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.

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.

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.
