Saturday’s Mets News: Will it Ever Stop Raining?
Last night’s Mets-Braves game was rained out. It is still raining down in Hotlanta so we don’t know what is going to happen to today’s game.
Worst case scenario, we can watch both Final Four games. So how is everybody doing in their March Madness brackets? This was the first year I actually picked all four 1 Seeds to make the Final Four. Duke was the weakest 2 Seed I’ve ever seen. But if they are a 2 Seed then everybody else is just garbage. That was my thought process for actually picking all four 1 Seeds. The Big East was completely overrated, and I didn’t need to see them get knocked out early to prove it. Georgetown a 2 Seed? Pitt a 4 Seed? UConn a 4 Seed? Who put the tournament together? It is very boring when the 1 Seeds run right through it. It should get better now because two 1 Seeds will lose today. I have UNC and UCLA in the finals with UNC being crowned king.
Back to baseball, I hope today’s game gets played because the weekend is lost if 2 out of 3 games are postponed.
