- Chris Cotillo argues that the cold stove may be a sign of more serious things to come.
We've joked about the #ColdStove a ton all winter, but in reality, the gap between the owners and players is growing in baseball and it's a serious issue. We're likely on the verge of serious reform here.

Luke’s Pick...
- Coincidentally, my friends and I last night before dinner were talking about the “where were you” moments of our lives. Little did we know that we would experience a “where were you” moment a few hours later when Dominic Green buried a buzzer beater three pointer to lift the Huskies to a 78-75 win over Arizona. I am without words.
Cold blooded.

- Also, I am in this picture, but a hand is covering my face. I still think the picture is worth sharing though, because it shows how incredible the Dawg Pack was last night.

I asked him why.
"Because I've played in three Super Bowls."
