Two very intriguing sporting events transpired in the last 48 hours-the Red Sox began their season with a back and forth, herky jerky, 3 and 3/4 hour marathon ballgame/morality play at a unseasonably warm Fenway Park.
Back to haiku:
Opening Day! Lights!
Sounds! Bombers fall, nine-seven.
Passed ball scores winner.

Last night, Duke won the men's basketball national championship with a tremendously exciting 61-59 win over the Bulldogs of Butler University. The heavily favored Blue Devils had all they can handle from the outmanned, outgunned Bulldogs, and Butler wound up with two shots in the last five seconds to take the lead, but both shots did not fall. A tremendous game, where each basket was painfully wrenched from the other team. Very physical defense, combined with intelligent play and tons and tons of heart. Very entertaining, and very close to what basketball is supposed to be.
Yay for the Red Sox! Yay that you are back! Good to see you Michael.
