I recall lamenting the dearth of sports news in the dead o
f . . . er, spring. That stretch after March Madness' culmination in early April when all we have is opening day - the excitement of which wears off rather quickly, especially in Milwaukee - is almost unbearable.
Today, however, I was giddy as I poured over stories detailing the NCAA's new tourney format, previewing the All-Star Game, recapping Spain's World Cup triumph, analyzing the Heat-fecta (that one'll go on for a while), and of course. . .ESPN's annual Favrefest - 2010 edition.
I have a LeBron James post that I've been working since last Thursday . . . my fingers can't keep up and my mind overheats every time I try to put i
t together. It's unprecedented. It's selfless and selfish at the same time. It’s . . . I, I just can't talk about it. . .
In the meantime, I'm going to revel in the current sportsabord. Especially the Brewers' chance to have a great couple days. What's that? Oh, sure, I know they don't play - it's their best chance not to lose.
OK, I don't mean to hate on the 'Crew. I mean, they are, after all, building a giant new scoreboard - to supersize the sucking! Funny that the only two
teams that have larger boards are the Royals and Diamondbacks. Huh. Maybe the teams figure if they blind the fans (those who bother to show), they won't notice the teams' futility on the field. No, I bet the Brewers need all the room to list the pitchers they burn through in a game. Sorry, Mark Attanasio, it wouldn’t be so frustrating if those horrid teams from the early 2000s were still in town . . . but with this team’s talent (albeit one-, maybe two-dimensional), I expect more. I tasted the playoffs two years ago; the bar ain’t goin’ back down.
Phew, now that I have that out of my system . . . time to move on and check out ESPN's profile of St. Andrews to gear up for the Open.
Ahhh, July.
