Sports Monday

It's over - the final buzzer. After ESPN commentator's filled my apartment all weekend with their play by plays, Kansas and UNC are out. I have to say that I am relieved to know that my strategically planned bracket was mirrored by many of the industry's most knowledgeable. Better to be part of the upset than the improbable pick. "A topsy-turvy, wildly unpredictable NCAA tournaments had its most surprising moment Sunday as 11th-seeded Virgina Commonwealth continued what must be the most improbable run in the event's history, beating top-seeded Kansas, 71-61, to reach the Final Four in Houston." The upset of the season! Although my closet won't be housing a new pair of shoes, I will be rooting for VCU. As an underdog myself, I can relate. It's what Zenyatta does. Much to the surprise of my friends, I now know what channel ESPN, ESPN2 and Sports Center stream on. Now all I have to do is learn what a free throw is and I'll be a pro. That will have to wait though, on to Spring Training and Joe Girardi's lineup. Go get 'em boys.
