It’s going to be a long season for fans of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was already going to include the sideshow of whether Albert is going to resign or “take his talents” elsewhere. That alone would make if difficult for not only Pujols to focus on the daily grind, but everyone around having to answer questions about the situation.
Then comes the news that Adam Wainwright blows out his elbow, will need reconstructive surgery and is out for the year and possible all/some of next year. Hard to replace 19 wins a year and the 200+ innings that Adam eats up for you club.
So it’s already bad enough and then Chris Carpenter starts experiencing hamstring issues. And it’s barely March folks. Joshua Duffy has a nice piece with further details on what the Cardinals are facing over at Sports Central. Check it out over there with caution if you are a Cardinals fan, and with glee if you support any of the other NL Central teams.
Jake Donahue at The Donahue Media Group has created some spectacularly ugly basketball courts designs based off of the new Oregon court. For those of you that haven’t seen the new Oregon court, it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen. Now I appreciate the effort and boldness that went into the design and the green lighting of the court. But try watching a game on TV. It distracts from the game play, you can’t see the 3 point line and there multi-million dollar LED ribbon light reflects off the court as well. I’m surprised they haven’t induced any seizures yet with those strobing lights.
So Jake took it upon himself to come up with some other court designs based on the Oregon court. You can check them out on his site. The comments are pretty funny as well.
Duke pulled off a 79-73 victory over North Carolina at home Wednesday night after trailing by 14 at half time. You can check out the story from CBS Sports here.
Or if you would like some Tar Heel spin on the game to learn that Duke didn’t really win, but rather UNC lost, check it out over at Carolina March.
Here are some additional NCAA Tournament March Madness links, advice and tips.
