Just filled out my bracket...My total upsets(ie, lower seed over higher seed):

Zags in final 4

Siena over OSU

Zona over Utah

USC over BC

A&M over BYU

Utah St over Marq

Md over Cal

Mizzou over Memphis in sweet 16

Portland St over Xavier

LSU over UNC(sorry Beaner)

Western Kent over Illinois

Arizona St over Syracuse into the sweet 16

Clemson over OKla and Arizona St...elite 8

I took FSU to the sweet 16 and Clemson to the elite 8...Can't believe I did this.

I like this one.

Syracuse is going out early.

You do realize that 6 of their 9 losses came against the RPI top 13.

The other three were on a half court shot to Cleveland St. RPI 54, to Providence without their center or best pure shooter, and to Georgetown before they went into the toilet.

Wins at Memphis, in Kansas City against Kansas, and of course the UConn game.

I can easily see how you would surmise they will be an early exit.

What do they have left though?

They have had a lot of time to rest man, I don't think they will be in the tank.

I will look at the brackets later and come up with some upsets.

Off the top of my head I think VCU over UCLA in Philly jumped out in my head as soon as they announced it on CBS. But nothing else jumped out at it.

That's a popular upset pick it seems.

Collison can lock down Maynor I think.

      Food prices at Camden Yards

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      Exactly. My friend was arguing with me to see the Phillies prices. I said the Phillies have 35,000 fans and 250 million dollar payroll. Also they have 150 million dollars committed to next years roster. My argument is that we should be playing to who we are. We should not be cancelling the top left upper deck seats pre game instead of offering them for 5$ for students, kids, first responders, teachers. My son is 2 years old and may watch the game for 2-3 innings before walking around. Why would I want to get a expensive ticket.

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Frobby · Posted

      It’s dangerous to extrapolate much from one series.  If the Yankees stay healthy they’ll win 90+ games and force us to get to the high 90’s if we want to win the division.   Their starting pitching is decent and their bullpen as always is very good.  Death, taxes and a good Yankee bullpen.   The offense wasn’t scary and we’ll see if it stays that way.  I think Torres is a big key to their season.  He’s at .569 OPS and at 27 years old there’s no reason he should suddenly be taking a 200 point OPS dive.  If he gets back to normal and Judge heats up, they’re suddenly much more dangerous on offense.   I’m glad we took 3 of 4 and finished the series in first place, but there’s miles to go and the season will take many twists and turns.

      Yea I could see the Yankees being dangerous in a series if Soto and Judge are hot and Cole is back pitching like he can.  That bullpen is tough if they have a lead. But they need a lot to go right imo. I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if they missed the playoffs although I would pencil them in as of today.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      You rightly listed ahead of Povich the guy that is probably closest to him--Coloumbe.  Coloumbe is an excellent reliever. Zimmerman was never talked up by management like Povich.  Zimmerman was never a top 100 prospect on any prospect list like Povich.  Zimmerman and Povich are currently on the same team and one is clearly superior to the other.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      Mayo could DH versus LH SP, and play some 3rd va RHP. Ramon could enter in late as a defensive sub. That’s an everyday role with 1 off day a week.

      Jacob Webb 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      I'll forgive him for both if he can keep pitching the way he has. Baker? you will probably see him this Summer in a Shuttle move or 2 to eat non leveraged innings, hopefully not in October.
