Brewers Sign Kyle Lohse

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed veteran Kyle Lohse to a 3 year, 33 million dollar deal. This is good news to hear for Brewers fans as their starting staff have been called young and inexperienced, but now add a veteran to the mix and their starting pitchers might actually be pretty dangerous. This is my projected lineup for the brew crew when they kick the season off next week.

Hitters:
RF Norichika Aoki
2B Rickie Weeks
LF Ryan Braun
3B Aramis Ramirez
C Jonathon Lucroy
CF Carlos Gomez
1B Alex Gonalez
SS Jean Segura

Starting Rotation:
1.Yovani Gallardo
2.Kyle Lohse
3.Macro Estrada
4.Mike Fiers
5.Chris Narverson

UPSET ALERT

     #15 seed Florida Gulf Coast just defeated #2 seed Georgetown 78-68. Otto Porter Jr. had a bad game
(5-17 shooting), and FGCU just ran them out of the gym. Sherwood Brown (FGCU's star player) had a great game. He had 24 points, and 9 boards. FGCU's point guard (Bernard Thompson) had 23 points, and 10 assists.
I tried to get photos but it wouldn't let me save them, so here is a link to the photo gallery on ESPN.

March is defintely here

     Today #5 seeded Wisconsin lost to #12 seeded Ole Miss, and #4 seed K-State lost to #13 seed La Salle (La Salle beat Boise State in a play in game). So that means that there will be a 13-12 matchup in the round of 32. The tournament is already lopsided.

UPSET ALERT

Wisconsin trails Ole Miss by 4 with 1:55 remaining in the second half  UPDATE: Wisconsin Badgers fall to Ole Miss 57-46 in a bad game by the Badgers missing shot after shot with 5:00 minutes left in the game. This is no suprise to me as Ole Miss was rolling and the Badgers have struggles when they are down deep into the game. For all of you that picked Wisconsin to go to the elite eight (like me) now your brackets will be messed up because of this upset.

Nuggets rally

     Last night the Nuggets rallied late to beat the 76ers 100-101. Jrue Holiday did his part for the 76ers with 18 points, 15 assists, 4 steals, and 6 rebounds. Corey Brewer played very well for the Nuggets though, with 29 points and 5 steals. The Nuggets now have 14 straight W's.

AOTD

Yesterday's answer was Demaryius Thomas. Adam N. got the answer right.

1. She shares a birthday with a famous basketball player.

2. This athlete shares his birthday with the person US Skier Lindsey Vonn is dating.

3. Her dad is more famous than she is.

Thank Goodness it's March

In one day of March Madness a 4 seed went down,  two 5 seeds lost, a one seed almost lost, there has been a buzzer beater and two teams won by 46+. What is really better than that. Last night 14 Harvard took on a strong physical 3 New Mexico team. Harvard with huge help from Laurent Rivard and Wesley Saunders beat New Mexico by 6. Then 12 Oregon played 5 Oklahoma St.Coming out with a double digit lead at half Oregon slowed down the pace and proved that the Pac12 is a good conference. Final score 68 to 55 as Oregon takes it. After that 14 Davidson faced 3 Marquette at Lexington. Surprisingly Davidson was leading at half and by 6 with one minute left. After a few threes from Vander Blue, Junior Cadogan, and Jamil Wilson Marquette was down by 4 with 13 seconds left. Jamil Wilson hit a clutch three with 10 seconds left. Then Davidson turned the ball over with 5 seconds left. Vander Blue then lead the Golden Eagles to the win with a game winning buzzer beating left handed layup.

My (Jack's) bracket

I have Cuse winning it all in a tight game vs Duke. Ryan Kelly will go for 20, but Triche will counter with 15, along with 5 threes from Southerland.


Heat Extend Streak to 24

Last night, the Heat beat the Cavilers 98-95. At one point, the Cavs had a 27 point lead. However, Lebron did not want to lose to his former team. James posted a triple-double with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists.He also had 3 steals and 2 blocks. For the Cavs, Tyler Zeller recorded 11 rebounds and 12 points. The Heat started their comeback in the middle of the third quarter. They scored 64 points in the second half. The Heat have the second longest winning streak in NBA history.
