Kansas was on the ropes.

Steve Masiello To Return To Manhattan After Getting His Degree

Sonny Gray Fields Liner Off First Base For The Easy Out
Here's a fun thing that happened in yesterday's Mariners-A's game that I don't think I've ever seen before. Kyle Seager lashed a Sonny Gray pitch down the first-base line, only to see his would-be double carom off the base and right into Gray's glove, who was jogging over to cover first on his way t...
The Pacers Have Hit Rock Bottom
The good news for Pacers fans is that things can't get much worse than this. The team's month-long tailspin seems to have finally ended with a crash landing in Indiana last night.

Final Four Teamcasts Leave Viewers Confused, Enraged About "Bias"
Tonight's Final Four games were aired on TBS, with team-specific broadcasts on TNT and TruTV.

This Is Probably Around The Time You Call The Game
Yes, that is a tornado (apparently not a tornado but just a really scary stormcloud) beyond the left-field wall at yesterday's opening night for the double-A Frisco RoughRiders.
