Early Saturday morning update
- Well, we’re up to the Elite 8 and I’d have to say that at least 10 people are still in the contest for the prizes. Somehow or another, I’ve managed to crawl into a tie for first. Having 6 of the Elite 8 can do that, I guess. If I get a North Carolina Memphis final, I should be in good shape… but if UCLA makes it, then I might be hurting.
Good luck to everyone as we approach the Final Four.
- I shouldn’t have said that I would have a free Sunday. If Wisconsin beats Denver tomorrow night, I’ll be watching some hockey on Sunday. I just don’t have the highest of hopes for that.
- Still bummed about the Badgers losing last night, but they did lose to the Cinderella for the tournament. That Kansas game will certainly be an interesting one to watch now.
- Played a few hours of the RTTS mode in MLB 08 tonight and it’s just incredibly fun. I got sent to AA right out of Spring Training, as I deserved… I only was hitting .198, and have moved from a backup OF to a starter. Hitting .377 through the first 28 games, primarily as a pinch hitter, seemed to give my manager enough reason to make me a starting OF. I’ve actually had a few really great moments where I’ve had to come to the plate in the top of the 9th and come up with a hit to get the win. When you do, it’s a really cool feeling. I’ll give them credit for that, they really get you involved in the game.
The one thing that is annoying the crap out of me is the commentary. I’m only in May and I’m hearing repeats in every game. That’s a definite downer.
Other than that, I’m loving my time with the game of late.
