The baseball season is still early so I'm not going to panic about the Mets being swept by the Braves. I'm going to chalk up our poor play to bad weather. laugh.gif

Hi Bubba here, Kansas beats Memphis in overtime to win the NCAA title.

Memphis, IMO, gave it up at the end of reg. by missing those free throws.

I played on MLB.com a couple years ago. I finished first there, but I didn't like how it was run. If you haven't tried already, you should take a look at Yahoo!'s version. There's a lot more different settings for scoring, roster spaces, etc. I really like it there more.

Whats up with the Yankees...they seem to be showing signs of age..Posada has a "dead arm" and Jeter is also hurt...I hope they are ok ..I want the Red Sox to beat them with their entire team on the field...
stablersfan
no kidding, i want to see a heck of a game, still ending in a Red Sox victory of corse. but its not as much fun when both teams are not battling it out until the end.

I agree ... the baseball season wouldn't be the same if the Yankees and the Red Sox wouldn't battle for the title...but beware of the Toronto Blue Jays..

Ahem...I hope you mean for the Eastern Division Champ title, because it would be nice to see two teams in the World Series that isn't there all the time, or at least it seems like that. As long as the Yankees lose, they can spend there money and not do good with it, that's fine with me. smile.gif

Candace Parker was the first draft pick for the WNBA yesterday. All five Lady Vols starting were drafted yesterday. 2 of them will be teammates; Candace Parker and Shannon Bobbitt.

It was a good race. I am watching Jr's interview, he is so dissapointed. It was a good points day though. I hate fuel milage races. I can't stress that enough. I hate fuel milage races. They have an off next week then off to Taladega. Jr is now 3rd in the points.

I heard that...many sports announcers don't think he is good enough for the Hall-of-Fame, I tend to agree, but we will wait and see ... on a brighter note, my Red Sox beat the Yankees last night... biggrin.gif

Way to go. I just hope the Astros give us some good games to enjoy this summer. We're going to see them in Pittsburgh and DC during our vacation. We love baseball and can't wait to visit other MLB parks.
