12:57 - Trolling on ESPN and run across this article: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/spring2010/news/story?id=5005222
The headline is "Andrew Bailey of Oakland Athletics shut down". Apparently, he's out for a week. But that is a bad headline. I thought Bailey was done and starting immediately thinking of which person would step in to close for the A's...and my fantasy team.
I think it's Michael Wuertz and his 5 career saves.

1:01 - Rodger alerted me to a previous post when he "cryptically" typed in that I am gay while I was enjoying my frittata and salsa. Let the record show that I am, in fact, not gay. Whether or not I am a homosexual has been debated by friends and enemies. Rest assured, I am not gay.

1:03 - All three games are actually close. ODU-ND are tied, Flroida clawed back and cut it to 4, Robert Morris is still up 1. This might get interesting in 15 minutes when the games actually wind down to the final minutes.

1:05 - We're pretty sure that Kraken is not spelled like butt crack. Though Release the Butt Cracker makes for an inappropriate youtube clip.

1:07 - Rodger is taking far too long to find the "release the kraken" clip. I'm not sure what a kraken is. I actually am totally ignorant of what Clash of the Titans is about. I remember from my Classics course that Titans are like super people, or something. This is the extent of my knowledge of mythology.

1:08 - Jason Dong shows up. He's Canadian, so the idea of ice-less sports is fascinating him.

1:08 - Nobody has ever confused our very own Jonny Gomez for middling outfielder Jonny Gomes. This is stunning.

1:09 - NUSports is proudly advertising the Women's NIT game. Who the hell would schedule it against tonight's NCAA tournament games? Nobody in their right mind would pick Women's NIT over the first night of the Big dance. Welsh-Ryan will be packed with 15 middle-aged pedophiles...probably.

1:15 - Notre Dame goes for the tie down 3 with 20 seconds left. Missed dunk and then a tip-in to go down 1. ODU has the ball w 13 seconds left. Let's. Go. ODU!

1:18 "Your children will also be monarchs. Unless there is an overthrow of your government" - Rodger's encouragement

1:19 - ODU hits 2 FTs to go up 3. We agree that the Kraken should be released. It plays great perimter D.

1:19 - ND's game-tying shot rims out. ODU gets a 1 point win! Let's. Go. O D U!

1:21 - We zoom over to the BYU-Florida game. Florida misses a shot for the win. BLORMANS FIGHT!

1:31 Overtime is actually kinda boring. Big block by Jimmer Fredette. Gotta love Jimmer Fredette. It's even fun to type.

1:32 - The Blorman hits 2 FTs to cut the Florida lead to 2. Always trust Blormans from the Charity Stripe.

1:34 - The Blorman ties it w 2 more FTs. Is it possible to win a game in OT without ever hitting a field goal?

1: 35 - The Blorman hits a field goal to tie it back up. He has all 6 points in OT. They go to a timeout where the BYU players celebrate Jesus being born in America...and their athletic successes.

1:37 - BYU gets a stop and then the ball gets stripped. Fucking ridiculous. Florida has a chance to win it.

1:38 - Rodger and Jonny debate the relative hazards of a Cuban prison. Presumably a lot worse

1:40 - Double OT after Florida couldn't get even a decent look. BLORMANS. FIGHT!
"Up until 1978, black people weren't allowed to be Mormon" -Rodger, after wikipediaing Blacks and the LDS movement
"That's because they are descendents of Cain!" - Jonny

1:42 - Jimmer Fredette gets fouled, hits the deck, and then waves at thecamera as it focuses on him. My dear friends wonder which wife he was waving to.
Jimmer Fredette hits a FT, becoming the first non-Blorman to score in over 8 minutes of play

1:48 - Robert Morris is tied with Nova w 25 sec left. It's amazing what one man can do. Mr. Morris must be very proud.

1:50 - Scottie Reynolds missed his chance to be a hero. He'll get another crack at it with .8 seconds. No luck there either, even though they did get a decent look.

1:52 - The Blorman is hitting his FTs and putting the finishing touches on a monster win by The Overachieving Mormons Who Are Named After a Mysterious Pseudo-Religious Leader (TOMWARNAMAMPRL, for short)
