363 days and counting

That east regional was everything that college basketball is supposed to be. Two great teams, from the same conference, battling to go to the Final Four in a regional named for the conference the teams come from. Who else to play a classic east regional final than two teams from the Big East?
Could the Final Four have been any more anticlimactic? If the tournament is the road to the Final Four, then somebody forgot tell the teams that the bridge was out on the way to Detroit.
Rejoice baseball fans. Your sport is back.
The more things change in baseball, the more they stay the same. Junior homered for the Mariners and the Cardinals can't hold a late-game lead. What is this, 1998?
Jason Giambi is playing with the A's and it looks like a Subway Series is not out of the question. 2000, I'd like to introduce you to 2009.
It doesn't matter who your favorite team is - you always think your team has a chance. Some small-market teams will hang around in the standings until the All-Star Break. Then the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets of the world will take over.
Just like Cleveland State, Dayton and Siena can win a first-round tournament games, the Orioles, Twins and Pirates can stay in contention for a while.
Traditional powers won out in the tournament, and it will happen in MLB, too. Like two stars passing the night every year, they have more in common than you know.
Only 363 days until we get to do it all over again.
