I took all those except BYU. Dammit.

I even had Arizona and St. Mary's in my Sweet 16.

If Connecticut doesn't come back and beat San Diego, things are going to start looking pretty bad for my brackets.

I had K-state, A&M, but those others I took too. Luckily I had Davidson though.

Stupid Winthrop, Kentucky, Georgia, Kent St., Saint Mary's and Drake. That's it for now.

GameDay Audio link

I can't figure out what page to bookmark that doesn't take me back to a specific day; which page are you guys using? Is there an MLB launch page that isn't date-specific?

You can open gameday and access the audio from the link in there

After the first 5 innings today in Scottsdale and Peoria, Zito has pitched just a third of an inning less than Erik Bedard this spring and given up just 1 more run. Just sayin'.

by 2X2L on Mar 21, 2008 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Plus he has one more hit than Bedard. For whatever that's worth.

by 2X2L on Mar 21, 2008 2:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

Most likely this will be the White Sox opening day line-up and Zito is blowing them away. Where did Zito find the magic?

Kline and EME for the Yanks Betemit

by BigO on Mar 21, 2008 3:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

Kline, EME, & AURILIA

... for Betemit.

Then J. Sanchez for Nick Johnson.

Corners sorted for 08 & 09 - keeping fingers crossed for NJ's health and Betemit's potential to maybe suck.

Misch OK as a league average 5th guy or easy enough to find one cheap.

by aGIANTfan on Mar 21, 2008 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'd punt.

And if anyone can provide some sort of life-saving measure for this team, you don't need to be a GM, you need to be canonized.
