    Blanco equalized in the 92nd minute and the Fire escaped with a point. I missed it, though.

    Not as bad as their offseason has been. They'll be quite average this season.

    Mbah a Moute's play has been huge for UCLA so far. They'll need him, too, considering both Keefe and Aboya have two fouls and they could be running short on big guys in the 2nd half.

    The officials have absolutely no consistency in this game. They're missing some really obvious fouls, calling some the wrong way, and making phantom calls on others. They also seem not to want to call any traveling violations. You have no idea how they're going to call things each trip down the floor.

    Shots away from the board have not looked pretty so far.

    There's also a difference between clutch and anti-clutch. The supposed existence of anti-clutch does not prove the existence of clutch. And I'm not getting involved.

    The refs aren't helping UCLA right now. They turned an obvious kick ball against Xavier into a clear path foul against UCLA.

    Not that anyone will be watching on ESPN2, but Brent Musburger will be doing PBP. It's apparently his first game in 13 years.
  9. Jon
    Love has looked a little shaky since his first alleged foul.

    If clutch didn't exist, there wouldn't be an entire league dedicated to it. You can't just discount the clutch debate. At least not as long as it has a major impact in personnel decisions and team philosophy (such as not having a philosophy and simply waiting for the clutch hits to come). If it only existed in the media, then it should definitely be ignored.

    For kicks, here's the top 10 from that draft: 1. Delmon Young, TB 2. Rickie Weeks, MIL 3. Kyle Sleeth, DET 4. Tim Stauffer, SD 5. Chris Lubanski, KC 6. Ryan Harvey, CHC 7. Nick Markakis, BAL 8. Paul Maholm, PIT 9. John Danks, TEX 10. Ian Stewart, COL

    And it continues. Both sides are letting it fly. 4-0 Manchester United after another Rooney goal.
  13. Jon
    The last 5 minutes of the Man U/Aston Villa game has been pretty darn good. In a complete downpour, there have been 3 missed amazing scoring chances followed by another goal for Rooney.

    Fire vs. RSL today at 5 PM on My50, the Fire's new TV home.

    http://blogs.trb.com/news/weather/weblog/wgnweather/FEA032908SAT.jpg An 80+ degree home opener? That I can't believe, even if it was April 17th.

    Looks like there are good UD Box infield (covered in case of rain) seats and singles behind home plate in 123. Hopefully they release tickets for big games later this year.

    Time is very quickly running out for Wisconsin. And by that I mean they're dead.

    It's probably worth more than your tourney bracket. And to think I tried so hard to keep it from getting wet as I was walking home from Barnes and Noble in the rain. I wonder how things would have turned out without that broken foot.

    Let's relive the good times: 2004 - 541 ABs, .307/.363/.593/.956, 38 2Bs, 39 HRs, 120 RBIs, 123 Ks, 48 BBs What should I do with the BA issue with him on the cover now?

    You're probably still recovering from that beatdown in the dome from a few days ago. Non-revenue sports have improved remarkably under Mark Murphy over the last few years. Basically every program this winter and spring aside from the two basketball teams and the baseball team did very well, but the challenge for our new AD will be fundraising. He did a great job with that at NIU and while I love Welsh-Ryan Arena, we still desperately need other facility upgrades for our basketball program. The locker room was recently renovated, but the rest of their facilities are horrible. Putting some money into the program should help with recruiting, not just picking the right coach next season.

    I'm in the bottom half of the pool and it's only going to get worse considering the fact that I had Georgetown beating Tennessee in the Final Four...
  22. Jon
    It should technically be called fielding and not defense, as defense is the combined effort of pitching and fielding (mostly pitching) to prevent runs from scoring.
  23. Jon
    Wow. I did not expect a quick shot.
  24. Jon
    That sure was a lot of missed putbacks.
  25. Jon
    I don't think I'll be able to resist saying "fantastico" after every Z hit.
