My argument was wrong. My sentiment remains the same, that I'll never pick an all #1 seed final four, but the justification remains wrong wrong wrong.

At least you managed to make me waste about an hour of my work day.

Happy to be of service

Next year Yeti is going to pick two 11 seeds to be in the Sweet 16.

Not sure who, but the precedent has been set.

We all laughed when Yeti tried to tell us that elementary chaos theory tells us that a 3-, a 4-, an 8- and an 11-seed were a lock for the Final Four.

Who's laughing now?

This proves my theory that there is zero upside in spending a significant part of any day discussing Yeti, his problems, his opinions or his wardrobe. I have no problem with the guy whatsoever, but when you let him hit a walkoff like this off of you, that's gonna sting for awhile. You need to have a talk with your team.

I'm about 1% mad the Cubs lost the first game of a 162 game season. What harm does it do to allow the Pirates to have the division lead for a day?

I like watching Kerry Wood pitch in a Cubs uniform
Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

I don't dislike Ryan Dempster. Even a little.

They're putting some effort in. But no.

I think this team has echoes of the 2007 Cubs.  They'll play entertaining but losing baseball until July, and then get their shit together and sneak up on the equally shitty Cards and Reds to take the division with 88 wins.

Despite the outcomes of the first series I actually like what I see. I hate myself for it but I think this team is watchable.
