I’m not sure what exactly Major League Baseball was trying to accomplish by staging games that actually a count a week before the rest of the regular season in a place not exactly known for it’s love of baseball. If Arizona finishes two games behind the Dodgers in the NL West, they should be pretty pissed.
9. Kyle Larson Earns First Career Nationwide Win
Larson
backed up Saturday’s effort with an insane
march to the front during Sunday’s green-white-checkered finish, nearly
stealing a Sprint Cup win from Kyle Busch. Kyle Larson is the future of NASCAR.
8. Michael Vick Replaces The Sanchize
It’s only fitting that in honor of Mark Sanchez
officially getting the boot from the New York Jets, we post a video of his most
infamous NFL moment. 7. David Ortiz Resigned Through 2015
Boston has so little money committed to players beyond 2015 that they can afford to pay an aging Ortiz $16 million per year (if he hits certain incentives, he’ll be under contract through 2017). As the last man standing who has been on all three Red Sox championship teams this century, he deserves it.
6. Kevin Durant Leads Westbrook-less Thunder to Double
Overtime Victory
Durant’s final three points came with 1.7 seconds left in double overtime,
as the Thunder finished off an Eastern Conference road trip 3-0. They would be
wise to think about sitting Russell Westbrook for the remainder of the regular
season.
5. 4-Point Play Seals Stephen F. Austin Upset
Sadly,
No Credentials pre-tourney Cinderella pick couldn’t
parlay their miraculous victory over VCU into a Sweet 16
berth.
4. Kyle Busch’s Tires Don’t Explode, So He Wins Second
Straight At California
I may be in the minority here, but I like races
where Goodyear Eagles spontaneously combust, and
especially when a flat left front ruins a Jimmie Johnson trip to victory lane.3. Dayton Slays Another Dragon, Knocks Off Syracuse
After stifling a Syracuse squad that spent three weeks earlier in the season as the top ranked team in basketball, Dayton caught another break when #2 Kansas fell at the hands of Stanford. It’s not unrealistic to think Dayton could find themselves in the Elite 8.
2. Wichita State’s Undefeated Run Ends
For the record, we had Wichita going down in the Round of 32. Unfortunately we had Kansas State doing it, not Kentucky.
1. Duke Loses in First Round to #14 Mercer
If you’re going to lose one of your Final Four teams in
the first round, it might
as well be the Duke Blue Devils.
