Butler plays Connecticut for the NCAA Basketball Championship tonight. The Bulldogs dominated the glass against VCU (46-30) including a whopping 15 offensive rebounds. Khyle Marshall has really emerged as a big time presence off the bench for the Bulldog frontcourt.
UConn won an ugly game over Kentucky 56-55. I guess you have to give the Huskies defense some credit for Kentucky's woeful offense, but there's no reason to shoot 33% from the FT line.
I think Butler has the perfect player to contain Kemba Walker in defensive specialist Ronald Nored. Frankly I'm a little surprised that UConn is as big a favorite as they are. (3.5points). I think Butler has more ways to win including a clear advantage inside with Matt Howard. I'll take Butler for the outright upset win and their 1st championship 65-63.
The Astros got swept by the Philles to open their regular season. The result itself is not all that surprsising. The Astros bats weren't exactly patient striking out 28 times while walking only 3 times (1of the walks was intentional). Bud Norris and Wandy Rodriguez continued their spring performance into the regular season, AKA they sucked. The video above is the game the Astros should have won before closer Brandon Lyon melted down in the 9th inning. No worries, now all Houston has to do is beat the Big Red Machine three times in Cincinnatti. The possibillity of a 2nd consecutive 0-6 start is very high.

I can't say I've been too many fights before, but this has to hurt.
How would you like one of these outside Reliant Stadium? English Soccer Club,Fulham, unveiled the statue before it's game on Sunday morning. Team Chairman Mohammed Al Fayed was friends with Michael before his untimely death. The statue looks strange, but then again, so did Michael.
