, for that.  In fact, 3 years ago (last total lunar eclipse visible in this area) I did just that.  For this one, knowing there would be a lot of cloud cover and the fact that it was middle of the night (3 years ago was near sunrise, pre-dawn hours, and it was clear!), I didn't really care to wander outside several times hoping to capture gaps in the clouds.  So I decided to just  go out right around totality.  I almost was going to give up on this one, to be honest!  I went out around 2:45am, wandered around looking in the approximate area where the moon was supposed to be and...nothing!  Very frustrating.  I was about to just call it a failure and go back to bed, when I then saw it in a thin gap through the clouds.  I stuck around for about 20 more minutes, there were more decent gaps here and there, and I grabbed several shots (hoping a few would turn out decent enough!).

You love trolling MD/DC teams don't ya? Lol

But yeah this is why I'll never believe the Terps in the playoffs no matter how good they are during the regular season. Now I know they still have the big dance, but I'm not expecting much there either. I feel like...they need a Gary Williams coach again. I have my doubts about a postseason Willard.

A lot of calls went Michigan's way yesterday.  And they missed A LOT of travels on Michigan that led to points in the early 2nd half as well.

Great game by the Wizards last night, but they do rely a bit too much on the three ball.

As for MD...that ending pissed me off.  I know Reese was defending the weak side, but you can't let a guard go end to end like that.  I really think they need someone taller in the paint...this isn't the first time our front court (including Queen) has given up points in the paint and boards.  With that said, think MD will end up with a 4 seed, which is still pretty good.

Poor Sean. He had to use a shovel just to be able to walk to the snowboard, just because Mt Bachelor got annihilated by 25 inches in the past 24 hours, ON TOP of 10-15 inches the day before! They just moved the snowboard to a new site, just because Sean can't stand deep snow lmao! Sorry kid! The snow just got to be over three feet deep, with a hell of a lot more on the way! Would you take a look at the SIZE of those snow aggregates!! Better dig it up LMAO!  I been watching it live! You can't even BELIEVE how fast that snow is piling up! You can actually see it accumulate IN REAL TIME, over just 60 seconds! This is better than Mammoth!

Jay Peak, Vermont has been in the low mid 60s for FOUR DAYS in a row now!!! What is going on up north? Spring is coming 4 months EARLY up there! Has anyone checked the North Atlantic Current lately? At this rate they will soon have catastrophic floods as all the snow melts all at once!

This could be bad. Binghamton, NY hit 67 today! That's nearly 70 degrees, in mid March. That's way too HOT! Buda, TX was cooler than Binghamton NY today! We had sun! Uh-Oh.

O's seem content to be mediocre.

Don't think their starting rotation is good enough to make the playoffs as currently constructed.

83ish wins

That makes me worried about Grayson
