The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Saturday night notes

- Pisser.  This time the Cubbies took one in the 9th.  Villanueva got rocked for a 2-run homer as the Cubs beat the Brewers 6-5.

I have to say that if this seasons games between the Cubs and Brewers are as entertaining as the last two days have been, you won't hear any complaints from me.

- Started Heavenly Sword after lunch today and am half way through it.  It really is an amazingly beautiful game.  They also had a nice little dig about "hitting your weakpoint for massive damage" in there.   I picked up the game on clearance at Target a year or more ago for $29 and think it was well worth that based on my time in it thus far.

- 6 days until my trip.  It'll be tough to be away from my daughters for 9 days... but I know they'll have a great time with their grandparents while we're gone.

- The NCAA Championship hockey game was a terrific battle.  Miami (OH) took a 2 goal lead late in the third and Boston University scored 2 goals in the last minute to tie the game.

I was watching the game with some friends and commented about how smart it was for BU to pull their goalie with 3 minutes remaining.  You need every advantage you can get at that point, and at the very least you're going to put a ton of pressure on the other team.  In this case, Miami cracked over time and let in the two goals to tie the game.  In the OT, Boston University controlled the tempo... and the only sad thing was that they won the game on a tipped goal that popped over the goalie's shoulder.

Still, it was a terrific national championship game.

- I love that the people got what they wanted and got Tiger and Phil in the same group on Sunday at the Masters.  The only problem is the fact that they're both 7 shots back.

It'll be interesting to see how the ratings play out on this one...
