Oooh, not good for UCLA or NC. Great games, though!
The wife and I filled in the brackets before the first game of the tourney. Ironically, I have Memphis winning the whole thing and she has Kansas!
Lots of fun in our house tonight!!!
Damn March Madness over took Monday Night RAW. A 9:15 start time pushed back to 12:30 is ridiculous.

I have a buddy who goes to KU and he is not going to let me hear the end of this, EVER.
Now that the tourney is over, I believe I'll merge this with the melting pot Sports Thread. Unless anyone has any objections, that is.
Ah hell, man! If I'd know you were an alumni, I would have sided with the missus and picked Kansas!Bill you shoulda went with KU! Rock Chalk Jayhawk!Oooh, not good for UCLA or NC. Great games, though!

MORNEAU!
Not that i would have minded Hamilton winning the Derby, but yaaaaay, Justin!
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Good for him indeed, but Hamilton was certainly the story. 28 in one round is just insane.MORNEAU!

I felt a little bad for the other guys. Their numbers were actually okay but after Hamilton came up, they looked like a bunch of chumps.

It's not just the 28 in one round - it's the back story of his addictions and the fact that three of his dingers were in the top ten of all time for distance. The man can simply knock the snot outta the ball!
Has anyone looked at the lineup for the AL Team in tonights All-Star game?
- Ichiro
- Jeter
- Hamilton
- A-Rod
- Manny
- Milton Bradley
- Youklis
- Mauer
- Pedroia
Awesome!

I agree, though 28 is impressive for anyone, recovering addict or no. It does add a nice element to the story to see this guy come out the other side of his troubles.
I don't know if anyone else was pulling for the National League but I sure was.
And let me just say that I'm not sure if they would've won had Dan Uggla not fucked up so colossally but he certainly didn't help. I called him every name I could think of.
I can understand when a player has a bad game, that's forgivable. It happens to the best of 'em. But that was the All-Star Game. ALL-STAR as in awesome players.
I can't even get a winning team when it's made up of the best players in the whole fucking National League!

Pretty much. Sorry.

Nope. Mets fan here. Def prefer the NL game to the AL game.
Praise you!
I'm an Astros fan, though living in Toronto I do end up cheering for the Jays.
Still, I'm a Houston fan first.

Billy Wagner as THE CHOKE ARTIST.
The whole bullpen looks to be in full form right now. I'm not that worried about Wagner. He still saves many more games than he loses. If they get into the post-season, he'll have another shot at winning in the clutch situation. The Mets still need to find a new closer because Wagner is getting quite old and can't do it forever. They need to have a replacement ready to go. That said, as far as pitching goes, I'm more concerned about Pedro's frailty and when the hell Hernandez is coming back than I am about Wagner blowing a big save.

What ya'll think of it? Better then the Barons. Blech.
Thunder is indeed better than Barons. That said, I'm not crazy about the logo. I suppose they painted themselves into a corner on that one as there isn't really a good way to visually represent thunder, but it looks more like a logo for a basketball league with the word thunder printed on top of it.
Either way, good luck to Oklahoma City with your new franchise. Win or lose, you have Durant on your team and he will be fun to watch.
Glad you guys finally got a pro team Tel.

Congrats, even though the name kinda sucks. Oh well, it was the best of the bunch.
I mean, what grown man wants to be on a team named the Energy?

No doubt. That's much more of a WNBA sounding name (no offense to the WNBA, but they have the worst franchise names in sports).
Since we are talking about team names, I personally prefer names that relate somehow to the home city. For instance, the Tampa Bay hockey franchise is called the Lightning, which works as Tampa is known as the lightning capital of the world. On the other hand, the Jazz should have changed their name when they moved. It was perfectly suitable for New Orleans, but it's a bit ludicrous for Utah.
ps. I don't know much about Oklahoma, but I would suspect it gets it's fair share of thunder.
I thought it sounded WNBA-ish, too. That, and the chearleading dance team for the Bucks is called Energee. So yes, I have definite feminine associations with that name.
Yeah, they do get a lot of thunder, since they're in Tornado Alley.
I'm with you on the Jazz, and I'll add the Lakers to that list.
