Wolves BEAT Warriors AT Golden State In O.T. !!!!!!

Wow.

If Golden State hadn't just been beaten at home, this would truly be amazing. As it is, it's still really, really cool. Golden State now has 4 games left and they have to win them all to break the all-time wins record.

Minnesota was once down by as many as 17. They went on to win 124-117. Golden State hadn't lost a game where they had at least a 15 point lead since April 10th 2014.

Whooo!!!!

Did I mention that Golden State was totally healthy? The Wolves beat their best at their house.

WHOOOOO!!

Did I miss it? Yes, those west coast games are just too late for me.

Oh, well...

WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Rain Delays and Losses

I was so pumped for the season to start...

..and then the interminable rain delays.

Over five hours after I started watching, I missed the ending...

...and we lost.

sigh

But WWE was good. Wrestlemania was a five hour spectacle, that was fun in places.

BUT it's the Raw on Monday night AFTER Wrestlemania that restarts all the storylines and last night was great.

Enzo and Big Cass are now on the Raw roster, and Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews have been promoted to Raw from NXT as well. Cesaro's back from injury. The Wyatt Family made the switch to fan-favorites, and A. J. Styles is now the number one contender for the title. That and the Vaudevillians are now scheduled for Smackdown on Thursday.

All is right in the WWE universe once more. Roman Reigns might disappointingly be the champ, but at least there's hope of new contenders on the horizon. The four-way main event last night was better than anything at Wrestlemania. They gave the fans what they wanted, FINALLY. We can only hope it builds from here.

We watched part of two games yesterday. It was great seeing KC beat the Mets in "Game 8" of the series. I'm starting to realize knocking KC off may become an enormous task for the Twins.

Twins TODAY!!

Can't wait.

Even ESPN Is Calling the NCAA Tournament Boring

No one watched the first round of the NCAA tournament. The second weekend had bad games. And yesterday's two semi-final games were blowouts. All that's left is Monday night's game to salvage an otherwise dreary national championship in college basketball.

It's a good thing so much more is going on this weekend.

Friday night, the WWE launched Wrestlemania weekend with the NXT Takeover special from Dallas. As usual their third brand rocked the house. Last night they had their Hall of Fame special. And tonight is the grand daddy of them all: Wrestlemania! Millions worldwide are expected to tune in.

And then there's...

...duh, duh, DAH...

...baseball's opening day!!!!!

Four games today with everybody else joining in tomorrow. The great void is over.

Former Twin, Francisco Liriano, starts in the first game for Pittsburgh. Three of the games will be broadcast on ESPN starting at noon.

Take me out to the ballgame...

Celtics Beat Golden State AT Golden State

ESPN Picks Twins Last In Division

They project a 77-85 record.

Now I can relax a little. If others expect nothing from the Twins, I can enjoy the season when they win, and if they don't win, I can be jaded like always.

Win. Win.
